If you don't so something NOW, don't complain later when you realize how badly you've been f*cked, okay? Just call and say "I'm against it". That's all you have to do. For the last two months, constituents' phone calls and letters have helped hold back dangerous legislation related to the [a href="vny!://www.eff.org/Privacy/Surveillance/NSA/fisabills/"]NSA spying program[/a]. But in the last week before the pre-election recess, the White House and several
Congressional leaders are trying to sneak these bills through and effect the single greatest expansion of government surveillance ever. [a href="vny!://action.eff.org/fisa"]Take action now to stop the illegal surveillance, before it's too late.[/a]

[table border="0" width="100%"][tbody][tr][td colspan="2"][div style="margin-bottom: 0.8em;"] [h2]URGENT: Tell Your Senators to Stop the Surveillance Bills![/h2] The EFF and the ACLU have scored key victories in obtaining judicial review of the NSA's domestic wiretapping program. In EFF's case in California, the government's motion to dismiss on the grounds of state secrecy was thrown out by the judge. Also rejecting the government's secrecy arguments, the judge in the ACLU's case in Detroit issued an order demanding an immediate halt to the program. [/p] But now several new bills are threatening to put an end to this vigorous judicial oversight and the let the government off the hook for breaking the law. Without exaggeration, these bills represent the greatest expansion of government surveillance power ever considered by Congress. Please call your Senator now and urge them to oppose these dangerous surveillance bills.

[table class="ContainerBox" 1="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing=""] [/table] [/td] [/tr] [tr] [td colspan="2"] Keep your call to your member of Congress short and polite. Whether or not he or she agrees with you, what is important is that the staffer knows you are a constituent, and that you want your Senator to oppose bills S.2453, S. 3931, S.2455, H.R.5825, and S.3929.
Here's a sample call, with suggested points to make:[/p] "Hello, I'm a constituent, and I want to urge my Senator to oppose and use all possible means to stop S.2453, S.3931, S.2455, and H.R.5825 if it reaches the Senate. My senator should also stop any bill that incorporates these proposals, including S.3929. I am opposed to the NSA's wiretapping of Americans' phone calls and emails without search warrants, and I want this program's legality to be judged in our traditional court system."
