Protect your privacy by opposing FAA

From Campaign For Liberty:

According to the latest reports, the Senate is expected to vote as early as tonight to reauthorize the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (FAA) for 5 years.

The statists hide behind this legislation to supposedly "justify" warrantless wiretapping of American citizens communicating with those overseas, among other things.

Despite the best efforts of liberty-minded activists and even some members of Congress, no one outside of a select few know for sure how many innocent Americans have had their privacy violated or which of their overseas communications are being monitored (it could be all) due to the FAA's sweeping permissions.

And as is usually the case with these kinds of bills, instead of holding an honest debate on the legislation's effects - as is promised when these bills are first passed - the politicians do their best to ram through the reauthorization votes without any challenge.

But a few senators, including Rand Paul, are refusing to let the FAA pass without a fight.

Senator Paul has introduced an amendment that is also set to be voted on tonight.

His amendment would make it clear that Americans' communications are protected from all unwarranted searches and seizures - no matter who wants the information.

You and I must give these statists exactly what they fear the most - a bruising fight in defense of our fundamental rights.

It is up to us to drag their unconstitutional schemes into the light of day and mobilize more opposition against their plans.

So please, take just a moment today to fight for your liberties by contacting your senators and urging them to take the following actions: 1. Publicly stand in defense of the Constitution by voting for the Rand Paul amendment to the FAA.

2. Make another statement for liberty by voting against final passage of the FAA and halting this statist scheme entirely.

3. Go even further by doing everything in their power to find out how many innocent Americans have been affected by the kind of security state power grabs protected by the FISA Amendments Act.

If you're not sure of your senators' contact information, you can find it here.

Time is running out, so please take action right away.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President
