Tell Congress not to pass the FISA Amendments Act

Target:
United States Congress
Sponsored by: 
The FISA Amendments Act of 2007 allows the Attorney General to order physical searches of anyone's property or possessions before applying for a warrant.


The bill also allows the warrantless wiretapping of anyone "reasonably believed" to be located outside of the U.S., whether they are a US citizen or not.

The FISA Amendments Act was introduced by democratic Senator John Rockefeller.  The bill has not been voted on yet.

The bill violates the fourth amendment, and should have never been introduced in the Senate.

We the undersigned request that Congress does not pass the FISA Amendments Act of 2007.

The FISA Amendments Act is unconstitutional, and violates the fourth amendment.  Section 107 allows the Attorney General to order physical searches of anyone's property or possessions, before applying for a warrant.

The bill also allows the warrantless wiretapping of anyone(U.S. citizen or not) reasonably believed to be located outside of the United States.

The language of the bill is vague, and makes abuse very easy.

For these reasons, we request that Congress does not pass this bill.

We thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

I never thought I would see the day when America would become a communist country.

FREEDOM? These bills would take that away.

Let's remember why the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were created. Think about where we came from and why we left.

Congress does what it wants any way. This is NOT a free country unless you are a fogiener. It sucks and Americans are being made to look like fools

See above note. That says it all.
