FBI Caught Spying On Kids: Fix The PATRIOT Act

Thanks for signing up!

The momentum is on our side, but the fight isn't over yet: On Tuesday, April 5th, thousands of Demand Progress members and other Americans will call the White House. We'll tell President Obama to keep his campaign promises by vetoing any PATRIOT Act renewal bill that lacks powerful new checks and balances to protect the privacy of innocent Americans. Will you join us? If so, please click here to RSVP.

The PATRIOT Act is up for renewal in April. Just a couple months ago it looked set for a 3-year extension -- or worse. More than 75,000 Demand Progress members fought back -- and thanks to them and others, Congress is holding hearings on the PATRIOT Act and considering serious reforms. Will you join them in urging Congress to fix the PATRIOT Act? Just click here to sign the petition: http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/patriot_fix/?source=taf Since it was first passed almost a decade ago, some of the most noxious portions of the PATRIOT Act have burrowed their way deep into our legal system. Together, these provisions make a mockery of our civil liberties: They let government officials spy on whomever they want, for any reason, without ever letting them know or giving them a chance to challenge the order in court. Enough is enough: Will you join me in demanding that Congress finally fix these provisions or let them provision expire? Just click here and Demand Progress will send a message to your senator, representative, and President Obama. http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/patriot_fix/?source=taf Thanks!
