An amendment is being voted on in the House of Representatives today or tomorrow. If passed, it would close critical backdoors that allow the NSA to surveil the Internet. What's happening: The NSA collects emails, browsing and chat history under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, and searches this information without a warrant for the communications of Americans—a practice known as "backdoor searches." The fix: The amendment would block the NSA from using any of its funding from the Defense Appropriations Bill to conduct such warrantless searches. What's happening: The NSA has been requesting that private companies and organizations add backdoors to the encryption standards that are meant to keep you safe on the web. The fix: The amendment would stop the NSA from using its budget to mandate or request such backdoors.* If you understand what the backdoors above mean for the future of freedom and privacy, its your responsibility to pick up the phone and call. The amendment being offered by Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Rep. Thomas Massie is due to be voted on either today (June 18th) or tomorrow. Now is the time call and be counted. Very few Americans, despite having a country with millions of us, ever call their legislators. 100+ phone calls per office in Congress would blow people's minds. We receive that little contact from people despite each office representing 100,000s+ citizens. This is because so many people drink the kool-aid that they have no power or that money controls everything. This is untrue. What happens is money wins when people never complain (to their legislators!). - An ex-congressional employee (link) Poster Comment: This Link takes you to the website this article originated from. There is a link provided that will place the call to your reps office for you, you receive a quick call, are connected to your reps office, you read a short script and that's it.Shut the NSA's Backdoor to the Internet

If we can get NSA in line, we would all be a lot better off. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Was that one of the easiest ways ever to connect with your rep? It says "two minutes" but I bet it only took half that to deliver the message.

Cool, that was easy....
