Subject: Urgent: Stop the Spying Sellout
NO NEW POWERS
Congress needs to hear from you right now -- before they grant the president
new spying powers.
Take Action Now Before Congress Sells Out Our Privacy and Hastily Rewrites Our
Spying Rules.
Dear Theresa,
We need you to take action right now -- before Congress sells out our
privacy.
President Bush is facing more resistance than he expected as he tries to undo
oversight for NSA spying. This morning, The Los Angeles Times exposed that the
Bush Administration's real motivation is a disagreement with the top-secret
FISA court that limits spying abuses. If Congress gives Bush what he wants,
those legal limits won't be in his way.
Take action right now -- before Congress sells out our privacy.
Thanks to your phone calls, Democratic leaders in Congress are re-evaluating
their stance on Bushs proposed overhaul of the spying rules. But the fight is
not over. We need you to keep calling.
President Bush wants Congress to give Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
exclusive power to decide who is reasonably believed to be outside the United
States and to force Internet and telecommunications companies in the United
States to comply with requests for data or access to emails and phone calls
without warrants and without court review. That low standard and lack of
accountability will undoubtedly sweep up the phone calls and emails of
Americans who are on the other end of the communication, putting our privacy at
risk.
Make no mistake, if Congress doesnt take a stand now, Bush will continue to
bulldoze over Congress and play on lawmakers timidity and political
calculation in the months ahead. No president should have powers to spy on
Americans emails or phone calls without individual warrants, period.
Take Action Now Before Congress Sells Out Our Privacy.
Democratic leaders in Congress now claim they wont put Gonzales in charge of
spying. And they also claim they wont agree to any compromise on NSA
surveillance unless the rules require warrants in some form to spy on
Americans, and some court review.
But details remain murky. There is still a very real danger Democrats will go
along with much of what the administration has been pushing for, putting our
telephone and email communications at risk.
We face extraordinary circumstances, so we are asking you to keep the
pressure on. Congress is set to vote on this today or tomorrow, before they go
home for recess.
Take Action Now Before Congress Sells Out Our Privacy.
Sincerely,
Caroline Fredrickson
Director
