Friends-
The Internet wins again! The advocates for the cyber-security bill failed
to get enough support to proceed to a final vote on the legislation. They
won't be reading your email and sharing your personal data -- anytime soon,
at least.
Will you thank the senators who stood with us to protect privacy and
Internet freedom? We'll need their help again soon:

You guys were amazing throughout this fight: Demand Progress members sent
500,000 emails to the Senate and made thousands of phone calls in
opposition to the bill. Countless other activists took up this fight too --
groups like the ACLU, EFF, Center for Democracy and Technology, Fight for
the Future, and Free Press.
Just as important was the coalition of senators working on the inside to
stand up for our rights. There's a newly empowered corps of senators who've
made it clear that they'll stand strong when the government threatens our
privacy -- people like Ron Wyden (OR), Al Franken (MN), and Bernie Sanders
(VT). Please click here to make sure they know that we're grateful, and
that we'll stand with them too -- we'll have to fight this battle again
sometime soon.
