A Patriot Act Are we in the midst of a theocratic coup in America?
A Patriot Act (2004) A Patriot Act is a chilling indictment of the stealth movement to subvert the US Constitution and replace American democracy with religious values.Featuring renowned media critic Mark Crispin Miller - author of The Bush Dyslexicon and Cruel & Unusual: Bush/Cheney's New World Order.
If you care about the Constitution, you may be shocked to learn how successfully the Bush administration has been at undermining it. And you will be even more horrified at what they have planned for America's future.
Director: Lilibet Foster Language: English Length: 80 min
Our 43rd President has a real way with words, but we can't just laugh at his verbal gaffs. Using news clips and other media sources, Miller reveals meaning behind Bush's mistakes, and uncovers the influence of fundamentalist ideology in every nook and cranny of the Bush administration. The difference between this President's goals for the U.S. and its citizens and the intentions of the Founding Fathers, is starkly clear.
Acclaimed filmmaker Lilibet Foster earned an Academy Award nomination for her documentary, "Speaking in Strings" and an Independent Spirit Award for Soul In The Hole."
Our users comments: "It really knocked my socks off! In my opinion, it's a much more important and compelling work than "Fahrenheit 9/11." If you order it, show it to your Republican friends." "I had the opportunity to see your fantastic presentation of Patriot Act. Your presentation along with my own research have, as you hoped, made me want to go out and pick a (good) fight!" I found this film to be very fresh. The information presented is not just a reconfiguration of what I've seen, but a perspective from a different angle. An important film. - DD
Beyond the Patriot Act Part 1 of the ACLU series The Freedom Files.
Beyond the Patriot Act (2005) Through personal stories of ordinary Americans, Beyond the Patriot Act tells how a misguided law and other government overreactions to Sept. 11 have restricted our most basic constitutional freedoms and threaten America’s system of checks and balances. After 9/11, thousands of South Asians and other immigrants were interrogated and deported. A Houston woman was left nearly destitute after her husband was shipped off to Pakistan. An Iraqi artist, tortured under Saddam's regime, was arrested while traveling across the U.S., repeatedly interrogated and imprisoned, lost his job, and family members have withdrawn from him after the FBI interrogated them.
A growing grassroots campaign of Americans of all political affiliations led to the passage of nearly 400 community resolutions opposing the Patriot Act. A librarian talks about the need to dump library records to protect the privacy of her patrons.
Director: Jeremy Kagan Language: English Length: 30 min.
Using an edgy mix of various styles of media -- documentary, dramatic, comedic (including a funny take on the Bill of Rights with Harry Shearer), animation, music, interviews, re-creations and graphics – the show is a sight-and-sound collage that creates a powerful emotional effect certain to motivate viewers to action.
On the lighter side!

Our users comments: It's a hoot!
Being the State that made a difference and knowing a thing about stolen votes with our own scandal of polls not being opened in a timely fashion and closed before they should have been, and __ only getting a 10 thousand fine! And being able to be voted back in! This hits home.
