Thank you Karen. You took the words out of my mouth. I have been trying to
get through to Washington DC all morning. I protest when, where, and how I
can, and it gauls me to belong to a national organization that is pandering
to this madness. If I do not speak out, they will come for me....

I hate to think this way but I am pretty sure that an organization that for
all
intent and purpose promotes the notion of "homeland security" is not likely
to want
to take a stand against the USA PATRIOT Act. I personally have been quite
disappointed in SLA's direction for quite a while and if it were not for my
fondness for the local chapters I would have not joined at all this year.
