Tell Lawmakers to Protect and Expand Our Data Privacy Protections

Maine has the opportunity to enact some of the strongest privacy protections in the nation – but we need your help.

A majority of the Judiciary Committee supported LD 1822, and it will now be considered by the full House and Senate. Here's what it would do:

Limit data collection: Companies would only be able to collect the minimum data necessary to provide a good or service – nothing more.
Protect biometric data: Enact stronger safeguards to protect against lifelong identity theft through fingerprints, palm scans, facial scanning, and more.
Protect civil rights: Prevent AI-generated decisions from making biased decisions on things like hiring, housing, loans, and more.
Empower consumers: Give consumers control over their data, including the right to know who holds their data, the right to correct it, and the right to delete it.

Take action now to urge your state representative and senator to SUPPORT LD 1822.

Subject Support LD 1822, Majority Report

I respectfully urge you to support the majority report for LD 1822 to empower consumers and protect Mainers from exploitation by Big Tech.

The Judiciary Committee supported LD 1822 over other legislation because it was the only bill to significantly strengthen and expand our privacy rights. That is why I'm asking you to join your colleagues by supporting the majority report on this bill.

Message Body

The Judiciary Committee's majority report on LD 1822 is the right move for Maine's people and businesses. The committee did not advance other well-intentioned bills that did not go far enough to protect our data and uphold constitutional protections.

By supporting the majority report for LD 1822, you will continue Maine lawmakers' strong legacy of protecting data privacy. I urge you to support LD 1822 because Maine people value privacy, independence, and the freedom to live without surveillance. In the ever-changing world of technology, LD 1822 is an opportunity for lawmakers to defend the rights and privacy of their constituents. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
