Cross posted (originally from CALIX).
>Don't miss an extraordinary opportunity to hear Representative Bernie
>Sanders (I-Vt) speak about his legislation, the Freedom to Read
>Protection Act, which would exempt libraries and bookstores from key
>provisions of the Patriot Act. Representative Bernie Sanders will make
>two appearances in California next week, Thursday, May 29 at the San
>Francisco Public Library and Friday, May 30 at UCLA, to discuss his
>legislation, The Freedom to Read Protection Act. Librarians,
>booksellers, and First Amendment advocates are all encouraged to attend
>these events to show their support.
>
>We had very short notice (a week!) to arrange these events, but we
>really couldn't pass up the opportunity to bring Rep. Sanders in person
>to California library venues, and to give California's librarians a
>chance to show their support for the Freedom to Read Protection Act.
>This is history-making legislation--and your participation counts!
>
>Representative Sanders' legislation, The Freedom to Read Protection Act,
>would amend the Patriot Act to restore legal standards for
>investigations of libraries and bookstores to levels in place before the
>passage of the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act now allows the FBI to search
>their records without a traditional search warrant. This is the first
>legislation that has been introduced in the House of Representatives to
>amend the Patriot Act and is being supported by a nation-wide grass
>roots coalition of librarians, booksellers, privacy and civil liberties
>advocates and citizens.

>The San Francisco event will be held on Thursday, May 29, from 3:30 -
