DEMAND THAT INTRUSION OF PRIVACY BE STOPPED! NSA IS SPYING ON AMERICANS AT OBAMA'S BIDDING!

ALERT: District Judge declares sweeping NSA surveillance unconstitutional! Take Action! Tell Congress to REIN IN the NSA and co-sponsor the USA FREEDOM Act! American Conservative, On Tuesday, a federal judge said that the National Security Agency's widespread, unwarranted surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution! U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon said that the federal agency's actions are incompatible with the Fourth Amendment's ban on unreasonable government searches and seizures. In his 68-page opinion, Judge Leon wrote: "I cannot imagine a more 'indiscriminate' and 'arbitrary invasion' than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of querying it and analyzing it without judicial approval. ... "Surely, [the NSA] program infringes on 'that degree of privacy' that the Founders enshrined in the Fourth Amendment. Indeed, I have little doubt that the author of our Constitution, James Madison, who cautioned us to beware 'the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power' would be aghast." Armed with this court opinion, we must force our elected servants into action -- we cannot afford to wait for the Supreme Court to make a ruling. The NSA's unconstitutional surveillance activities have got to be stopped now! Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) is sponsoring legislation to reform the National Security Agency and limit the agency's sweeping surveillance power. We need to demand every lawmaker to join this effort.

Reforming FISA and the Patriot Act The USA FREEDOM Act aims to defend Americans' privacy by reforming the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Patriot Act. "We have to make a balance between security and civil liberties," says Sensenbrenner. "And the reason the intelligence community has gotten itself into such trouble is they apparently do not see why civil liberties have got to be protected." Sensenbrenner told the National Journal: "The NSA has gone far beyond the intent of the Patriot Act, particularly in the accumulation and storage of metadata. Had Congress known that the Patriot Act has been used to collect metadata, the bill would have never been passed." Take Action - Tell lawmakers to REIN IN the NSA and co-sponsor the USA FREEDOM Act!

The 118-page bill would: modify section 215 of the Patriot Act to end mass unwarranted surveillance; require the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to provide lawmakers with court opinions and policies, thereby ending "secret" laws; allow internet and telecommunications companies to make public the number of NSA requests they have received; establish an office for a "privacy advocate" to represent the interests of Americans and their privacy before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court; and close domestic and foreign loopholes by modifying Title IV and section 702 (b) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. With the NSA's misinterpretation (abuse) of law - providing them "allowance" to spy on anyone anywhere - it is clear that the USA FREEDOM Act is essential to start ending government's ugly, unconstitutional surveillance programs. We need to rally lawmakers right away and demand that they get behind this needed legislation in defense of our privacy.

What does the individual privacy mean to you? Our founders considered it an essential part of a free society; that's why they ratified the Fourth Amendment to specifically prohibit the federal government from intruding into our "persons, houses, papers, and effects." The NSA's surveillance of all of our emails, phone calls, and online activity is in total violation of what our founders went through pains to put into place. Judge Andrew Napolitano offers a warning against the government's "witch hunt"; he says: "What will become of us if the feds can watch our every move and hear our every conversation and learn our every expenditure and read our every email and find out what we eat and whom we love and how we live? ... History teaches that a government on a witch hunt, unconstrained by law or Constitution, will not stop until it can brand someone as a witch. And an unbridled inquisition will not stop until it finds a heretic. The Constitution simply never entrusted the people who run the government with this awesome power. Rather, in the Fourth Amendment, it prohibited it." With the federal government regularly surveilling our phone metadata, emails, and other forms of digital communication without probably cause, it's time for U.S. lawmakers to stand up, defend our privacy, and end the NSA's unconstitutional spying. The good news is, since the Amash-Conyers effort to restrain the NSA failed on a razor-thin line in July - 217 to 205 - more legislators on both sides of the aisle are seeing that we desperately need to rein in the federal government and its ability to spy on anyone using the internet or a cell phone literally anywhere in the world. This is why we need to keep the momentum up and demand our elected officials co-sponsor the USA FREEDOM Act and oppose Sen. Feinstein's FISA Improvement Act.
