Preserving the Constitution

Preserve our rights. Protect our freedom. That was the message at a rally Monday at the capitol.

In honor of Constitution Day, members of the group STOMP, Stop Taking Our Money and Property, organized a rally to raise awareness about the many ways they say the government has violated our constitutional rights.

Those include eminent domain and the patriot act, which allows the government to seize personal records without proof of probable cause.

Monday's rally was just one of several demonstrations the group has held on this issue.

A couple of years ago, congress passed what's known as the Real ID Act, which would link all sorts of personal information to a single form of ID.

At least 16 states have already passed some form of resolution against it, and Pennsylvania may do the same through House Bill 13-51.
