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