Re: Senate Bill 2476.
Dear Senator Clinton:
I am writing asking that you (oppose or in favor) Senate Bill 2476, “An Act to amend the USA PATRIOT ACT to repeal the sunsets. (Section 224 of the Patriot Act)”
Certainly, the threat of terror has been demonstrated with tragic acuity, so I understand the need for a robust policy to defend against future attacks. Unfortunately, because of the pace and urgency of its construction, I believe the Patriot Act raises serious legal and constitutional questions regarding its interpretation and application.
The breadth and scope of the sweeping changes left unknown all the possible fallout. For that very reason, the wisdom of authoring a sunset clause was incorporated into the document. Healthy debate and solemn reevaluation seem more than appropriate. The current sunset date ensures a necessary measure of scrutiny will be applied.
Please, I implore you to (oppose or in favor) Senate Bill 2476.
Respectfully,
