How to create a forum to discuss surveillance and the NSA

March 30, 2006 - News

In December 2005, the New York Times-after holding the story for more than a year-revealed that starting in October 2001, President Bush had ordered the National Security Administration to conduct warrantless searches and seizures of telephone and internet communications of American citizens inside the United States.

Since then, the administration has provided shifting and unconvincingrationalizations for the president's authority to order such searches.

The issues are complex and should be discussed by students, professors, activists, and anyone else who wants to get involved. To help you getstarted, PrivacyActivism has put together an "NSA toolkit" that includes resourcesfor understanding the legal, constitutional and governmental implications of Bush's surveillance and suggestions for how to become active in opposing it.
