It’s over (for now). A majority of senators caved to the fearmongering and bush league tactics of the administration and surveillance hawks in Congress, and they sold out Americans’ civil liberties. Section 702 has been reauthorized, not just without any meaningful reforms… 1/10

Today we're at the Eleventh Circuit for Shen v. Simpson, where our clients are suing to block Florida’s law that bans many Chinese immigrants from buying homes in large parts of the state.

This is unjustified and unconstitutional.

THANK YOU to the *thousands* of you who have made calls—WE NEED TO KEEP THEM COMING! Call 202-899-8938 to be connected to your Senators & urge them to vote “NO” on RISAA, which contains a “terrifying” provision (Ron Wyden) that will force U.S. businesses to act as NSA spies. 1/6

BREAKING: I just filed a bipartisan amendment to the FISA reauthorization bill to add a narrow warrant requirement.

The Senate must fix or reject a 'terrifying' bill that would create 'the largest expansion of government surveillance on U.S. soil since the Patriot Act,' @lizagoitein writes in The Hill. thehill.com/opinion/techno…

Your daily reminder to CALL YOUR SENATORS (call 202-899-8938 to be connected to them) and tell them you don't want U.S. businesses to be forced to spy for the NSA. There will likely be votes tomorrow and/or Friday, so it's critical to hit Senate offices with calls NOW.

The House is voting TODAY on a bill that would reauthorize Section 702, expanding the federal government's power to spy on us without a warrant.

Call your Representative at 202-899-8938 and tell them: Vote NO.

Anti-reformers not only are refusing common sense reforms to FISA, they’re pushing for a major expansion of warrantless spying on Americans. Their amendment would force your cable guy to be a government spy and assist in monitoring Americans’ communications without a warrant.
