Dear Patriot,
Earlier today, the Senate began consideration
of amendments to H.R. 6172 -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) and
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) phony "reforms"
of the USA FREEDOM Act (previously known as the USA Patriot Act).
McConnell planned to hold votes today on two
competing amendments.
His own -- which would explicitly grant the
FBI power to seize your Internet search and browsing history. And
the Wyden-Daines Amendment -- a good step toward rolling-back
the surveillance state, it would require the government to
present probable cause to a court prior to getting access to your
Internet browsing history.
Neither was adopted, but more votes are
coming tomorrow and the next 24 hours will be crucial.
For today, the silver lining is, thanks to
liberty-loving patriots like you, Senator McConnell backed off
his amendment (at least for now).
Even better, the fact that the Wyden-Daines
Amendment came within just ONE vote of McConnell's 60-vote
threshold for passage of the amendment, means you and I could see
real reforms if we turn up the heat.
This is an opportunity to land some real
blows (maybe even a deathblow) on the Deep State's blatantly
unconstitutional warrantless domestic surveillance programs.
But we have to keep the heat pouring in over
your Senators' phone lines!
You see, tomorrow the Senate will vote on an
amendment offered by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), 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.
CALL YOUR Senators

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!
Like the Wyden-Daines Amendment, the Paul
Amendment offers a good step toward rolling-back the surveillance
state. However, even if adopted, 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 IMMEDIATELY by
dialing 202-224-3121.

Make sure you forward this message to your
family and friends so they can contact their senators and tell
them to SUPPORT the Paul Amendment and OPPOSE H.R. 6172.
In the almost 20 years since the original USA
Patriot Act became 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 Paul Amendment 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 Paul Amendment and vote against final passage of
H.R. 6172.

against the surveillance state.
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 Paul Amendment and NO on H.R. 6172.
