Since 9/11, law enforcement agencies across America have continued to monitor and
harass groups and individuals for doing little more than peacefully exercising their
First Amendment rights. 

Virginia Cody -- a retired Air Force officer and anti-drilling activist -- was
shocked to mistakenly receive a bulletin from the Pennsylvania Homeland Security
Director describing the monitoring of several anti-drilling groups. The bulletin
revealed that Virginia and other anti-drilling activists who were peacefully
exercising their First Amendment rights were included in state "anti-terrorism"
reports. 

Unfortunately, Virgina's story is not unique. Last year, the ACLU released a report
that revealed that these kinds of law enforcement behaviors -- monitoring,
infiltrating and spying -- have taken place in at least 33 states plus the District
of Columbia in recent years. This means countless Americans have been put under
surveillance or harassed by the police just for deciding to organize, march,
protest, espouse controversial viewpoints, or engage in normal, innocuous behaviors
such as writing notes or taking photographs in public. 

Take action: Oppose reauthorization of parts of the PATRIOT Act that allow
domestic spying.
