Would you urge representatives in Congress to support passing these laws or do you believe these steps could lead to a more totalitarian government and the loss of your freedom?

No, because our freedoms are what defines our nation. Removing those would cause us not to be America any more. After all, we hold dear the words "Give me liberty or give me death," not "I'll do what you want, just don't hurt me." And rights, once surrendered, are very difficult to regain. And once some are given up it becomes easier for more to be taken away.

No, the odds of me dying in a terrorist attack are astronomically small. There is nothing to fear but fear itself when it comes to terrorism. I would be willing to bet that more Americans have died in alcohol-related traffic crashes in the last month than have been killed by terrorists in the last decade (yes I would include 9/11). There is no need to remove freedoms.

Hell no, we are over governed as it is, how are you going to protect us from terrorists? Cutting off our freedoms would no way make us any safer from terrorists. Like I said before the war on terror is just as futile as the war on drugs.

No, because the hardcore/determined terrorists will find ways to attack regardless of the restrictions. It's foolish to think otherwise.

They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin... so no.
