US citizens: phone your senators and call on them to oppose the attempt to reauthorize part of the PAT RIOT Act.

They should not only oppose the Republican amendments to increase government snooping, they should vote against reauthorization.

There are also proposed amendments offered so that the reauthorization would permit somewhat less snooping. It would be good to vote for those amendments in case the reauthorization passes, then vote against reauthorization.

The Capitol Switchboard numbers are 202-224-3121, 888-818-6641 and 888-355-3588.

If you call please spread the word!
