Bill of Rights Defense Committee's National Call-In Day

May 16, 2006 - News

Last December President Bush acknowledged that he had authorized the National Security Agency to spy on Americans' communications shortly after 9/11. Bush claimed he has authority to conduct massive warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens and said he would continue to do so. In fact, his actions violate the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which was passed specifically to establish a process for obtaining warrants for secret surveillance, and Fourth Amendment prohibitions against warrantless search and seizure. Now it is likely that Congress will pass legislation to legalize the NSA's spying, without ever conducting an investigation into what the agency is actually doing.

We ask you to take a few minutes on May 17th, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee's national call-in day, to phone your senators and representatives to let them know you want an investigation of what is going on, not legislation that will nullify FISA and push the Fourth Amendment even further into irrelevance.
