A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

PFAW Member,
Amid the pandemic, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is focused on
anything BUT providing relief from the coronavirus. Just this past week he
held hearings on confirming MORE of Trump’s extreme and unqualified
judicial nominees and now this coming week, McConnell is hoping to ram
through a reauthorization of the Patriot Act.
While McConnell has three amendments to give the Trump administration even
more power to spy on Americans without a warrant, privacy advocates have
three amendments of their own to STOP them.
With our civil liberties and our democracy hanging in the balance, your
Senators need to hear from you, right now!

power, and vote for crucial amendments to protect our civil liberties! >>
Congress was expected to vote on the Patriot Act back in March, before the
nation was forced to adhere to stay-at-home orders in response to the
coronavirus outbreak. But Trump and McConnell faced a huge roadblock:
activists like you and many members of Congress. Thanks to the public
outcry, McConnell failed to muster the votes needed to extend the Trump
administration’s spying powers. But they’re determined to push it through
now, while everyone is rightly focused on fighting the coronavirus.
There’s only one shot at this. Advocates in Congress are putting together
three crucial reform amendments that would curb the administration’s abuse
of power, but with so little time left before this important vote, your
senators need to hear that you expect them to support the amendments that
will stop the Trump administration from abusing his powers.

Thanks for all that you do,
