Patriot,
The House Rules Committee - which decides which bills go to the
floor and when - has pulled BOTH bills on warrantless
surveillance from the House calendar I've been telling you about.
Last night, several Republicans on the committee objected to
Speaker Mike Johnson's scheme to allow the two competing bills
onto the floor for a "Queen of the Hill" gamble that could have
ended with the passage of Patriot Act 2.0 and an EIGHT YEAR
extension of Section 702 of FISA.
H.R. 6570 would rein in the Surveillance State, while H.R. 6611
would greatly expand the Surveillance State's power to
unconstitutionally spy on you, with no meaningful reforms. H.R.
6611 would actually expand the class of businesses and other
entities required to assist in the government's mass surveillance
of you and me.
The committee's refusal to cooperate with Johnson's scheme is a
great sign your pressure is working, and we need to keep it up!
This has become an epic David and Goliath battle, and it's
critical you and I build up our forces and DOUBLE DOWN.
Although the Rules Committee pulled both bills, make no mistake
this was a major blow to the Surveillance State's preferred bill.
This means there will be an all-out campaign to get some dirty
deal worked out to get the Surveillance State bill through at the
very last minute. The statists aren't ready to roll over on this
and will surely pull out even more dirty tricks.
It is absolutely critical you contact your U.S. Representative at
(202) 224-3121 ONCE AGAIN.
Tell your Representative to support H.R. 6570, the Protect
Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act, and oppose H.R.
6611, which would renew and even expand unconstitutional
surveillance under Section 702 of FISA with NO real reform.
If you don't have time to leave a message by phone, you can send
an e-postcard to your representative right now as well.

And if you have a minute, call House Speaker Mike Johnson at
(202) 225-4000 also and tell him to put forward H.R. 6570 and
send H.R. 6611 to the dustbin of history.
Right now, everything on our privacy under Section 702 is on the
line.
It's Campaign for Liberty, and a small number of like-minded
civil liberties groups, competing against well-funded,
well-connected Washington Swamp Creatures.
But we're actually winning because Congress knows how informed
and angry the American people are.
We just need to sustain the pressure.
We need EVERY AMERICAN PATRIOT to:
1. Click here to send an e-postcard directive to your U.S.
Representative if you haven't already done so.

2. Call your Representative at (202) 224-3121 and tell him or her
to vote YES on H.R. 6570 and NO on H.R. 6611, even if you already
have.
3. If at all possible, make an EMERGENCY contribution to Campaign
for Liberty to help us mobilize more patriots THIS WEEK.

Time is very short, but with your support, we can reach even more
people and generate even more calls, emails, and e-postcards to
Congress before it's too late.
Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Your continued action is making a difference, but you and I
can't back down now!
Last night, several Republicans on the House Rules Committee
objected to Speaker Mike Johnson's scheme to allow both H.R. 6570
and H.R. 6611 onto the floor for a "Queen of the Hill" gamble
that could have ended with the passage of Patriot Act 2.0 and an
EIGHT YEAR extension of Section 702 of FISA.
H.R. 6570 would rein in the Surveillance State, while H.R. 6611
would greatly expand the Surveillance State's power to
unconstitutionally spy on you, with no meaningful reforms.
Please send an e-postcard and call your Representative at (202)
224-3121, even if you already have, and tell him or her to vote
NO, NO, NO on H.R. 6611, the Surveillance State Spying bill, and
vote YES on H.R. 6570 to bring meaningful reforms to Section 702
of FISA.
