The Loyal Nine is a non-politically affiliated organization whose sole purpose is the defense of the Bill of Rights and human freedom. The organization is currently known for its campaign against legislation like the USA PATRIOT Act, Real ID Act, DSEA 2003 and the VICTORY Act.

Origins:
While the original founding date of The Loyal Nine is unknown historians believe the organization started for the purposes of protesting the Stamp Act. The organization would later be credited with creating the foundation for the Revolutionary War.

By many accounts The Loyal Nine was the militant and radical inner circle of the Sons of Liberty. Its members were mostly made up of artisans and shopkeepers. Famous members of The Loyal Nine include Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin.

Just 45 days after the September 11 attacks, with virtually no debate, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act. Many parts of this sweeping legislation take away checks on law enforcement and threaten the very rights and freedoms that we are struggling to protect. For example, without a warrant and without probable cause, the FBI now has the power to access your most private medical records, your library records, and your student records... and can prevent anyone from telling you it was done.
