PPSA Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act
Our digital devices can tell everything about us – who we visit, what we like and believe, who we befriend, where we go, our medical concerns and other personal information.
 
The government is required by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to obtain a warrant before it can seize our personal information. But the government has found a workaround to the Constitution – it can spy on us by simply buying our personal information from shady data brokers.
 
The Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act is bipartisan legislation that would close this loophole. Rep. Jerry Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is to be commended for introducing this vital legislation in the House of Representatives. This legislation would prevent data brokers from selling our personal information to law enforcement and intelligence agencies without authorization by a court.
 
But now that legislation is getting lost in the crush of other business.
 
TAKE ACTION NOW & TELL REP. NADLER: “Thank you for supporting The Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act. Now please take the next step and hold hearings so it can move forward and become law.”

    ​YOUR MESSAGE

    SUBJECT: 

    Take The Next Step & Hold Hearings for The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act Now

    ​As your constituent, I want to thank you for supporting The Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act. Now please take the next step and hold hearings so it can move forward and become law ASAP.

    As you may already be aware, our 
    government is required by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to obtain a warrant before it can seize our personal information. However, it has come to my attention that our government has found a workaround to the Constitution – it can spy on us by simply buying our personal information from shady data brokers. This is unacceptable. 
     
    I've become aware of the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act, which is a bipartisan legislation that would close this loophole. It would prevent data brokers from selling our personal information to law enforcement and intelligence agencies without authorization by a court.

    I ask you to protect my Fourth Amendment rights and to close this loophole immediately. Please take the next step now and hold the hearings. 

    Sincerely,

    [First Name] [Last Name]
