Patriot,
We warned you yesterday that after losing yesterday's vote, House
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) would scramble to push a vote on
renewing the warrantless mass surveillance program under FISA
through quickly.
Yesterday was a small victory, but the battle is far from over.
The latest reports from insiders are that virtually the same bill
that failed yesterday will be brought back today. The only
significant change we are aware of right now is that it will
reauthorize Section 702 for two years instead of five. It will
also be voted on separately from other legislation so Democrats
can feel comfortable voting for it.
It will still expand the use of FISA.
And it doesn't include the necessity of a warrant to spy on an
American citizen in the text of the bill. The need for a warrant
(which should be covered by the Fourth Amendment), will instead
be offered as a separate amendment to the bill.
As Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) wrote earlier this week, "This week,
the House will vote to require the Feds to get a warrant to snoop
on Americans. Sadly this vote is likely to fail."
This is why you and I need to keep the pressure on our
representatives and tell them to end the warrantless spying of
innocent Americans.
Don't forget - renewal of FISA Section 702 without safeguards for
Americans faces BIPARTISAN opposition.
That's why it's critical you call your representative again
today.
Call (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your U.S.
Representative. Tell him or her to OPPOSE renewing FISA Section
702 without the full restoration of Americans' Fourth Amendment
rights.
DEMAND a warrant requirement based on probable cause before the
Spy State can search your data!
And House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) is
undoubtedly threatening his colleagues for "undermining national
security" for confronting the Deep State and their abuses of
power.
It's absolutely critical we keep making our voices heard.
The American people deserve transparency, but the Spy State is
more interested in ramming a renewal of unconstitutional mass
surveillance through Congress.
The Deep State has broken the trust of the American people for
far too long. It's time to DEMAND their abuses of power be reined
in.
And to make things worse, the Spy State apologists in Congress
are even including a carve out in the bills they've been
introducing which put members of Congress in an elite class that
gets different treatment than you and me.
Call (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your U.S.
Representative. Then, leave a simple message:
This is [your name] from [your city]. I'm calling to tell the
Representative to vote NO on any bill that reauthorizes
warrantless mass surveillance on American citizens under Section
702 of FISA. The U.S. Constitution demands a warrant based on
probable cause of a crime. The government has abused the trust of
the American people for too long. If the warrant amendment does
not pass, then the Section 702 reauthorization must not pass
either.
If you cannot make a phone call, please at least click here to
send him or her a postcard.

P.S. We won the skirmish yesterday, but the battle is not over -
it's intensifying.
Your continued action is making a difference, but you and I can't
back down now.
You and I have been fighting the Surveillance State for 15 years
at Campaign for Liberty, from the PATRIOT Act to Section 702 and
many other schemes in between. Opposition to the Surveillance
State is building, and this is our moment to shut them down.
So please call your representative immediately . . . and then, if
you can, support Campaign for Liberty's fight to stop the
Surveillance State today!
