that the American Freedom Campaign is joining the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. After seeing what happened in Arizona, this is probably a good idea. Until Democrats on the national level get serious about the loss of freedom in this country since 9/11 ushered in by the Bush administration, I think fighting on the local level is probably the best approach. They are the ones that spearheaded Constitutional protections on the local level against possible abuses of the Patriot Act. This may well have to be the approach we the people must take in an anti-freedom climate such as today. That would produce mechanisms that could fight back and possibly provide positive outcome cases in the legal system. I wasn't even aware of this organization though I did know of some local towns here in NC such as Chapel Hill creating their own ordinances that refused to accept the Patriot Act provisions for its citizens.
