The Minneapolis Bill Of Rights Defense Committee was formed in order to promote a City Resolution opposing those parts of the USA PATRIOT and Homeland Security Acts, and associated orders and directives that threaten our Constitutionally guaranteed Civil Rights. Our organization is limited to promoting this resolution. We are not associated with any political party or other organization beyond a common interest in this goal. We welcome the participation of people and groups from across the political and social spectrums.
Following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the United States government responded to the threat of terrorism with legislation including the USA PATRIOT and Homeland Security Acts, various Executive and Military Orders, and directives made by the executive branch of the federal government. Although intended to increase domestic security, they grant sweeping and unconstitutional powers, and contain the potential for widespread abuse of civil liberties and political repression.
UNCHECKED POWER CAN AND WILL BE ABUSED, AND WILL NOT BE WILLINGLY RELINQUISHED
ACT NOW - WHILE YOU STILL CAN
It's time for citizen action! We must take back our Constitutional rights! Locally, city-by-city, we will pass resolutions to oppose and work for the repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act and related Acts, Orders, and Directives. 27 local governments have already passed such resolutions, with many others in progress.
