The New York City Council approved a resolution Wednesday condemning the USA Patriot Act. The three largest cities in the country, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, have now all condemned the law that was quickly passed after the Sept. 11 attacks. According to the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, a total of three states and 246 municipalities and counties have passed similar resolutions. Glenn Devitt, an organizer with the Committee said “So much is being done in the name of New York, we are saying don’t use our name to infringe on people’s rights.”
