But some say the fusion centers are going too far in whom they identify as potential threats to American security.

People who supported former third-party presidential candidates like Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr are cited in the report, in addition to anti-abortion activists and conspiracy theorists who believe the United States, Mexico and Canada will someday form a North American Union.

"Militia members most commonly associate with 3rd party political groups," the report reads. "It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional Party, Campaign for Liberty or Libertarian material."

Other potential signals of militia involvement, according to the report, are possession of the Gagsden "Don't Tread on Me" flag or the widely available anti-income tax film "America: Freedom to Fascism."

Barr, the 2008 Libertarian Party presidential nominee, told FOXNews.com that he's taking steps to get his name removed from the report, which he said could actually "dilute the effectiveness" of law enforcement agencies.

"It can subject people to unwarranted and inappropriate monitoring by the government," he said. "If I were the governor of Missouri, I'd be concerned that law enforcement agencies are wasting their time and effort on such nonsense."

Barr said his office has received "several dozen" complaints related to the report.

Mary Starrett, communications director for the Constitution Party, said Baldwin, the party's 2008 presidential candidate, was "outraged" that his name was included in the report.

"We were so astounded by it we couldn't believe it was real," Starrett told FOXNews.com. "It's painting such a large number of people with a broad brush in a dangerous light."

Michael German, national security policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said the report "crosses the line" and shows a disregard for civil liberties.

"It seems to implicate people who are engaging in First Amendment protected activities and suggest that something as innocuous as supporting a political candidate for office would mean that you're harboring some ill-intent," German told FOXNews.com. "It's completely inappropriate."

German, who claims the number of fusion centers nationwide is closer to 70, said the centers present several troubling concerns, including their excessive secrecy, ambiguous lines of authority, the use of data mining and military participation.

"No two are alike," German said. "And these things are expanding rapidly."

But MIAC officials defended their report, saying it's not a basis for officers to take enforcement action.

How did that McCain/Palin deal work out for you? It's so sad that people vote based on popularity rather than there voting record and principle.

But you are free to have your own opinions.

@TrueConservative123 after reading as few of your comments I've come to the conclusion your just here to be an ass.

Regarding chemtrails, the evidence is mounting worldwide. If you investigate just a little, you will find that the symptoms for many of the diseases that are suddenly rampant in the world are exactly the symptoms for heavy metal poisoning. You will also find that metals are what is being found in rainwater all over the world where the chemtrails are being sprayed. Before you dismiss it, just check it out. If it's nothing, you'll know. If it is something, you'll learn. Peace.

It's like you want to wake up but you're afraid? I don't know what it is but if you think that any politician will be elected and act any different than the previous ones, you're just not paying attention. It's all about secret oaths and secret societies. If you want to see what happens when a person in power decides to actually change something, check out EVIDENCE OF REVISION on yt. There is no denying the truth when the evidence is so clear.
