To: President Donald Trump
Repeal the Patriot Act, Mr. President.
We ask President Obama to promise to repeal the Patriot Act if elected to a second term, as part of a general goal of returning our security status to pre 9/11 levels.
Why is this important?
Although Al Queda may always be a threat, that threat has clearly been reduced. With their leadership decimated, and a reduction of troop presence in Afghanistan set to begin in 2014, the security situation is clearly improving. We feel it is time to begin returning America's security status to pre 9/11 levels, beginning with the repeal of the invasive Patriot Act.
We ask President Obama to make this a significant campaign promise for his second term.
