.:PRESS RELEASE:.

SAVE the Bill of (Your) Rights!

"The Office of the Community Lawyer in Winsted, CT, is organizing a roadshow
about the attack on your civil liberties. SAVE the Bill of (Your) Rights!
is designed to not only educate about on the USA Patriot Act, the Homeland
Security Act, and other executive initiatives, but also to build a citizens'
movement to bring everyone up to speed..."

"This summer, the project will entail several town meetings across the state
of Connecticut. Forums have already been scheduled in Winsted, Torrington,
Washington, Middletown and elsewhere. At each citizen gathering, speakers,
such as Teresa Younger, Executive Director of the CCLU, will engage the
audience regarding concerns raised by the USA Patriot Act and other
executive initiatives that trample our civil liberties. These local
meetings will culminate in a meeting which will feature a panel of prominent
figures to be held in the Hartford area."

Residents are invited to attend and to engage in lively debate.
Each event will be open to the public and will be wheelchair accessible.
