The Patriot Act is one of many Bush failures used moreso to control people and invade privacy than to protect people. Boston was a prime example. Cops rampaging through people's homes with guns drawn, rummaging through their personal belongings without warrant. There is entirely too much power given to the Government in the Patriot Act, power that is used to control the people instead of protect them.
Abolish the Patriot Act Obama, and make good on your promises of more transparency in the Government.
