Description: "You Have No Rights contains more than eighty accounts about ordinary people across the country whose rights have been violated as a result of ramped-up national security policies. Included in these pages are the waiter whom the Secret Service refused to let work at a Bush fund-raiser because his name was Mohamad; the teacher in Vermont whose classroom was raided after midnight by a police officer because students had made prowar and antiwar posters; and the antiwar veterans in Tallahassee who weren't allowed to march in their Veterans' Day parade." "These and the other stories in this book will surprise and enrage you. They show just how un-free - and un-American - the country has become."--Jacket.
