ACLU Online Discussion of Patriot Act

On Thursday, July 31, the ACLU will be hosting a live online chat discussing the FBI’s broad new surveillance powers under the USA PATRIOT Act. Hear about the Fourth and First Amendment defects to a provision in the law that allows the government to obtain records or personal belongings from any person or entity, including public libraries, upon the mere showing of “relevance” to a terrorism investigation.

  • Ann Beeson, ACLU Associate Legal Director, will be answering questions about the USA PATRIOT Act from 1-2pm Eastern Thursday, July 31. Just visit
