The Patriot Act
I feel like if this kind of simple, broken-down list of what the Patriot Acts lets our government do made the front page of a few major newspapers, this permanent renewall never would have happened.
I urge anyone who takes an interest in politics to check out this entry, and write their representatives.
An excerpt of what the Patriot Act allows:
Obtain personal data, including medical records, without any specific facts connecting those records to a foreign terrorist.
Prohibit doctors and insurance companies from disclosing to their patients that their medical records have been seized by the government.
Enter your home or office and seize items for an indefinite period of time, without informing you that a warrant has been issued.
