The "library records" provision of the so-called Patriot Act could also be known as the "gun records" provision, because it also allows the FBI to seize the forms you use to buy guns.

This infamous provision, Section 215, is a direct assault on your Fourth Amendment rights because it allows the FBI to obtain personal information about you, without a warrant and without your knowledge.

Section 215 is set to expire in May, along with two other provisions. But Congress will probably renew these provisions unless it hears from YOU.

Tell Congress to repeal the ENTIRE Patriot Act, and renew NONE of its provisions.

You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .

The FBI already had powerful tools to combat terrorism before the Patriot Act. The FISA court would allow the FBI to obtain records of suspected terrorists from motels, car rental agencies, storage facilities, and similar businesses.

But the Patriot Act's Section 215 dangerously broadens this power. Now, the FBI can . . .

* Merely claim, without providing ANY evidence, that the information it seeks is "relevant" to a terrorism investigation
* Acquire personal information on anyone, including U.S. citizens not suspected of terrorism (or any other crime)
* "Gag" institutions and businesses so they can't tell people they are being investigated
* Obtain even the most private information, such as emails, medical records, library history, and gun purchase forms

Section 215 violates not only the Fourth Amendment, but also the First and Second Amendments. The federal government has no business knowing what I read or how many guns I own.

The Justice Department's own Inspector General has found that the FBI uses Section 215 powers tens of thousands of times per year, mostly targeted at innocent Americans.

This makes me suspect that the real purpose of Section 215 isn't to protect me, but instead to allow the FBI to spy on, intimidate, and blackmail people it doesn't like, just as it did in the J. Edgar Hoover days.

If you don't want to be compared to J. Edgar, then don't allow the FBI the power to invade the privacy of innocent Americans. Oppose renewal of Section 215. Instead, repeal the Patriot Act!

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

On Wednesday, the U.S. House ignored the wishes of millions of American voters and passed a do-nothing “Continuing Resolution” (CR) to fund the government for the next three weeks.

The CR now heads to the Senate for an expected vote on Thursday. Gun Owners of America has written Senate members to let them know of its opposition to that CR.

The first issue is ObamaCare. Republicans ran for election promising that they would repeal it -– or at least defund it. But it is increasingly apparent that some members of the leadership lack the courage to defund ObamaCare on the short-term CR … or on the long-term CR on April 8 … or on the debt limit.

So when, exactly, do they intend to show us that their word is worth the paper it is written on?

The problem for gun owners is that ObamaCare will allow the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives(ATF) to troll its health database for Americans who suffer from ailments such as PTSD –-millions of whom could find themselves subject to a gun ban under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(4).

The second issue for us is that the three-week CR fails to include the Boren-Rehberg amendment, which would block efforts by the ATF to set up an illegal gun registry of multiple firearms sales.

Without defunding ObamaCare –- and without incorporating the Boren-Rehberg amendment -– this CR will continue to fund these unconstitutional activities, thereby endorsing them.

We are particularly sickened by cowards who are so afraid that Barack Obama will shut down his own administration that they are willing to allow him to dictate every provision in each CR.

ACTION: Contact your Senators and tell them to vote against the three-week CR.

Will Congress Lay the Groundwork for Gun Confiscation?

Within the next 90 days, Congress will vote on whether to reauthorize legislation to specifically allow the government potential access to millions of gun records (4473’s).

Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, which must be reauthorized soon, is of particular concern.

This section allows the FBI to seize business records -- including the 4473 forms that gun buyers fill out. The only significant caveat is that the FBI must claim that the seizure of records is needed pursuant to “an authorized investigation.”

But since a secret court is required to rubber-stamp the government’s request (unless it fails to make even a specious case), the FBI can easily abuse its authority. The Inspector General found that, between 2003 and 2006, the FBI may have violated the law over 6,000 times with respect to their authority under various provisions of the PATRIOT Act.

So just imagine that it’s your gun records that have been seized. Under such circumstances, the gun dealer is specifically prohibited, under penalty of law, from telling you that the FBI has confiscated the records of your firearms purchases. Under the PATRIOT Act, any limitations on the use of the seized records shall be at the sole discretion of the Department of Justice.

Talk about the fox guarding the hen house!

It is imperative that Congress protect gun owners from rogue government agents who would abuse their authority to register gun owners.

We’ve already seen the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives attempt to register gun owners recently when they tried to require certain gun dealers to report anyone who, within a five day period, tried to purchase two or more semi-automatic rifles (that are .22 caliber or greater and can accept a detachable magazine).

Historically, gun registration has been a prelude to gun confiscation, as documented by the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership almost 20 years ago. They showed how several foreign governments in the Twentieth Century had used gun control -- and quite often gun registration -- to confiscate firearms. In each case, such confiscation was a prelude to genocide.

ACTION: Contact your two senators and insist that any language to reauthorize Section 215 also contain language to protect 4473’s from the Obama administration’s scrutiny. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your legislators the pre-written e-mail message below.

I received a disturbing twitter message from someone who claims to be in Egypt. They are making claims that the military who is their to temporarily calm things down after their oppressive leader Mubarak fled, is beating, shocking, torturing, arresting and even killing the protesters.

Is the military doing the work that Mubarack would have done while he was there or is there something more to what is happening?

The BBC reported last week Arrests and deaths as Egypt protest spreads across Middle East. You have to ask were the demonstrators really seeking a democracy?

Simply put, they were already living under a dictatorship and a democracy isn't far from it. A democracy can be simply defined as a government that does what is believes is best for the people.

On the other hand, a republic, like the one the US founded upon can be defined as a government that is LIMITED by a Constitution and equally protects the rights of all people equally.

The Mideast is in a turmoil and the people of Egypt want to Live Free however, it appears that they and many others around the region are living under autocratic and military rule.

If truly successful, the people of the mideast will revolt against their leaders and overcome their oppressive governments.

Our hearts and prayers goes out to anyone living under such rule.

Those concerned with liberty and freedom are not all that pleased with how their newly elected Tea Party members have voted on the Patriot Act Provisions.

Twitter is on fire with disparaging comments about the so called tea party members who voted in support of the renewal provisions of the act.

Most Americans want our nation kept safe, but they do not want it done at the loss of their liberties. Domestic spying, warrantless wiretapping, and the list goes on and on.

The GOP was not able to get the votes they needed for a two-thirds majority this week, so they are taking a new route to get their unconstitutional agenda passed.

They will hold another vote. This time only a majority vote passes or fails. Perhaps, it is time Americans stand up, call, fax and email their supposed representatives and tell them to vote no on the extension of the patriot act.

While they are at it, they should be calling both house and senate members. Because the Democrat controlled senate is working on their own version of the legislation in case the the GOP Controlled House isn't able to pass their version.

The GOP and the Democrats both are ignoring the will of the people. Working hand in hand to shred our liberties. Perhaps, now is the time to tell them, all that they can be replaced by third party candidates come 2012.

Call today (202) 224-3121 TELL THEM NO TO PATRIOT ACT Provisions & Repeal it.

GOD'S Word for Today
As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. Proverbs 11:19 (KJV)
