Of course the Patriot act undermines America's freedom! Anything that has to do with cutting into peoples lives via their phone calls or their bank accounts is a huge infringement into all peoples freedom. There is no doubt in my mind that this current administration has completely undermined all of America's freedoms, something that is a formal part of the government of the United States of America itself. Anything that has to do with in interrupting in peoples personal affairs is a direct assault on the Constitution, and this government is doing everything that they can to gain information unlawfully. The Patriot act is just another way that the government is trying to take control of everyday life, this has to be stopped or we will all loose our freedom. This is a direct attack on everyday American's lives and it has to be put to an end, the government has no right looking into peoples personal lives and reading there bank accounts information. The Bush administration has completely undermined everything that America stands for since it bought power almost 8 years ago, from completely ignoring the U.N. to putting into place this Patriot act they have dissolved the American Constitution in every way that they can. This current administration are some of the biggest criminals walking the free earth, there injustices must be stopped before it is to late for all American's. How much freedom are you willing to give up for the false pretense of safety? If you believe that the government will actually protect you from the terrorist you need to take a closer look at your own government that is in power right now. This is an abomination as it comes to your freedom and the freedom of all Americans.
