Sign the Petition: Stop NSA mass surveillance

Have you heard of the “USA Freedom Act,” friend?

*It’s a bill – passed recently by the House of Representatives – that was supposed to protect Americans from the type of unwarranted domestic surveillance that the NSA has been carrying on for years.

But guess what – instead, it was watered it down so much it doesn’t get the job done.

The version passed by the House would still allow for mass collection of data on innocent Americans so long as the NSA uses a so-called “selection term” to narrow their results. What does that mean? It means that they could collect data on anyone in a particular state or a particular zip code.

That isn’t good enough – not by a long shot.

Sign our petition and tell Congress that real surveillance reform needs stronger protections for American citizens.

What we need is an end once and for all to the broad terms and loopholes that the NSA uses to spy on the American people. In the U.S. Senate, I’m working to move forward with much tougher legislation – but we need the House moving in the same direction to make it happen.

So join the conversation. Add your name to our petition and let Congress know that this issue deserves the full attention of both the House and Senate.

I’ve worked on issues of privacy and consumer protection for decades. This isn’t about Democrat or Republican – it’s about the fundamental rights of all Americans.

I’m not going to let this slide. Thanks for joining.
