Daniel,
They must think we're stupid.
The NSA's biggest cheerleaders in Congress are trying to trick the American people into supporting a bill that would legalize NSA mass surveillance! Dressed up in squishy PR language, the "FISA Improvements Act" looks like reform on the outside. But in reality, it's 'reform' lipstick on a pro-spying pig.
And it's designed to distract Congress from passing a real reform bill backed by all the NSA's most prominent critics: the USA Freedom Act -- which would ban the NSA's bulk data collection program!
Tell Congress: we won't be fooled by bogus reform -- pass the USA Freedom Act now!
The USA Freedom Act has 16 cosponsors in the Senate and over 70 in the House. It's supported by the ACLU and the companies responsible for protecting our data -- like Google, Facebook, Microsoft,and Apple.
We can pass it. But we need to make sure our lawmakers know we want legislation that actually reins in the NSA, not bogus reform written by the NSA's favorite Senators -- which amounts to a rubber stamp for the NSA to go on spying on Americans.
Tell your lawmaker to end NSA mass surveillance -- not legalize it!
Thank you,
