Call Your Congressman Now

URGENT: Call your Senator NOW to stop surveillance bill.

Senator Arlen Specter is rushing his Surveillance Bill through the Senate, hoping to get ahead of the outraged calls and emails from voters across the country who want to stop the never-ending expansion of Federal domestic surveillance powers over law-abiding citizens. Call your Senator right now and make sure that s/he knows that you don't want your government listening in on your phone-calls and reading your email -- it may be too late tomorrow.
EFF: DeepLinks: "Because of phone calls and letters from constituents like you, Senator Arlen Specter is feeling the heat. Having previously delayed a vote on his dangerous surveillance bill, he is now intent on moving it out of committee on Thursday. This sham 'compromise' bill will help the government continue to break the law, vastly expanding the president's power to spy on you without any meaningful oversight from Congress or the courts. If you haven't already called and your Senator is on the Judiciary Committee, please use our Action Center and call your Senator immediately to stop this dangerous bill."
