Eugene Oregon council opposes USA Patriot Act

by nana
The Eugene, Oregon, City Council Passes a Resolution Opposing the USA Patriot Act in response to a citizen petition. The document also asks Oregon Congressmen to try and revoke the law. Fourteen other local governments have passed similar resolutions.
November 25, 2002

The document asks the US Attorney's Office and all federal, state, and local law enforcement officials to report to the City of Eugene the extent and manner in which they act under the new law. For instance, the resolution asks police to report the names and charges of any people being detained under the law, and to disclose the extent that federal authorities are monitoring political and religious gatherings in Eugene.

"If we grow up thinking that it's ok to profile, it's ok to subject people to searches, then what is ok?"
