Just So You Know Citizen
"It's been just over a month since the NSA's dragnet surveillance
program was leaked to the public. Tomorrow, Congress is voting on an
amendment that would block funding for NSA programs that collect the
call records of innocent Americans. A win tomorrow may start a chain
reaction — but it won't happen unless we speak up. We have one day to convince Congress to act."
The EFF is urging U.S. citizens to call their representatives, noting that there is no time for email to be effective (find your representative). You can read the amendment
on the EFF site, quoting the EFF: "Reps. Justin Amash, John Conyers,
Jr., Thomas Massie, Mick Mulvaney, and Jared Polis are proposing an
amendment that would curtail funding for the implementation of orders
under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act unless the order is explicitly
limited in scope. ... Even as the Amash/Conyers Amendment is gaining
momentum, some are rallying around a decoy amendment
that would do nothing to rein in domestic surveillance. That amendment,
championed by Rep. Nugent, would not alter in any way the government's
use of Section 215 to obtain bulk communications records on millions of
Americans. EFF is urging Representatives to oppose the Nugent
Amendment."
