RE: SLA-SF: [Fwd: USA PATRIOT Act Resolutions of State Library Associations,
fromA LA]I hate to sound like an unreconstructed Marxist, but it's no
surprise that a public library organization is in the forefront of this
struggle, while a library association that represents many folks who depend
on large corporations for their employment, has different interests and
not-so-progressive or civil-liberties-minded politics.
It seems like individuals are going to be powerless in this situation, and
the only possibility for action on the part of Headquarters would be as a
result of group action at the Annual Conference. Unfortunately I'm not
attending. There must be those out there who think like we do. The phones
in DC are totally jammed today.

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.
