Demand Progress:
Why is PATRIOT Act reform so imperative? The Electronic Frontier Foundation just dug up documents that show that the FBI has used the PATRIOT Act to spy on innocent children: "The report describes the FBI's monitoring of young children for five days, despite the fact that none of the voices being monitored matched the voice or language of the target."
On Tuesday, April 5th, thousands of Demand Progress members and other Americans will call the White House. We'll tell President Obama to keep his campaign promises by vetoing any PATRIOT Act renewal bill that lacks powerful new checks and balances to protect the privacy of innocent Americans. Will you join us?

The PATRIOT Act is up for renewal next month. Congress members blocked a 3-year extension earlier this year, and many have proposed important amendments that would help protect Americans' civil liberties. We have a real chance to fix it, but we need President Obama to join our cause. Will you call Obama on April 5th?
join me in making your voice count!

Dell is not a cockroach but she has some free stand-up material and she's thankful for it.
U People Stories are stories from regular everyday people, gay, straight, black, white and with varied beliefs who have had been made to feel like the "other". These are the kinds of stories that we all have carried with us; where it would make you cry if you thought about it but makes you laugh when you talk about it.
What the U People Story Archive does is build a bridge of understanding that unifies our struggles while at the same time lifting an emotional weight off the shoulders of the storyteller. These stories are humorous, moving and timeless. They are individually a testament of how discrimination and the emotions that result connect, effect and can change us all.
