I agree that the Patriot Act is for the betterment and safety for the citizens of the United States of America. The reason why I'm in favor with the Patriot Act is due to the fact that it has played a key role and produced many successful operations in protecting us. Many may argue that the Patriot Act violates our right as citizens but I say we have many citizens that are walking amonst us with terroist intensions. If we didnt keep a close eye on every citizen, the same situation that happen with the under wear bomber would occur more frequently. So its important to watch all citizens with a close eye.

i agree. the government being able to collect data has stopped some of the attacks on the country and if they hadnt had that data they wouldnt have been able to protect us and we probolly end up dead. if they dont have something to hide why should they care if we collecting data. it not harming anyone but the terroists. if we want to keep our freedoms that we have we have to give the government the power to protect those rights.
