Support the Freedom to Read

Under the USA PATRIOT Act, the FBI gained the power to search your library and book-buying records without probable cause of any crime or intent to commit a crime. It also stops librarians and booksellers from telling you that this search has even occurred.

The FBI has been aggressively using these new powers without providing Congress with explanations about its activities. A University of Illinois survey shows libraries were targeted at least 175 times in the year after 9/11 -- yet the FBI refuses to explain how or why.

In response to these invasions of our civil liberties, a bipartisan group of Representatives have introduced an amendment to an appropriations bill that would restore many key checks and balances. This amendment will be voted on in the coming days and deserves our strong support.
