G's comment here reminded me that there are about a gazillion important civil liberty issues going on in the US right now.
Flag "desecration", restricted internet access, and violations of the most basic civil right at all - the right not to be hauled off and locked up without charges or access to counsel! - are all part of the creeping clampdown.
The ACLU is your best bet for one-stop shopping. While you're there, you can click on lots of easy action-alerts to send some outraged letters.

Check out the CCLA while you're at it to see what's up with civil liberty action in Canada.
I will do! Thank you, G.
This is a follow-up to your Then They Came For Me post a while back ... fits under civil liberties so I'll drop it in here. Similar tale as to the one told there, albeit this one with a happy ending.
Do read - it's from WaPo - and is an absolutely brilliantly written account of a town coming together for one of their own. A lesson for all of us lies within, that personal feelings on an issue always come second to the rights of another.
Coming Out For One Of Their Own
That looks great, G. I will definitely read it, maybe do a post myself. Another story to give us hope.
