Congress is expected to vote this week on various bills to reauthorise FISA Section 702 warrantless wiretapping. The House Intelligence committee’s bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing – it would significantly expand warrantless surveillance. If you’re in the US, now’s a key time to contact Congress! EFF’s got a form that makes it easy, or see the article for phone numbers and a short script.
The House GOP leadership pulled both FISA bills!
Instead, a four-month extension is attached to the NDAA – unless it gets removed. Dozens of civil rights and racial justice groups oppose extending FISA in the NDAA.
If you agree, call your Senators TODAY and with a simple ask: “DO NOT put 702 in the NDAA.”.
