THE advisory panel has spoken, and much to the dismay of Pres Obama and the nsa and others they have recommended restrictions on our government's policies on spying and surveillance on Americans in this country and world wide.

and I hope you will sign the petition to Pres Obama telling him to support the USA Freedom Act

Tell President Obama: Support the USA Freedom Act The White House just released a series of recommendations for the NSA’s surveillance programs.1 The report is a positive step in the push to end the mass surveillance of millions of people. But on their own these recommendations would do nothing to stop the NSA’s invasive programs. And some suggestions — like the notion that companies like AT&T and Verizon, rather than the NSA, should retain bottomless troves of our personal data — could prove even more harmful to our rights to connect and communicate in private. The president needs to support the recommendations that would stop mass surveillance. And his next step should be to support the USA Freedom Act. Tell President Obama to Stand Up for the USA Freedom Act This week’s report echoes what we’re hearing from the courts and Congress. Just this week, a federal court ruled that collecting “metadata” on millions of peoples’ phone calls is likely unconstitutional.1 This is the program that the bipartisan USA Freedom Act — which more and more members of Congress are in favor of — would end. Urge President Obama to Support the USA Freedom Act Obama once said that “there is no reason we cannot fight terrorism while maintaining our civil liberties.” We agree. That’s why the president should heed the panel’s recommendations — and get behind the USA Freedom Act. Thanks, Josh, Jen, Misty, Amy and the rest of the Free Press Action Fund team P.S.
