Tell the Senate: Say NO to Big Brother & Stop the online spying bills

[Nick Allen]

Subject: Tell the Senate: Stop the online spying bills.

Dear Friend,

We need to speak out to stop the Senate from greatly expanding the
power of the federal government and big corporations to spy on us as
we use the Internet.

The House has already passed "Cyber Intelligence Sharing and
Protection Act" (CISPA), a horrible bill that shreds our online civil
liberties.

Supporters of CISPA cynically used the legitimate need to protect our
vital national interests from cyber attacks as an excuse to give the
government and private companies the authority to read, watch and
listen to everything we do on the Internet.

Now the fight moves to the Senate, where several CISPA-like bills are
under consideration.

I just signed a petition telling the Senate to stop the online spying
bills. I hope you do, too.

You can find out more information and sign the petition at the link below.

Among other things, CISPA would give the NSA -- the spying agency
controlled by the Department of Defense -- additional power to snoop on
our texts, our emails, our web history and everything else we do online.

It would also make it easier for the government to get information about
us and what we do online from private companies without a court order.

The folks behind CISPA claim that national security interests make this
surveillance necessary. But the bill's language is so vague and
overreaching that it opens the door for rampant abuse of our online
rights.

Various CISPA-like bills are under consideration in the Senate. While they
differ from CISPA and each other in various ways, they all could
potentially sacrifice our online civil liberties in the name of national
security.

We need to send a clear message to everyone in the Senate that we won't
stand for that.

Senators who are with us need to know their constituents support them. And
senators who aren't with us need to be put on notice that their
constituents don't want them to sell us out.
