Patriot,

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is scrambling to RAM a budget
deal through the House, and he's bending over backwards to
accommodate DEMOCRATS with their pork-barrel spending
(practically funding their campaigns!) to do it.

"When we're winning, why would we worry about [the Republicans]
flailing? Now we're able to get this across the finish line
largely intact, with very little damage, given we're not in
charge. That's like a double win, so I'm happy."
-Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), former Progressive Caucus leader

As soon as this spending debacle is done, Congress is taking
another vacation (their third since Christmas vacation). . .

And then the next "emergency" will be staring at them: renewal of
the unconstitutional mass surveillance program, Section 702 of
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Johnson says he will have a standalone vote on renewing it when
they come back from their Easter Break. He has not said which
bill he plans to have a vote on.

But based on Mike Johnson's past behavior - including tacking a
short-term extension to the spying program to the National
Defense Authorization Act last December in violation of the
House's own rules - it's reasonable to conclude he plans a vote
to renew and possibly even expand the warrantless surveillance
program. . .

That is, unless with your help, I can deliver a massive stack of
signed petitions to him before they adjourn for Easter break.

According to media reports, Johnson said his "current" plan is to
proceed with the weak bill he put forth in February - H.R. 7320.

But that bill offers NO protections for Americans from
unconstitutional spying . . . unless it is amended on the House
floor.

Speaker Johnson needs to know putting any bill on the floor to
renew Section 702 with no real changes is unacceptable.

Fortunately, we know your messages make a difference. Remember,
just a month ago, Johnson was talking about stuffing a Section
702 extension in the "must-pass" budget bill - but then he backed
off right after we hand-delivered stacks upon stacks upon stacks
of your petitions to Republican leadership.

That's why it's so critical you contact Speaker Johnson again and
DEMAND he put forward the House Judiciary Committee's meaningful
bill to END warrantless mass surveillance!

After you sign your directive to Speaker Johnson, I hope you'll
go one step farther: support C4L with a contribution, so we can
continue to inform, mobilize, and deliver your directives to
lawmakers.

But even if you cannot make a donation today, please know we
always deliver every signed petition, whether or not you
contribute afterward.

Every voice counts, including yours.

I hope you'll make certain Mike Johnson hears from you by signing
your directive.

P.S. The U.S. "intelligence" community, and especially the FBI
and NSA, illegally rummaged through millions upon millions of
phone calls, emails, and text messages of innocent Americans
without a warrant.

The "intelligence" community has admitted to looking up dating
prospects, political enemies, and grassroots activists.

You and I have known this for years despite the lies of former
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director
Christopher Wray, and dozens and dozens of other "intelligence"
officials.

They always claim they are fixing things internally, but the
abuses continue.

So you and I must put an end to it now!

We must DEMAND our lawmakers restore our constitutional privacy
protections and STOP the 702 abuses before it gets renewed or
even expanded.

That's why I'm counting on you to please sign your STOP THE
SURVEILLANCE STATE directive to House Speaker Mike Johnson
immediately, before they recess for another two weeks.
