************************************************* American Civil Liberties Union Big wins, bold plans http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=R3IoBP46LCfsF6eRiv0Utw.. ************************************************* Dear ACLU Supporter,
You and the ACLU just dealt another blow to the Patriot Act. This week, a federal appeals court upheld our earlier victory, ruling that the dangerous National Security Letter provision of the Act is unconstitutional. This big win stands alongside our recent court victory that prevents the Bush administration from deporting people without the chance to challenge flimsy "diplomatic assurances" that they won't be tortured when they return to their home country. And in another recent victory, ACLU lawyers helped strike down Florida's 30-year-old ban on gay adoption. It takes sustained effort to make victories like this possible. With your help, this can be more than just a series of dramatic legal victories -- this can be the start of success on multiple fronts as we renew American freedom. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
