5. Our loss of civil liberties is one of the greatest challenges

we face right now. I consider it to be equal in importance and not disconnected with the corporatism overtaking democracy.

If my Democratic Senator, Mark Begich, votes in favor of any legislation containing reauthorization of USA Patriot, it will be the deciding factor in my vote to de-authorize Mark Begich when he next runs for re-election. I don't care how much pork he brings home otherwise.

I add that last bit because I'm sure, as with his support for the lousy Senate HCR bill, he'll be touting how many jobs and programs for Alaska the legislation support generates.

USA Patriot is a jobs program for Nazis.
