Romero Executive Director, ACLU ************************************ Dear Paul, In less than two weeks, we will deliver our petition to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding they protect and defend the Constitution, starting with immediate fixes to the outrageous FISA legislation that made warrantless NSA spying on Americans legal. To send the strongest possible message to Congress, we=20 need 100,000 signatures by September 17, when we deliver=20 the petition. We're more than half-way there, but we need=20 your help.=20 Please sign the petition and tell Congress: Don't Fail Freedom: http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=3DwbjURB8avofo1509cAj-Xg.. When Congress passed a bill allowing for massive, untargeted collection of international communications -- without court order or meaningful oversight by either Congress or the courts--they crossed the line and played into the hands of the Bush administration. Instead of restoring our freedoms, they actually handed the administration vast new powers to invade our privacy with no meaningful oversight from the courts or Congress. Though the law expires in 6 months, momentum is quickly building to pass a permanent FISA "modernization" bill very soon. This is a critical time to keep pressure on Congress to fix the flawed FISA law. Please sign the petition and tell Congress: Don't Fail Freedom: http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=3D7X-daJLq-kVzZJnJKzeIBA.. If we leave a vacuum for even a moment, the debate will be defined by selective and politically motivated intelligence leaks that skew the debate, and by fear of appearing "soft on terrorism" during election season. We can't let that happen. Act now, before any misguided proposals gain momentum in Congress. Please sign the petition and tell Congress: Don't Fail Freedom: http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=3DqA0--phWMLHlYYky8S2hJg.. Thank you for all you're doing in the fight to restore the Constitution.
