REFORM THE PATRIOT ACT Join me in asking Congress to stop excessive government spying! ACLU ACTION 5FEB10

Votes on re-authorizing key parts of the Patriot Act will happen in Congress any day now. And, once again, fear-mongering and scare tactics are being used to block genuine Patriot Act reforms.
This time, opponents of reform are seizing on the attempted Christmas Day airplane bombing to insist that we don’t need to bring the Patriot Act in line with the Constitution. Some are even calling for “toughening up” the Patriot Act with still more freedom-stealing provisions.
You and I have to make sure Congress knows that Americans want Patriot Act reform and that we’re totally fed up with these scare tactics that don’t make us any safer.
Tell your representatives in Congress to vote for reform and stand up to fear-mongering.
I just wrote to my Senators and Representative urging them to rein in government surveillance and use the upcoming expiration date as an opportunity to make crucial changes to the PATRIOT Act. Click on the header to participate in this ACLU action.
