Lincoln City, Nebraska Becomes 350th Community to Pass Resolution Calling for Patriot Act Reforms


After five hours of testimony and debate last night, the city council here passed a resolution calling for reform of the Patriot Act, the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska announced today. The ACLU credited the work of dozens of people who committed time and energy to the single goal of getting the "Defense of Liberty" resolution passed, as well as the testimony of former Republican Congressman Bob Barr.

"When the ACLU brought people together for the first discussions on this project, we did not envision that it would be such a wide-ranging effort," said ACLU of Nebraska Executive Director Tim Butz. "The coalition that emerged from those first meetings spent over a year talking to civic groups, neighborhood associations, churches and classes in an effort to educate on the Patriot Act."
