SANDERS PRESS CONFERENCE ON PATRIOT ACT TO AIR ON CSPAN2

We are pleased to announce that a press conference Bernie held on Wednesday, March 9th, to reintroduce the "Freedom to Read Protection Act" will be aired in its entirety on CSPAN2's Book TV at noon tomorrow, Saturday, March 12th. Bernie was joined at the press conference by Members of Congress as well as representatives from the American Library Association, American Booksellers Association, PEN American Center, and American Association of Publishers.

The "Freedom to Read Protection Act" would exempt libraries and booksellers from provisions of the USA Patriot Act that allow the federal government to access library or bookstore records without having to get a traditional search warrant.

Please tune in to CSPAN2 tomorrow at noon, or visit Bernie's website at http://bernie.house.gov/civil_liberties/index.asp, to learn more about this important effort to restore Americans' constitutionally protected rights.
