FISA Amendments Act Would Allow Internet Spying Against YOU. Say NO Today!
Let’s reduce this message down to its basic form: The FISA Amendments Act would allow the government and telecommunications companies like AT&T to cooperate in order to use the Internet and cell phone networks to spy against you.
Imagine the corporations and the government alike reading through your emails, without any chance for you to stop them. What might they find to use against you or your family?
Imagine the corporations and the government listening in on your telephone calls, recording every word into a giant computer database. The equipment is set up and operational.
Imagine the corporations and the government following every move that you make as you go around the Internet, whether you use passwords to protect your privacy or not.
Imagine this all taking place without any search warrant, without any judicial review, and without any meaningful congressional oversight. That’s what’s going on, and the Senate is on the verge of making it legal by passing the FISA Amendments Act.
They’re going to do it today.
CALL NOW!!! The number of the congressional switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
If you don’t want American freedom to be tossed onto the junkpile of history, tell your senators you want three things.
1. Vote against cloture on the FISA Amendments Act. If the debate continues, the Senate cannot pass this rotten legislation.
2. Support Senator Dodd’s filibuster if cloture passes.
3. Vote against the FISA Amendments Act if the filibuster fails.
You can find your senators’ names at the Progressive Patriots Senate Scorecard.
Please, don’t wait. Just five minutes of your time is all that this vital defense of liberty will take. Tell your senators to show some backbone, and to defend the Constitution they have sworn to uphold.
