	Homeland Security Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002, introduced in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, created the Department of Homeland Security in the largest government reorganization in 50 years, since the Department of Defense was created.
		Civil liberties imperiled by the Homeland Security Act include some constitutional rights, namely: the rights to freedom of speech, religion, assembly and privacy; the rights to counsel and due process; and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
		Concerns about curtailment of civil liberties by the HSA were given a heightened sense of urgency by media revelations in 2002, about another Bush administration initiative, which created a new Pentagon agency under the direction of John Poindexter, known as the Office of Total Information Awareness.

	EFF: Patriot ACT II Analysis
		With the full effect of the USA Patriot Act (USAPA) on civil liberties in the United States still unknown, and without a shred of evidence that USAPA was required to help fight terrorism, the Bush Administration has been preparing a second piece of legislation.
		Tentatively titled the "Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003," it was instantly dubbed Patriot II or Son of Patriot.
		The first Patriot Act assumes that lack of information caused by laws that restricted government information-gathering was a major reason for the September 11 terrorist attacks.

		"The Internal Security Act of 1950, somtimes called the McCarran Act or the anticommunist law, is one of the most controversial and least understood laws in the history of the republic.
		The Internal Security Act, popularly named for Nevada's Senator Pat McCarran, an aging hack who, in fact, commandeered the legislation from an earlier version by congressmen Karl Mundt and (of all people) Richard Nixon argued for the fingerprinting and registration of all "subversives" at large in the United States.
		As the SEP article reports, the act's passage by House and Senate was quite controversial.

	Domestic Security Enhancement Act Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This act, drafted under highly undemocratic conditions of secrecy, is an extension of the Patriot Act and infringes even further on the freedoms and rights our Constitution guarantees to citizens.
		While this proposed act does not bear directly on the elements the Veterans For Peace stated mission, it poses a grave threat to the integrity of the Constitution of the United States and flies in the face of cherished American ideals.
		The proposed Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, furthermore, carries implicit overtones of racism, of bias against the Islamic faith and of hidden agendas held by the powerful few.

	SOCIAL SECURITY TAX RELIEF ACT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Because Social Security benefits are financed with tax dollars, taxing these benefits is yet another incidence of `double taxation.' Furthermore, `taxing' benefits paid by the government is merely an accounting trick, a `shell game' which allows members of Congress to reduce benefits by subterfuge.
		This allows Congress to continue using the Social Security trust fund as a means of financing other government programs and mask the true size of the federal deficit.
		Speaker, the Social Security Tax Relief Act, combined with our action earlier this year to repeal the earnings limitation, goes a long way toward reducing the burden imposed by the Federal Government on senior citizens.

		Although Bush apparently did not seriously consider the Homeland Security Act (HSA) provisions until after the attacks, its provisions were, like those of the USA PATRIOT Act, in the works long before September 11.
		The Act, furthermore, promotes the creation of what one senator once called "a global security system" controlled by the United States, not to mention a budding police state in America.
		Lieberman sponsored S. 2452, an earlier version of the Homeland Security Act, which was absorbed into HR 5710, the final version that passed the House.

		The Act refers to such information as "a roadmap for terrorists." The result: you'll have to trust the Bush Environmental Protection Agency to disclose any corporate activities that pose a threat to you and your family.
		Since the 2001 "Patriot Act" redefined "terrorist activity" so broadly that minor vandalism could qualify, donating to a nonprofit organization that, unknown to you, is on Ashcroft's disfavored list could end your life as an American citizen and resident.
		The Act also would authorize the Justice Department to conduct secret searches of the home of any suspected terrorist for 15 days after any "national emergency," rather than after a formal declaration of war, as in current law.

	Cyber Security Act slips into Homeland Security legislation
		And included in the Department of Homeland Security legistation is a push to punish malicious computer hackers with life in prison.
		The Act seeks to allow Net surveillance to gather telephone numbers, IP addresses, and URLs or e-mail information without recourse to a court, where an "immediate threat to a national security interest" is suspected.
		The Act still has some way to go before it becomes law, but the Bushist propaganda will no doubt make it an act of patriotism in a time of insecurity to support the legislation.

	ACA \| Social Security Fairness Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Because the provisions are not widely known, the pension reductions they mandate come as a surprise when affected individuals apply for the benefits they had anticipated in their retirement planning.
		The "surprise effect" is reinforced because the Social Security Administration sends affected public employees the same benefit projection notices it sends to all other American workers, without even a footnote that hints their benefits may be reduced.
		The WEP was enacted in 1983 to prevent people with relatively high-compensated government service and relatively low-paying Social Security-covered employment from having their Social Security benefits determined under the more favorable formula used for retirees with the lowest Social Security earnings.
