It never hurts.
Senator XXXXX,
Several fellow democratic Senators have introduced legislation titled the JUSTICE ACT. The JUSTICE ACT would introduce stronger safeguards and higher standards of judicial oversight for surveillance activity. It aims to reform the most abusive characteristics of the PATRIOT Act and would also roll back a controversial provision of the FISA Amendment Act that granted telecom companies retroactive immunity for their participation in the Bush administration's extralegal warrantless surveillance program.
The proposal is broadly endorsed by privacy advocates and civil liberties groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Senator Feingold says that the goal of the act is to ensure that surveillance and intelligence-gathering activities are properly empowered while guaranteeing that rights are respected and investigative privileges are not misused.
As a voting constituent I urge you to publicly display your support for this act. Give Senator Feingold a call at (202)-224-5323 and tell him you have his support. Please get in front of the camera and promote this bill.
There will be opposition from the right but we have the majority to make this happen. Please respond telling me whether you're FOR or AGAINST this act. If you're against please explain why. Thank you.
