Proposed reforms to the Patriot Act

From the ACLU web site:

The government should not be allowed to indiscriminately investigate your library and other personal records. These proposals would amend the PATRIOT ACT to require "individualized suspicion" that the records being sought are related to someone who is acting for a foreign government or terrorist organization. It prohibits the government from embarking on fishing expeditions where they examine a large number of people’s records without any reasonable suspicion in the hopes that they might find a potential terrorist.

If you feel that the Patriot Act is in need of the above reform as well as others, you can and should let your senators know. Go to http://action.aclu.org/freedomtoread.
