Your constitutional rights are at stake. A federal surveillance program, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), was designed by Congress to authorize surveillance of foreign threats abroad but is now widely used by our government to spy on Americans’ communications without a warrant.
However, the Fourth Amendment states:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Demand that your Congressional representatives hold government agencies accountable and support the Government Surveillance Reform Act (GSRA) before it’s too late. Use this link to search for your representative and contact info OR fill out the form below and PPSA will send your message on your behalf.
You may use the following language (just copy and paste) in your letter to your representatives:
Dear [U.S. Senators and Representative]:
I am fed up with the FBI and other federal agencies acquiring my private, personal communications under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Congress designed this authority to catch foreign terrorists and spies. It is now routinely used by the government to snoop into our private lives without a warrant.
I am also deeply disturbed that federal agencies purchase my most sensitive and personal information scraped from my apps and sold by data brokers. All this information about me – where I go, who I communicate with, what I say, where I worship or celebrate with friends – makes me an open book to the government.
I demand that reform – real, deep, and lasting – be the price of reauthorization of Section 702. Renewal of this authority must require the FBI and other federal agencies to get probable cause warrants, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution, before they can get their hands on my communications, including those sold to the government by data brokers.
This also includes your support for the Government Surveillance Reform Act (GSRA).
