Orlando Sentinel finally printing my letter
This was for their Friday Forum, talking about the Patriot Act:

Liberty or death
The Founding Fathers established this nation on the concept of civil liberties. Ben Franklin pointed out that one cannot trade liberties for security, because in the end he will have neither. This is precisely what the Patriot Act does - it undermines the very liberties that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson fought so hard to achieve. I for one do not wish to give the government even more power over my life. Supposedly terrorists hate this country because of our freedoms. Sacrificing more liberty does nothing but bring us closer to what the terrorists want.
