Alright, for my AP Government Class, I need to do a powerpoint on why the Patriot Act should be repealed. I've read the Patriot Act, know what it entails, etc. However, how should I organize it? What should I do?

Any suggestions to break my writers block?

I don't see why not.

Basically, the assignment was to create a bill, or repeal one, and present it to the class. They will in turn pretend to be Senators and vote on whether or not to pass the bill and make it law (Or repeal said law/Act)

Tell the teacher that if they don't give you an A for this assignment you'll report them to the Dept. Of Homeland Security for subversive behavior.

It's easier this way.

Then do what I said... and try to mention that we were fighting king GEORGE's policies and omit any use of Washington's first name.

Read the little-known clause in the Constitution where it calls itself the "Supreme Law of the Land". That should get a laugh or two.

Rhaomi, thank you. After reading this, it was exactly what I was looking for.
