Objectives

  • Reinforce, in communities, in the press, and in Congress, the magnitude of debate and discontent with the laws and policies in question.
  • Justify our complaints where possible with stories of real people, especially local ones.
  • Show the diversity of voices demanding change: political persuasions, religious affiliations, ethnic groups, and more.
  • Demonstrate some nationwide consensus.
  • Awaken those still unaware, and inspire them to question what they've been told by the administration.
  • Build upon the momentum of the resolutions movement.
  • Connect the congressional debate with the community debate.
  • Expand the debate about the USA PATRIOT Act to include the various post-9/11 laws and policies that threaten civil liberties.
