GREAT (and informative) post. Unfortunately, it can only benefit those who are not blinded by their own personal political ideology ... no matter the side.
I did not know the following:
American Library Acc(sic)ociation: This group is working to repeal every aspect of the Patriot Act.
I didn't think the American Library Association had anything going for it until now. I'll have to consider a donation. Any group (left or right) working to dismantle these euphemistically-labeled, UNCONSTITUTIONAL laws, gets a star in my book!
