Patriot, Things are moving fast on the Deep State Surveillance bill which will reauthorize FISA Section 702. We are expecting the first vote on the House floor sometime tomorrow (Thursday) and a final vote potentially later tomorrow or Friday. The latest plan is to put H.R. 7320 on the floor with no Fourth Amendment protections for you and me and allow votes on amendments to improve it . . . or make it worse. We’ve seen enough. No amendments are going to make a fundamentally dangerous, anti-constitutional bill acceptable. No matter how much lipstick they might apply by amendment, this bill will still be a warthog. It’s urgent you call YOUR representative RIGHT NOW at (202) 224-3121 and demand they vote NO on H.R. 7320. Call them today; call them tomorrow; urge fellow patriots to call, call, call! Even if it’s after hours, call and leave a voicemail. Things are happening fast, so we will keep you posted as the situation develops. There’s more information in Heather’s email from yesterday (included below) but the bottom line is, call your representative and tell them to vote NO on HR. 7320! Thank you for taking action in this URGENT issue that will determine our freedom for years to come. For Liberty, John McCardell Executive Director Patriot, It’s being hashed out behind closed doors without any real debate. This can be very dangerous without a real privacy advocate at the table. And it’s why you and I cannot let up now! All reports indicate there will be a vote in the U.S. House this week, so the runway is short and the Deep State lobbyists are working overtime. The calls to Congress from you and other patriots are making a difference. And we need to keep the phones ringing in Washington, D.C. so our representatives know there is no compromise on the warrant requirement and a ban on the government purchasing our data.If you haven’t had a chance to call your representative, call
them now at 202-225-3121. If you’ve already called, call again and let them know there is word
of a compromise and that you won’t stand for it! Thank you for your efforts to restore
the Fourth Amendment and stop the government spying on innocent Americans. For liberty,

Because of the action of patriots like you, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) are backing down on their plan for a “secret session” of Congress to debate FISA Section 702 renewal! That doesn’t mean our battle is over. In fact, it’s time to double down and turn up the pressure! Johnson and Scalise are now pushing a new version of the House Intelligence Committee’s bill – given a new name, “Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act,” but it does nothing to rein in the spy state. In fact, this bill actually expands the government’s ability to spy on millions of Americans without ever getting a warrant. This reeks of the secret police forces from authoritarian and totalitarian states like the Stasi, the Gestapo, and the KGB. It completely ignores the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Right now, the Spy State is scared of losing their “crown jewel” because Congress is hearing loud and clear from Americans like you! The Surveillance State lobbyists are losing the battle, and this latest bill is merely a stunt and a last-ditch effort to fearmonger the holdouts into caving to the Deep State. Don’t let them get away with it! This is extremely urgent: Call your U.S. Representative now at 202-225-3121 and
demand they throw this “new” bill in the trashcan! INSIST they bring the Protect Liberty Act (H.R. 6570) to the floor without amendments or delay and dismantle the Surveillance State – as they promised they would. And if you haven’t already done so, send an e-postcard to your own representative demanding they oppose the Intelligence Committee bill and end the warrantless surveillance program. Unless you and I act NOW, this “new and improved” bill will allow the Section 702 program to operate much as it always has . . . without the need for a warrant to spy on Americans and will allow the FBI to police itself. Our conversations, texts, browsing history, emails, and the like will still be collected, filed away, and available to the FBI without a warrant and without probable cause that a crime has been committed. That’s why it’s so CRITICAL you call your U.S. Representative at 202-225-3121. INSIST they reject the “Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act” and bring the Protect Liberty Act (H.R. 6570) to the floor without amendments or delay and dismantle the Surveillance State – as they promised they would. And if you haven’t already done so, send an e-postcard to your own representative demanding they oppose the Intelligence Committee bill and end the warrantless surveillance program. Opposition to warrantless surveillance is a bipartisan issue, so send your message regardless of who represents you. I’ve even been asked by a staffer for a representative who is usually very friendly to liberty issues, “What is wrong with this new bill?” So no matter who your representative is, no matter what party they come from, no matter how good they are on issues, call them and tell them to reject the “Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act.” Patriot, your Campaign for Liberty has been fighting this latest Section 702 renewal HARD for over a year now and our resources are getting thin. This is when the rubber meets the road. So if you can, please support Campaign for Liberty with a contribution to help us keep their phones ringing and mobilize more patriots. For Liberty, John McCardell Executive Director P.S. Don’t be silent in the face of government spying. Call your U.S. Representative at 202-225-3121 now and insist they reject the “Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act” and advance and support ONLY H.R. 6570 and restore our constitutional Fourth Amendment protections!
