Stop Mass Warrantless Surveillance: Reform Section 702

The House of Representatives just passed a bill reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and expanding the federal government’s power to secretly spy on Americans.

When the government wants to obtain Americans' private information, the Fourth Amendment requires it to go to court and obtain a warrant. But the U.S. government has repeatedly used Section 702 to conduct warrantless surveillance of Americans, including protesters, members of Congress, and journalists. By expanding the government’s surveillance powers without adding a warrant requirement that would protect Americans, the House has voted to allow intelligence agencies to violate the civil rights and liberties of Americans for years to come. The Senate can still rein in this out-of-control government spying, but we must act quickly. Tell Congress to protect Americans’ privacy and vote NO on this expansion of government warrantless surveillance.

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.
