Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself

USA PATRIOT Act 

In 2007 we are working for Congressional reform of the Patriot Act, including the repeal of the Act’s provision that grants the FBI expanded powers to demand sensitive personal information without judicial supervision though the use of so-called National Security Letters. 

Working with local Idaho groups, the ACLU of Idaho won the passage of city Patriot Act resolutions in communities such as Moscow and Boise.  Leadership of the ACLU of Idaho has worked with and encouraged members of the Idaho federal delegation, including Congressman Butch Otter and Senator Larry Craig, to rein in some Patriot Act powers, such as by limiting “sneak & peek” searches and by advancing the Security and Freedom Ensured Act (SAFE).
