Bill of Rights Defense Committee: Ask your Congressperson to cosponsor the Freedom to Read Protection Act, HR 1157:

To protect libraries, bookstores, and their patrons, Congressman Sanders has introduced HR 1157: the "Freedom to Read Protection Act of 2003." This bill, which has the support of the American Library Association and the American Booksellers Association, would reinstate legal standards which were in place for libraries and bookstores before the passage of the USA Patriot Act. Combined, these organizations represent tens of thousands of individual librarians and booksellers in every part of the country who have serious concerns about this section of the USA Patriot Act. In addition, this bill would increase Congressional oversight over the use of Section 215.
