We opposed the USA Freedom Act<\/a> the first time around, and this time it is even worse.<\/p>\n

The USA Freedom Act would<\/a> give providers immunity, wouldn\u2019t stop bulk collection of data, includes internet phone calls in wiretapping provisions, allows the government to launder data from its mass surveillance program to use in criminal cases, will extend Section 215 and other major provisions of the PATRIOT Act and more.\u00a0 That the intelligence community supports it certainly indicates little good will come of it.<\/p>\n

The bill may come to a vote in the House, without amendment<\/a>, as early as this afternoon.\u00a0 Please contact your Representative and both Senators TODAY and urge them to vote against the USA Freedom Act.<\/p>\n
