USA PATRIOT Act
Senator Russell Feingold, Representative Patsy Mink, and Lucy Dalglish of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press spoke at a press briefing on Capitol Hill on April 25, in anticipation of the six month anniversary of The USA PATRIOT Act. The event was coordinated by NCAC and other members of the Free Expression Network, who released a statement describing how the Act has dramatically expanded the investigative powers of the federal government at the expense of constitutional freedoms.
