ACLU: Will the House protect your privacy?

We’ve got another big chance to end Patriot Act abuses–but we have to act fast.

The Senate Judiciary Committee had the opportunity to pass legislation to rein in a bill that has become a symbol of out-of-control government invasions of your privacy. They failed–approving a bill that does little to curtail the sweeping powers embedded in the Patriot Act.

That’s why we must do everything we can to ensure that the House of Representatives passes a stronger bill–one that can lead to genuine reform of the deeply-flawed Patriot Act.

Act right now. Ask your representative to co-sponsor the USA Patriot Amendments Act of 2009.
