Tell Congress to Vote Against NSA Surveillance Tomorrow

Dear Internet,

It‘s been just over a month since new information on the NSA’s dragnet domestic surveillance program was leaked to the public. Tomorrow, Congress is voting on an amendment that would block funding for NSA programs using Section 215 of the Patriot Act to mass collect the call records of innocent Americans.

A win tomorrow may start a chain reaction that leads to real reform – but it won‘t happen unless we speak up. We have one day to convince Congress to act.

A critical vote is happening tomorrow, July 24th, on the Defense Appropriations Bill in the House of Representatives. The bill gives taxpayer money to fund defense programs, including the NSA, which is part of the Department of Defense.
