SLBORDC Releases Model Resolution

The St. Louis Bill of Rights Defense Committee announces the release of a Model Resolution concerning the USA PATRIOT Act, which it plans to present to the St. Louis Board of Aldermen for consideration and adoption. The Model Resolution reaffirms the city's commitment to the traditional American freedoms embodied in the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, and pledges to refrain from engaging in actions in violation of those rights and freedoms, whether requested to do so by federal authorities or otherwise.
