Session 1868 February 10, 2003 of Rights. David Kennell. 1332 Purdue Avenue, said that the provisions of the Patriot Act would not prevent terrorist attacks and could lead to more domestic terrorism. He claimed that information was not available to elected officials to keep them well informed. Mr. Kennel said that he considered approving the resolution a patriotic act. Rob Rosenwinkel, 7308 Amherst Avenue, held that the Act had been rushed through Congress during an atmosphere of fear; if citizens did not express opposition, their consent would be implied. George Lenard, 7232 Shaftesbury, opposed Council's adoption of any civil liberties resolution. He considered a resolution outside the sphere of city government. Mary Jo Maroney, 7355 Lindell Boulevard, implored Council to approve the resolution and that Council had an obligation to protect citizens. Barbara Chicherio, 720 Harvard Avenue, called for repeal of the Patriot Act because of its detention provisions and said she supported Mr. Lieberman's proposed resolution. Wilma Kennell, 1332 Purdue Avenue, asked if Council was able to answer the question she raised at the last meeting concerning the Library's compliance with requests to hand over computer usage records. Mr. Lieberman replied that it was against the law for a librarian to give out that information. She then expressed support for the resolution. Robert H. Wilcox, 6915 Amherst Avenue, recounted episodes in American history when legislators and the courts violated citizen's rights in the interest of national security. He said that he hoped that future historians would consider Council and the citizens of University City patriots. Tim Michels, 7038 Cornell Avenue, commended Council for considering the proposition and asked for the reinforcement of standards for civil liberties. He said that many of the provisions of the Patriot Act were extra-judicial and would never go before a judge. Benjamin Israel, 921 Shandel Drive, spoke in favor of a resolution against the Patriot Act. He held that local government was the first line of defense for citizens' rights and should help educate the uninformed. Arlene Sandier, of 6947 Columbia Avenue and a librarian, said she had considered readers' rights part of the code of professional ethics; she found the surveillance and expansion provisions of the Patriot's Act disturbing.
