ACLU On Frontline Tonight

By Amanda Simon, ACLU

The ACLU Washington Legislative Office's own Mike German will be appearing in tonight's Frontline report Are We Safer? talking about the expansion of domestic surveillance since 9/11and its impact on your civil liberties.

Topics will include spying on protesters, suspicious activity reporting and those pesky fusion centers.

Tune in to your local PBS tonight and be sure to check back at the Blog of Rights to keep tabs on the ACLU's work to stop unwarranted surveillance.

UPDATE: Watch our video about Virginia Cody, an anti-drilling activist targeted for domestic spying by the Pennsylvania Department of Homeland Security. Then TAKE ACTION to oppose reauthorization of parts of the PATRIOT Act that allow domestic spying.
