Barack Obama when he was in the senate under George W. Bush voted against The Patriot Act because it is a violation of our individual rights and liberties. The bill allows government agents to right their own search warrents and tap on peoples electronic devices plus incriminate people for using freespeech without a warrent from a judge. The government can read our e-mails, our mail, our texts on social media, etc. without even knowing about it. It violates not only our first amendment rights to "Freedom of speech" but our Bill of Rights "Right to privacy and right to be left alone." These rights come from our creator not the US constitution. The US constitution was written to keep government off our backs and out of our private lives.
