I am not afraid. Are you?

I believe that the most obvious way to fight terrorism is to refuse to be terrorized. The erosion of our civil liberties in the name of an eternal War on Terror is reprehensible, cowardly, and un-American.

If the U.S. is not actually a nation of cowards, it is certainly being misrepresented as such by our government.

I just sent this to my Congressional representatives. You can too.

I am not afraid of terrorism, and I want you to stop being afraid on my behalf. Please start scaling back the official government war on terror. Please replace it with a smaller, more focused anti-terrorist police effort in keeping with the rule of law. Please stop overreacting. I understand that it will not be possible to stop all terrorist acts. I am not afraid.
