DOJ's Forfeiture Expansion Bill was just introduced in the Senate - S-1701! We must act now to defeat this horrible bill and get a HR 1658 companion bill introduced! A DOJ-drafted forfeiture expansion bill has been introduced in the Senate -- Sessions/Shumer senate forfeiture bill -- S-1701. This is a horrible forfeiture expansion bill which makes forfeiture procedures worse than present law. The sponsors of S-1701 are: Senators *Jeff Sessions (R. Ala.) and *Charles Schumer (D. N.Y.). The cosponsors are: *Strom Thurmond (R. S.C.), *Joseph Biden (D. Del.), Jesse Helms (R. N.C.), *Diane Feinstein (D. Cal.) and Max Cleland (D. Ga.). (Senators marked by asterisks are on the Judiciary Committee.) It is urgent that we all act now to defeat this horrible bill and get Senate support for a companion bill to HR 1658. Please write or e-mail your Senators now, asking them to oppose S-1701 and to co-sponsor a companion bill to HR 1658, the Hyde Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Bill which passed in the House this summer. If your Senator is on the Judiciary Committee (see http://www.fear.org/sen_judic.html for a list of Judiciary Committee members) it is especially important that you write him or her now, to stop this horrible S-1701 from passing out of the Judiciary Committee. Watch FEAR-List and the FEAR website for news as it breaks! ATTENTION: ALL FEAR ACTIVISTS, VOLUNTEERS AND STATE COORDINATORS: Please contact all your friends and relatives, and members of other sympathetic organizations and encourage them to help out by writing, calling, e-mailing or visiting with their Senators too! >>
