My Topic

I have chosen to write my paper on the Patriot Act. I think this current policy must be addressed and redefined. I believe writing a research paper on this topic will be very interesting not only to do, but to further educate myself on.

My current perspective on this topic is that we have had several of our freedoms infringed upon by this policy. I know that wiring taping and the reading of emails without a warrant has been allowed under this Act. This policy has been put in place to help protect us from national threats, but where does it stop?

I am really going to enjoy learning more about this topic. At this time I am strongly opposed to the Patriot Act, but with some research and thought, hopefully I can better understand it and find ways to make it stronger without Americans losing freedoms. I do not know all the aspects of the Act and look forward to increasing my knowledge on it. I hope to learn more about how the Act came into place without the direct consent of the people.

A lot of people have strong opinions about the Patriot Act. Please make sure that you are objective in your research and writing.
