The bipartisan bill, which was introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on September 24, 2003, and co-sponsored by 19 other representatives, addresses mounting concerns raised by citizens at a grassroots level who have organized to defend the bill of rights. The Kucinich-Paul bill repeals 15 sections of the original USA PATRIOT Act, including those that permit: * "sneak and peak" delayed notification search warrants (section 213), * warrant-less searches of a broad range of personal records including library, medical, and financial records (section 215), * the indefinite detention and deportation of non-citizens without judicial review (section 415). The True Patriot Act also bans: * certain post-9/11 special immigration detention regulations including the use of local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws, * Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) restructuring that limits immigrants' judicial review. FOR FULL TEXT OF THE BILL, GO TO: http://capwiz.com/cair/webreturn/?url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:H.R.3171: Contact your representative today and encourage him or her to support this bill.
