Bill of Rights Defense Council http://www.bordc.org/

Following the example of 18 other cities, towns, and counties in the United States, North Star Borough Bill of Rights Defense Council held their first meeting at the Noel Wien Library in Fairbanks Sunday 6, 2002. Monday the members testified at the Fairbanks City Council urging the council to pass a resolution to Repeal the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act. They will also testify at the Borough Assembly requesting the same thing.

By unanimous vote of members of Alaskans for Peace and Justice 11/26/02, Anchorage is now officially listed as a one of the progressive communities pursuing a resolution protecting Anchorage against the Patriot Act at .

Talk to your friends, talk to your community, talk to the people of Northampton, MA who worked with city officials to obtain the City Council's UNANIMOUS approval of a strongly worded Resolution in defense of the Bill of Rights ( this page at http://www.bordc.org/Northampton_res.htm)

Start a Bill of Rights Defense Committee in your own town or city, and try and pass similar legislation where you live. The more places that fight back against the "Patriot" Act, the weaker it becomes."

Tools at this site include an outline of the steps we took and downloadable documents we adopted that can help you streamline a similar effort in your city or town.

Please keep us informed of your progress in this effort. United We Stand.
