several good reasons:  it expands governmental wire-tapping authority 
and their powers to prosecute or harass anyone involved in 'terrorist' 
outfits (militias?  cults?  the NRA? ...).  Basically a thinly veiled 
excuse for yet another expansion of federal power.

the bill was born in the aftermath of oklahoma city, and continues to 
ride on the ludicrous promise of 'ensuring that this sort of tragedy 
will never happen again, etc'.  Short of banning rental vehicles and 
fertilizer, this is an entirely impossible proposition.

tell your congressman that our time and resources are much better spent 
addressing the causes of the hatred for the federal government, which 
stem from the very sorts of policies that this bill contains.
