REMEMBER as you're writing your essay to think about...
Why you agree or disagree with the statement you chose,
What rights people believe the Patrit Act has taken from us,

What you think the government should or should not be able to do,
What you think citizens should, or should not be allowed to do,
How Serious you believe the terrorist threat is...
