The Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances ( PRCB ) coalition is a group that includes, The American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU ), the American Conservative Union ( ACU ), Americans for Tax Reform and the Free Congress Foundation and among several groups wanting to gut the reauthorization of the Patriot Act.

"We don't want this argument to be obscured by those who would suggest that anyone who is for more and more government power is somehow on the side of the right, and those who are against it or are skeptical of such grants are on the side of the wrong," said David Keene of the American Conservative Union. "This is an important question of all Americans on the left, the right or in the middle."

The coalition is demanding the Congress to expire the "prosecutors' Patriot Act ability to easily obtain records in terrorism-related cases from businesses and other entities, including libraries; the provision that allows "sneak and peek" searches conducted without a property owner's or resident's knowledge and with warrants delivered afterward; and what they called an overbroad definition of "terrorists" that could include non-terrorism suspects."
