DescriptionWASHINGTON -- Nevada conservative activist Janine Hansen is the first to say she is no Democrat or liberal, but she also complains the Bush administration has gone too far in eroding privacy and rights with the USA Patriot Act and other anti-terrorism measures.

Hansen, president of the anti-feminist Nevada Eagle Forum, backed up her complaint Thursday in Reno by being a featured speaker at a three-city announcement launching a campaign against the 2001 statute.
