Stop Unlawful Government Spying on US Citizens
Target: U.S. CongressSponsored by: American Civil Liberties Union
Urgent update: President Bush just announced his plans to use the "lame duck" session of Congress to push through legislation authorizing the U.S. government to spy on unknowing citizens without a warrant.
In two months, we may be losing our freedom of speech every time we send an email internationally or call a friend. But we still have time to prevent this nightmare "Big Brother" bill from passing.
The legislation, crafted under Dick Cheney's supervision, would authorize the U.S. government to spy on unknowing citizens, even if they have not committed a crime. A federal judge already ruled that the President's surveillance program violates the Constitution, yet the Bush republican party continues to advocate for the right to spy on unknowing Americans.
The character of our nation will be redefined if this measure passes. We must raise our voices to protect our right to privacy and the rule of law.
TELL CONGRESS NOT TO CONSIDER THE "BIG BROTHER" BILL ON ILLEGAL DOMESTIC SPYING!

Spying its own citizens is like incriminating them a priori and indicates a strong lack of trust and respect for the people.

THE FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION WARNED OF UNCHECKED POWER AND IT'S THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. THESE CONS DO NOT CARE ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY, THEY CARE ABOUT CORPORATE SECURITY. YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET HIT BY A BUS THAN FOR TERRORIST TO ATTACK YOU. SAY NO TO THE UNLAWFUL POLICE STATE!!
