Stop Spying Without Borders

We've always been told that spying on the citizens is a prerogative of the totalitarian states such as Communist or Nazi regimes. And we always thought and been told that this could not happen in US. That was before we learned a true scope of the NSA programs, including spying on heads of our allies among other 35 states, as well as monitoring phone calls and e-mails of tens of millions of people in different countries around the world and probably most of the citizens of this country.
Now after initial shock and disbelieve most people must have realized that the illegal spying was going on for a long time, in violation of court orders, not just by NSA, and that FISA law is one big loophole. Yet, there was still some hope that things might change and that legislature will wake up from coma of narcissistic greatness and trans of patriotic propaganda and will close the loopholes that took away rights guaranteed by the American Constitution that they swore to uphold and defend.

That all has changed on Thursday last week (October 31, 2013) when a bill that would validate NSA’s harvesting of phone, e-mail records cleared the Senate Intelligence Committee and progressed to the full Senate. If the FISA Improvements Act will become law, “Congress effectively will be validating expansive powers that have been claimed by the NSA and upheld by a court--but never explicitly written into statute—to harvest the phone and e-mail records of millions of Americans”(Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senate-bill-would-validate-nsas-harvesting-of-phone-e-mail-records-privacy-advocates-say/2013/11/02/aa24932e-4310-11e3-a751-f032898f2dbc_story.html).

Please, sign this petition and send the strong message to the Congress and President that they cannot take from us our Constitutional Rights. Say 'No' to legalization of warrantless blanked phone and e-mail wiretapping.
