Dear Fellow Patriot,
Campaign for Liberty staff has faxed
thousands of your Stop the Surveillance State petitions to
Capitol Hill.

If you signed a petition or postcard, THANK
YOU.

But we need to do more, and we need to act
fast.

I'll fill you in below, but first, please
call your representative and senators at 202-224-3121 and tell
them to oppose any legislation reauthorizing the USA FREEDOM Act.

Sources told us the Deep Staters in Congress
were going to include reauthorization in the funding bill for the
Coronavirus, but the pressure from patriots like you is causing
Congress to rethink that backdoor plan.

Today, President Donald Trump is coming to
Capitol Hill to discuss renewing the misnamed USA FREEDOM Act -
and the possibility of using it as a vehicle to reform the secret
FISA Court - with senators and representatives on both sides of
the issue.

Meanwhile, following last week's "indefinite
postponement" of the House Judiciary Committee's consideration of
legislation reauthorizing USA FREEDOM, House Majority Leader
Steny Hoyer and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy are drafting
a USA FREEDOM reauthorization bill. . .

If history is any guide, the Hoyer-McCarthy
bill will likely contain some minor "reforms" that, upon close
inspection, do little or nothing to rein in the surveillance
state.

For example, Hoyer says the bill will end the
collection of "metadata" information that allows the snoop state
to identify who you are calling and learn much more about your
personal and professional life. . .

But Hoyer and McCarthy are likely to follow
Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff's lead in ending the
metadata program but giving the surveillance state other ways of
obtaining our phone calls, texts, tweets, and social media posts.
. .

. . . as long as the government "promptly"
destroys the records.

President Trump's Capitol Hill visit,
combined with Hoyer and McCarthy's efforts to draft new
legislation, means that USA FREEDOM reauthorization legislation
could be put on a fast-track to passage within a matter of days.

So please call your
senators and your representative NOW at 202-224-3121 and tell
them to oppose any legislation reauthorizing the USA Freedom Act.

And make sure to share this with as many
pro-liberty friends and family as possible.

It has been almost 20 years since Congress
passed the USA PATRIOT Act.

At the time, we were told we needed to give
federal snoops virtually unchecked power to conduct mass
surveillance and warrantless wiretapping "for our own safety."

But these powers have not stopped a single
terrorist attack!

What they have done is allow the government
to invade our privacy and led to a series of abuses. . .

. . . like LOVEINT, the name given to the
common practice of National Security Agency (NSA) employees
spying on former spouses and significant others.

Surveillance authorities have even recorded
confidential communications between attorneys and their clients,
undermining one of the pillars of the western legal system.

It is time for Congress
to stop forcing Americans to give up real liberty for imagined
security.
So please call your senators and
representative at 202-224-3121 and tell them to oppose any
legislation renewing the expiring provisions of the USA FREEDOM
Act.
The report detailing how the FBI abused its
power - with the blessing of the FISA Court - to investigate
Trump campaign official Carter Page made even staunch defenders
of FISA admit this secret court and the surveillance bureaucracy
needs to be reined in.

But President Trump has made contradictory
statements on this issue and, without pressure from grassroots
liberty activists, born-again FISA opponents like Senator Lindsey
Graham (R-SC) may join Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jerrold Nadler
(D-NY) in supporting a RINO (Reform in Name Only) bill.

This would mean missing another opportunity
to start rolling back the surveillance state!

Only legislation that truly limits
unconstitutional surveillance and warrantless wiretapping is
welcome as a step toward restoring our lost liberties.

However, the fact is our rights will not be
fully protected until the USA FREEDOM Act is repealed and the
FISA Court is forced to abide by the same constitutional
standards requiring federal agents show probable cause before
obtaining permission to gather evidence against U.S. citizens.

So please call your representative and
senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to oppose any
reauthorization of the USA Freedom Act.

In Liberty,

Norm Singleton
