    For those who are interested, here are a couple of good sites.  EPIC
    (Electronic Privacy Information Center) and EFF (Electronic Freedom
    Foundation) have both been at the forefront of identifying impacts
    and educating lawmakers and the public on the Patriot Act.  EPIC
    tends not to go into unwarranted histrionics, and provides online
    access to the full text of the Patriot Act in all its glory so you
    can read it yourself. 

    Moveon.org is an interesting political advocacy grassroots movement
    that has had a unique impact for such a young organization.  It could
    be a good way for some of you who are interested to get involved in
    communication and direct action, if you find that the direction of
    your motivation goes in their direction. 

    EPIC's Patriot Act page can be found at:
    http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/usapatriot/ 

    EFF's continued coverage of the online impact of the Patriot Act can
    be found at: 

    http://www.eff.org/Privacy/Surveillance/Terrorism/20011031_eff_usa_patriot_analysis.php

    Slate has published some interesting articles on the topic
    (www.slate.com) and the ACLU has predictably weighed in with
    strong-worded advocacy of its own (www.aclu.org). 

    FINALLY... 

    The U.S. Department of Justice has published its own "advocacy" page
    (note the absence of a .gov url?) in defense of the Patriot Act at:
    http://www.lifeandliberty.gov/ 

Hope this helps!
