***URGENT UPDATE***

Fellow Patriot,

Yesterday, C4L President Norm Singleton
emailed you about renewal of the so-called "USA Freedom Act" and
amendments to SHAM FISA reform bill H.R. 6172 (in case you missed
it, I've included it below).

Well Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-KY) just introduced his own amendments. . .

And they would explicitly permit the FBI to
warrantlessly collect records on Americans' web browsing and
search histories!

McConnell's amendments would be a devastating
blow to your privacy and liberty if adopted -- a stark contrast
the Wyden-Daines Amendment and the Paul Amendment Norm wrote you
about yesterday.

This fight is moving fast, and today you MUST
know about -- and take action on -- these amendments at once!

In fact, inside sources tell me the Senate
will likely start voting on amendments to H.R. 6172 tomorrow but
votes could begin this afternoon.

So please call your Senators immediately and
DEMAND they oppose the McConnell amendments authorizing
warrantless collection of internet search history&hellip;

And to support that Wyden-Daines amendment
and the Paul amendment.

CALL YOUR Senators
202-224-3121

It's critical liberty-loving Americans keep
the pressure on to get real surveillance reforms and stop the
Deep State's permanant expansion of spying powers on American
citizens -- powers they've PROVEN they'll abuse!

I know from my time on Capitol Hill, right
now Deep State lackeys in congressional leadership are twisting
arms all over Congress to RAM through reauthorization of the Deep
State's domestic spying powers and McConnell's Deep State Spying
Sham amendments giving them your internet history anytime they
want.

You and I MUST bring the heat.

So please call your Senators and tell them to
vote for the Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments and vote against
final passage of H.R. 6172.
And DEMAND they vote against McConnell's sham
amendments!

Please call your Senators IMMEDIATELY by
dialing 202-224-3121 . . . or if you're reading this on your
phone, CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE'S CALLING FEATURE
and act even faster!

But I hope you won't stop there.

Fellow Patriot, the truth is, the best odds
for you and me to halt America's slide into authoritarianism come
from generating as much action as possible from an expanding
number of liberty-loving patriots like you.

So, I'm asking you personally -- please share
this message with everyone you think will help. . .

. . . Ask them to call their senators
immediately as well.

Then, please consider making your most
generous financial contribution of $50 to help Campaign for
Liberty mobilize more patriots to defend our freedoms and stop
spying abuses!

Please act at once.











Dear Patriot,

The U.S. Senate could begin consideration of
H.R. 6172, legislation reauthorizing three of the most dangerous
provisions of the USA Freedom Act (previously known as the USA
Patriot Act) as early as tomorrow.

One part of the law up for renewal is Section
215. Often referred to as the "Deep State's Crown Jewel," Section
215 is the provision of law federal agencies claim gives them the
authority to conduct the mass surveillance and bulk data
collection programs revealed by Edward Snowden in 2013.

With the Senate likely to start debate on the
bill and amendments sometime after 3 p.m. ET and start voting as
early as tomorrow, we do not have a moment to lose.

So please call your senators now and tell
them to vote NO on H.R. 6172, the legislation reauthorizing the
expiring provisions of the so-called USA Freedom Act.

There are several amendments being offered
which will make the bill better even if it passes against our
objections, so tell your senators to vote YES on both the
Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments to H.R. 6172.

Please call your Senators IMMEDIATELY by
dialing 202-224-3121 . . . or if you're reading this on your
phone, CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE'S CALLING FEATURE
and act even faster!

If you can only leave a voicemail, do that,
and then call back later to talk to a staff member.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Senator Steve
Daines (R-MT) are offering an amendment which would require
federal agents to obtain a warrant before collecting Americans'
Internet browsing and search history.

Internet browsing history can reveal personal
information about an individual . . . information the government
has no right to know unless they have probable cause to believe
that information is relevant to a criminal investigation. The
Wyden-Daines Amendment would require the government to present
probable cause to a court prior to getting access to your
Internet browsing history.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has an amendment
that would forbid the use of the FISA court to obtain permission
to spy on any American citizens. Instead, federal agencies would
have to go before a federal court and obtain a warrant.

Since its creation in 1978, the FISA court
has served as little more than a rubber-stamp for federal agents
seeking a way around the Constitution's requirement that they
obtain a warrant before spying on American citizens.

Recent revelations about how FISA's
procedures were mismanaged during the investigation of former
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn shocked even snoop state
supporters like Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC).

So, no senator has any excuse to vote to
allow the FISA court to continue to be used to get around the
Fourth Amendment!

The Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments are good
steps toward rolling-back the surveillance state. However, even
if these amendments pass, H.R. 6172 still gives snoop state
bureaucrats power to "monitor" our online activity and our
personal and professional activities.

For instance, the bill reauthorizes roving
wiretaps, where a warrant is issued to collect information on any
device a suspect may use - even information of other users of the
device.

So, if you are at a hotel with someone under
surveillance and you both use the hotel's business center
computer, your online activities will be collected by the federal
government, and you may even be a target of government
surveillance. Just being on the same wireless network as a
suspect at the hotel could result in your data being captured by
the government.

There's also the "lone wolf" provision that
allows federal agents to conduct warrantless surveillance on an
American citizen even though they have no known or suspected ties
to any terrorist organizations!

So please call your senators now and tell
them to vote YES for the Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments, and NO
on final passage of H.R. 6172, regardless of whether the
amendments pass or not.

CALL YOUR Senators
202-224-3121

Make sure you forward this message to your
family and friends so they can contact their senators and tell
them to oppose H.R. 6172.

In the almost 20 years since the original USA
Patriot Act become law, warrantless wiretapping and mass
surveillance have not stopped a single terrorist attack.

What they have done is allow federal
officials to collect data on their ex-wives, husband, lovers, and
"significant others." This practice was so common it was even
given a nickname by agents: LOVEINT.

It is also good for targeting proclaimed
enemies of the Deep State, like General Michael Flynn.

If they would be so brazen as to target
government officials as part of a plot to remove a sitting
president, what is to keep then from targeting anyone who
challenges their power?

Simply posting something on social media in
defiance of the accepted "wisdom" of the Deep State could land
you in the same position as General Michael Flynn, Patriot.

Passing the Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments
and then defeating H.R. 6172 would force Deep State apologists
like Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Lindsey Graham, and Adam
Schiff to end their love affair with the surveillance state, and
it would bind the federal surveillance state with the chains of
the Constitution.

So please call your senators and tell them to
vote for the Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments and vote against
final passage of H.R. 6172.

Please call your Senators IMMEDIATELY by
dialing 202-224-3121 . . . or if you're reading this on your
phone, CLICK HERE TO LAUNCH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE'S CALLING FEATURE
and act even faster!

And please chip-in $100, $75, $50, $25 or
whatever you can afford to help Campaign for Liberty fight
against the surveillance state.
Votes may start as soon as tomorrow so call
now!

In Liberty,

Norm Singleton

P.S. Call your senators now and tell them to
vote NO on H.R. 6172. It's time for our government to follow the
Constitution and stop ignoring the law! Tell them to vote YES on
the Wyden-Daines and Paul Amendments and NO on H.R. 6172.

###

And DEMAND they vote against McConnell's sham
amendments that give the Deep State your internet history anytime
they want!
