Were you aware that the USA Patriot act has been renewed? Obviously, with little to no attention from mainstream media, most of the united States will answer with a resounding “NO”  What does this all mean? Here is just a taste; You probably were not aware about the government sending a court order to Twitter, seeking information on all 635,561 users that are following WikiLeaks.

Lucky for you, Twitter appealed this secrecy or we'd likely never have even heard about it. What of all the other cases that we don't hear about? What of all those who have been to intimidated to come forth and speak up?

What about Americans who lack the financial means, or know-how to properly speak up? Coup Media, in Patriotic fashion, is bringing this all to light in hopes that your voice, as a Citizen of these United States of America, will be heard. You can register at www.congress.org to write to your senators, representative, and the president your support or opposition.

The USA PATRIOT Act (commonly known as the "Patriot Act") is an Act of the U.S. Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. The title of the Act is a contrived three letter initialism (USA) preceding a seven letter acronym (PATRIOT), which in combination stand for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

The PATRIOT Act dramatically reduced the restrictions of law enforcement agencies ability to search phone and e-mail communications, medical, financial, and  various other records. Surprisingly, the act eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States, and expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, specifically those involving foreign individuals and entities. Facing large opposition from a large US population was the expanded the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, effectively enlarging the number of activities to which the USA PATRIOT Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.

The Patriot act was passed by a majority of both houses of Congress. Opponents of the law have long criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions, searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge. Furthermore the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order, and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records has faced mass opposition. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are in fact unconstitutional.

Do you remember Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the united states of America? {The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.}

Just how patriotic is the Patriot Act? Has history shown us these colors before?
"It is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
—Nazi German Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goering


So, for at least another year we will continue under the unconstitutional burdens of the patriot act. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) is credited with introducing the bill that renewed it. Now we watch as the two most important rights we currently enjoy are subjected to a firestorm of attacks.
