Bill of Rights Defense Committee

So this organization is doing a lot of good work. One thing they do is create model ordinances that folks can make specific to their locality -- like we're trying to do this summer. Here's what they say about the variety of ordinances they provide:

"BORDC has developed two model ordinances for consideration by city councils across the country. These ordinances, which will have the force of law where enacted, allow individual municipalities to do what the federal government will not: protect the fundamental rights and liberties of law-abiding Americans to be free of arbitrary monitoring, surveillance, detention, search, or arrest by local law enforcement authorities; and bring to justice senior government officials complicit in torture."


Here's their website -- http://www.bordc.org/
