Dear Member of Congress,

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) has once again been introduced in the House. Like last year's CISPA, this bill threatens our basic digital civil liberties.

CISPA's passage would be a major blow to our online privacy, and it would have a chilling effect on our freedom to connect online. We won’t feel as free to state unpopular opinions, or to speak truth to power, if we know that Big Brother could get a feed of everything we say and do.

This is not what the free and open Internet is about. I urge you to vote "NO" on CISPA.

    Meet the New CISPA. Same as the Old CISPA.

    Last year, thanks to a public outcry, the effort to pass overreaching cybersecurity legislation stalled in the Senate. Now supporters have reintroduced the House version of that legislation — the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA).

    The “new” version is in fact identical to the original CISPA — and poses the same threat to our digital civil liberties.

    If CISPA becomes law, it will be a major blow to our online privacy. But more than that, CISPA’s passage would have a chilling effect on our freedom to connect online. We won’t feel as free to state unpopular opinions, or to speak truth to power, if we know that Big Brother could get a feed of everything we say and do.

    This is not what the free and open Internet is about. We must tell Congress: Vote NO on CISPA and bury this bill for good.
