The Senate's (NOT the House's) version of the USA Freedom Act is a good start

ACTION ITEM

Sen. Leahy reintroduced the USA FREEDOM Act on July 29.

This new version is a much better bill than what passed the House. That bill was so bad, those who originally co-sponsored it, voted against it. Security-state fetishists who originally opposed it, loved the water-down changes and voted for it.

But we cannot get the Leahy bill across the finish line without a lot of help. Please tell Congress to support it using DownsizeDC.org's Obey the Constitution campaign.

You may borrow from or copy this letter...

Obeying the Constitution means respecting the Fourth Amendment. That’s why you should pass pass THE SENATE's version of the USA FREEDOM Act (S. 2685) WITHOUT compromises. The Leahy bill...

* prohibits "bulk" collection of our private data

* allows private companies to tell the public about demands to hand over their customer data

* creates Special Advocates for privacy and civil liberties before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC)

* requires FISC decisions to be published

This bill is the BARE MINIMUM of what you should do. You must also...

* Eliminate loopholes and vague language in this and other reform bills

* Support the Surveillance State Repeal Act (HR 2818), which repeals the Patriot Act and most of the FISA Amendments Act

* Repeal and defund any other privacy-busting laws or programs

NOBODY consented to living in an Orwellian world. Obey your oath and REPRESENT US!

...or make way to someone who will.

--END OF LETTER--

NOBODY consented to living in an Orwellian world.

As I recall Americans have continually requested greater government snooping power during the last 100 years starting with WWI and the Sedition and Espionage Acts, the gun control act of 1934 (I think it was) and some red scare legislation during the 1950s plus the gun control act of 1968. Later things backed off a bit with Frank Church in the mid-1970s but Reagan quickly put all that back with Government Continuity programs. We put bows on it by permitting even asking for congress to protect us from another 9/11, ergo the Patriot Acts and the NDAA/Military Commissions executive orders.

Americas actually said "we want 1984."
