Help pass the Enumerated Powers Act: http://www.downsizedc.org/etp/campaigns/87 Representative John Shadegg (R-AZ) has re-introduced The Enumerated Powers Act (EPA) - HR 450 [You can read the entire bill on our Background page]. EPA would require Congress to reference the specific clause(s) of the U.S. Constitution that grant them the power to enact laws and take other congressional actions. "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce." —James Madison, Federalist No. 45

I think the patriot act should be scrapped. When it first came out I was naive enough to believe it would only be temporary but that turns out not to be true. Its not longer needed and quite frankly I fear it being misused to declare everyone a political terrorist.
