[Vision2020] Fwd: [Trustthepeople-Seattle] PBS Bill Moyers: Extend Patriot Act

[Ted Moffett]

All:

I posted this message under a different subject heading I did not write, but 
thought it might be ignored due to the "hysterical" tone of the subject 
heading, so I am reposting here with a more direct calm subject heading.

Below is the same as earlier post from Trustthepeople-Seattle.

Subject heading forwarded as I received it.

Message below from Trustthepeople-Seattle about Bill Moyers show on
PBS etc.
