"The Control Act" -- Thomas Jefferson once said,”When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty”. Many people like myself, fear our government which is why we accept whatever is put forth by them even if it seems wrong. What people don’t understand is that government fears us and is why they find ways to control and strip us of our rights. This is meant for you to think that you are unable to do anything and just keep living your daily life as they want you to. I say it’s time for people to stand up and fight for what is right and gain back power over our government to free ourselves from tyranny. That is why I chose to do a motion graphics piece about the Patriot Act which is the head of all control mechanisms in the United States. My intention is to spread knowledge to those that don’t understand what the Patriot Act is and explain how it corresponds to your private life. Once EVERYONE gains knowledge of the Patriot Act and gets involved to put an end to it, you will see change. Till then, don’t’ count on one person to bring you change, because it’s not going to happen.
