Are you living in a Constitution Free Zone?
Using data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACLU has determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.

The government is assuming extraordinary powers to stop and search individuals within this zone. This is not just about the border: This " Constitution-Free Zone" includes most of the nation's largest metropolitan areas.

The Occupy Wall Street movement has started a BIG BIG BIG contest between the people and entrenched power. Arm yourself with knowledge.

6. Both my places
(Michigan and New Hampshire) are entirely within Constitution-Free zones.


And what the hell is it with people unrec-ing posts like this? Does someone here hate the bill of rights? Jeeeez.

5. There is no such thing as a Constitution-free zone.
(I know, I know. But I refuse to recognize it. Just as I refuse to admit to the legitimacy of the Patriot Act, the TSA, the illegal invasions and occupation of sovereign nations).
