Unconstitutional - The War on Our Civil Liberties
by Robert Greenwald
1 hr 8 min 20 sec - May 28, 2006
Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties, is the third in a series
of Public Interest Pictures films that follows Unprecedented: The 2000
Presidential Election and Uncovered: The War on Iraq. True to their legacy,
Unconstitutional provides the facts and stories that illuminate
administration lies, wrongheaded policies, and the real victims of these
actions--the American people.
Here, you'll get the real story behind the USA PATRIOT Act and other
administration policies and the gut wrenching stories behind those
affected--from law-abiding store clerks to United States Olympians unable to
travel. It'll remind you of what America used to stand for and what it seems
we're falling for now. In short, this one-hour film will affirm why you're
angry and give you a tool to help others join your ranks

"We talk a great deal about patriotism. What do we mean by patriotism in the
context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of
national responsibility which will enable America to remain master of her
power-to walk with it in serenity and wisdom, with self-respect and the
respect to all mankind; a patriotism that puts country ahead of self; a
patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the
tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. The dedication of a
lifetime-these are words that are easy to utter, but this is a mighty
assignment. For it is often easier to fight for principles than to live up
to them." - Adlai Stevenson's 'Nature of Patriotism' Speech, 1952
