Do you agree with republicans that the American people can be spied on and searched with out warrants? Or do you agree with democrats that it is clealy breaking the constitution and your personal rights?
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 or Patriot act was strongly supported by John Ashcroft, who was the United States attorny general under George W. Bush in his first term. This act is also supported by republican senators and representatives. It was signed October 26, 2001. I could explain what all this did but that would take way to long so here, It stated that the United States goverment could spy or track anything from computers to phone calls, it also said that the United states could search you house with out a warrant, which clearly breaks the constitution. Research to find more on it. So do you agree or disagree?

I think that the big brother bill is wrong simply because it goes against teh consititution the consititution is becoming more and more irrelavent its what this country was founded on we need to start paying more attention to the constitution.
it also invades our privacy in america we have a firts amendment right to freedom of speech and by doing this then we clearly no longer have that freedom of speach thats why i think its not a matter of security

Funny thing is we American's must be the terrorist! Or why would one be spying on Americans while leaving the boarders wide open! Terrorist can get in the boarders just like illegals!!!! But it's so much more important to hear me tell my relatives that I think they sucked for voting for the president!!! Instead of keeping terrorists from coming into the country via the board!!!!!!Block the boarders and prevent future terrorists from entering the country before you spy on Americans!!!!

Your so-called "question" is based on multiple callous misrepresentations of the PATRIOT Act. Having worked very closely with the legislation as a federal worker myself, I have seen first hand how critical the PATRIOT Act is to ensuring our security. Like so many others like yourself, a political agenda trumps any real intellectual debate. Step up to the plate, and actually READ the bill rather than peddling your crude propaganda to YAHOO readers.

This is not a Republican nor Democrat question. The question should be addressed to the United States of America.
The climate has changed, either we trust the ones we have put into office to do what is best for us, or we do what is right in every man's eyes. Our leadership has knowledge and information we do not have. To presume we know better comes from a "fools" or "serpents" heart. Every terrorist in the country is rooting for that fool.
When we vote, let us do our homework and vote for the person who we feel is most likely going to do the job for us that is needed. Then let us let the leadership lead.

Yes, some people should be spied on in the national interest. There phones should be tapped and houses searched. Liberals want you to think that the feds are spying on you when your talking to your mom or one of your friends on the phone. Its just not true. These are the same people that use the Constitution for toilet paper. Don't listen to them.

Do you compromise with Obama on the grounds that he has prolonged using the Patriot act? do you comprehend that extra unlawful wiretapping has handed off under Obama than Bush? have been you listening at present whilst it replaced into uncovered that the FBI had in simple terms come under examine for extra incidents of unlawful wiretapping on a similar time as Obama replaced into President than in Bush's entire term? I guess the View and MSNBC forgot to show that. Watch actual information for as quickly as.

I've got nothing to hide. I'm not doing anything wrong. I am a sick person and say deplorable things, but I'm not a terrorist. If it helps catch terrorists, I'm all for letting the government have some of my privacy.

I have no problem with it. I am not worried about any potential spying on me.
Everyone in the Senate voted for it , except Russ Feingold

i have no trouble with the government listening in on phone calls made by people with known terroristic ties. if it saves lives i am more than willing to sacrifice a few civil liberties. id rather have big brother keeping me safe than having me get killed by terrorists because he didnt care.
