Tell President Obama: Support the USA Freedom Act
President Obama has announced his proposal to end the NSA's warrantless collection of millions of phone records. This is a good first step, but it doesn't go far enough.1
The proposal wouldn't do anything to address the many other ways the NSA and other agencies spy on millions of people in the U.S. and around the world — by tracking our Web searches, reading our emails, even serving National Security Letters that make it illegal for people to speak out.
There are a lot of fake fixes circulating in Congress right now. To ensure true transparency and oversight of the NSA and other government agencies, the president needs to get behind the USA Freedom Act. It's the best bill we have to stop the worst of the NSA's abuses.
Tell President Obama to Support the USA Freedom Act.
