Recent event raises unfounded fears about Patriot Act
Doug Thurber
Anacortes American...Wed August 4, 2004
A merchant alert is issued via this letter, as flyer-posting people may in this political season be advertising events on your windows that you do not want associated with your business. Some merchants are partisan, some allow the posting of "anything," but other storekeepers were surprised at the nature of a recent event sponsored by "Women for Change" and the American Civil Liberties Union. I learned this while handing out a "support our troops and pray for our leaders" flyer distributed by a group of us who believe that our country is just and should rightly be strong.

I had never attended an ACLU event, this one hosted by the "The Women for Change" and featuring the "GASP" players; but I was to find out what some shopkeepers already knew. This letter won't allow a complete review, but this paper may soon. Essentially the evening was anti-government using the Patriot Act as the focal point via skits from a a group from Seattle.

I can reassure you citizens who are grounded in reality and did not attend that none of your library business is monitored and that law enforcement authorities seek your safety and not your liberties. This statement conflicts with the message that the presenters intended to convey.

The "Women for Change" is a new group for me, but I am aware of what the liberal left looks like. I don't know enough to class them as such, but they don't mind hosting the likes of this event. My first assessment is of a small group of the privileged that drifted to loathe the system that elevated their lives.

Mind your postings and God bless you all.
