Do you think the USA Patriot Act should be allowed to expire, or should it be extended?
Asked at Haskell Indian Nations University on September 11, 2004
“I think it needs to be extended until the world is a safer place, without the threat of terrorism.”
— Wendi Georgie, homemaker, Lawrence
“It should be allowed to sunset. I don't see any reason for it not to, because we haven't really found out any important information because of it.”
— Clayton Kellerman, Baker University freshman, Baldwin
“I definitely think that it needs to be extended. It's really just a safety issue. It was put in place for a reason.”
— Matt Baty, Kansas University senior, Lawrence
“I think it needs to be extended. I think there is a lot of provisions in there that people may consider an invasion of privacy, but they are necessary to gather effective intelligence.”
— Mark Galyardt, technology sales, Atlanta
