The days of unfettered spying on the American people are numbered... - Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) ALERT: A coalition of lawmakers introduce bill to end NSAs broad, warrantless surveillance! Fax Congress - Tell them sponsor the USA FREEDOM Act! American Conservative, If it werent for Nancy Pelosis pro-snooping lobbying efforts, the House wouldve succeeded in placing the National Security Agency in a straightjacket back in July. Sadly, lawmakers like Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein are more interested in defending the NSA and their unconstitutional surveillance programs than they are our privacy. The good news is the scales are starting to tip. Since the summer effort to rein in the NSA failed on a razor-thin line - 217 to 205 - more and more legislators on both sides of the aisle are seeing that we desperately need to restrain the federal government and its ability to spy on anyone using the internet or a cell phone literally anywhere in the world. This week Representatives Justin Amash, John Conyers, and Jim Sensenbrenner introduced a comprehensive bill that would start to shackle the overgrown NSA and restrict them from spying on innocent Americans. It is essential that we urge every U.S. Representative and Senator to get behind this piece of legislation right now - the Fourth Amendment restrictions on government must be applied to the digital world!

Add your name here. Reforming FISA and the Patriot Act On Tuesday, Patriot Act author Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner introduced new legislation to limit the National Security Agencys sweeping surveillance powers. The USA FREEDOM Act - or, Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-Collection and Online Monitoring Act - aims to defend Americans privacy by reforming the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Patriot Act. The NSA has gone far beyond the intent of the Patriot Act, particularly in the accumulation and storage of metadata, the Acts sponsor told National Journal. Had Congress known that the Patriot Act has been used to collect metadata, the bill would have never been passed. The 118-page bill would: •modify section 215 of the Patriot Act to end mass unwarranted surveillance; •require the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to provide lawmakers with court opinions and policies, thereby ending secret laws; •allow internet and telecommunications companies to make public the number of NSA requests they have received; •establish an office for a privacy advocate to represent the interests of Americans and their privacy before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court; and •close domestic and foreign loopholes by modifying Title IV and section 702 (b) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. With the NSAs misinterpretation (abuse) of law - providing them allowance to spy on anyone anywhere - it is clear that the USA FREEDOM Act is essential to start ending governments ugly, unconstitutional surveillance programs. We need to rally lawmakers right away and demand that they get behind this needed legislation in defense of our privacy. Privacy for the people; Transparency for government!

Add your name here. End the Witch Hunt Dianne Feinstein has defended the NSA tooth-and-nail - even claiming that the intelligence agencys expansive surveillance is not surveillance. Feinstein, Pelosi, et. al. are dedicated to defending Obamas Surveillance State and are doing their very best to once again shut their opposition down. But we cant let them succeed -- weve got to win this fight for liberty, privacy, and the rule of law. We cant let this happen. Weve got to win this fight for liberty, privacy, and the rule of law. Judge Andrew Napolitano has it right; he says: What will become of us if the feds can watch our every move and hear our every conversation and learn our every expenditure and read our every email and find out what we eat and whom we love and how we live? ... History teaches that a government on a witch hunt, unconstrained by law or Constitution, will not stop until it can brand someone as a witch. And an unbridled inquisition will not stop until it finds a heretic. The Constitution simply never entrusted the people who run the government with this awesome power. Rather, in the Fourth Amendment, it prohibited it. With the federal government regularly surveilling our phone metadata, emails, and other forms of digital communication, its time for U.S. lawmakers to stand up, defend our privacy, and end the NSAs unconstitutional spying. Since whistleblower Ed Snowden first revealed the magnitude of the federal governments spying programs, the catalogue of evidence proving the governments lawless activities has only grown. This is why weve got to take action now. Its time for We the People to demand the NSAs lawbreaking be put to an end!
