Patriot, Last week, lawmakers introduced a bipartisan “Government Surveillance Reform Act,” which would reauthorize Section 702 of FISA, the mass surveillance program that was abused literally millions of times to spy on Americans, for four more years. While the bill is being sold as containing “stronger protections for the privacy of law-abiding Americans,” this story sounds familiar. . . How many times have we heard that something will be done “for our safety” only to find out all the privacy protections were circumvented or ignored altogether? And when the bill’s proponents say the bill gives the government “the ability to act quickly in emergencies and settle up with the court later,” you know something is very wrong. After all, just who gets to decide what an "emergency" is? According to the bill, Attorney General Merrick Garland would make that decision today. The Surveillance State goons must be snickering right now. Tell your lawmakers we don’t need more watered-down phony reforms: just let Section 702 expire! Remember, this is only the “opening bid” on Section 702. There are members of Congress who want to renew it with no reforms whatsoever. . . and if the bill is taken up, it will likely be watered down even further as it makes its way through each chamber. That’s why it’s critical you tell your lawmakers NO COMPROMISE, NO BOGUS “REFORM”: END Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act! They don’t even need to pass a law. They only need to do what they do best . . . DO NOTHING and let Section 702 expire! Keep contacting your lawmakers and keep up the pressure. And if you can, please also make a contribution of $100, $50, $25, $10, or whatever you can afford to help us inform and mobilize more patriots against the abuses of the Surveillance State.
