Patriot Act And Patriot Act II Position Of The Sierra Club

Laptop Battery Over the past 6 months several groups and chapters have asked about if they can participate in public events challenging the Patriot Act or Patriot Act II. At the time we asked our grassroots leaders to hold off because we did not have a national position. At it's meeting last week the Board approved a Conservation Governance Committee position statement which is printed below. With this position in place it is fine for Chapters and Groups to participate in events in furtherance of this position.

But back to my point about timing being everything. The New York Times, which broke the story, admits that they sat on the story for about a year due to claims by Bush's staff that the publication of the story could negatively affect national security. Sounds almost patriotic until you start to question why the Times decided to break the story on the day the Senate addressed the Patriot Act extension In fact, today's Democrat talking points included references to the NSA spy story during any televised debate on the Patriot Act.

Thinkpad That said, we request that Chapters and Groups not sign on to national letters, statements, or ads on this topic unless the specific language has been approved by the VP for Conservation or his designee. We want to make sure that we speak with one voice and not all organizations that oppose the Patriot Act are expressing their opposition with our message. We want to bring our own environmental perspective to this debate. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Laptop Computer In 2002 the Sierra Club Board of Directors recognized "the urgent need to improve global and domestic security in a peaceful and just manner." The Club recommitted itself to being "a strong advocate for improving environmental security and for opposing initiatives that would weaken environmental safeguards, the rule of law, public notification, and public participation under the guise of improving security."

Desktop Computer In keeping with that commitment, the Club has opposed key provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 that would weaken public access to vital environmental information necessary to protect the public from environmental risks. The Club has joined with civil liberties and other environmental groups to support the Restoration of Freedom of Information Act of 2003 to restore the vital flow of information in a democratic society and to protect whistleblowers who are protecting the public safety and welfare.

Notebooks The Sierra Club also opposes attempts at the state and local levels to restrict access to vital environmental information and to outlaw environmental advocacy under the guise of combating terrorism. We urge all of our chapters to vigorously oppose such initiatives.

Lenovo The Sierra Club is alarmed by the steady erosion of civil liberties and human rights that has been accelerated by passage of the USA-Patriot Act and the further erosion embodied in the draft of Patriot Act II. While tightened security measures are necessary to prevent future terrorist attacks and to enhance global and homeland security, we believe the Bush Administration has moved too far toward creating a police state where the rights of innocent people are sacrificed. The Patriot Act grants unprecedented surveillance powers to the government, powers that could easily be abused, including misuse against environmental organizations. This has had a chilling effect on the right to dissent in a civil and non-violent manner. At the same time the Bush Administration has failed to adequately fund and lay plans for protecting vital and vulnerable infrastructure within the United States. We urge the Congress and the Administration to narrow, rather than broaden, federal authority embodied in the USA-Patriot Act so that law enforcement officials have the tools necessary to interdict, track down, intercept, and disarm terrorists without jeopardizing the civil liberties and freedoms embodied in the Bill of Rights.
