C4L: "Cybersecurity" BULLS*** again. You know what to do.

[Sayzak]

Lame duck is in full swing, and Harry Reid has announced the Senate will force a vote before Thanksgiving on so-called “Cybersecurity” legislation.

Contact your senators today at 202-224-3121 and urge them to vote "NO" on every vote, including cloture!

It failed to pass again but it could be voted on again .




I urge you to oppose CISPA cybersecurity bill (H.R. 3523) and its Senate counterparts by Lieberman-Collins (S.2105) or McCain (S.2151).

CISPA would trample on decades of privacy law, allowing companies to spy on our online communications and pass all kinds of sensitive data to the government.

That information could end up in the hands of the National Security Agency (NSA), which is notorious for its lack of public accountability. And that data could also be used for purposes completely unrelated to cybersecurity. As one expert wrote:

CISPA can no longer be called a cybersecurity bill at all. The government would be able to search information it collects under CISPA for the purposes of investigating American citizens with complete immunity from all privacy protections as long as they can claim someone committed a "cybersecurity crime". Basically it says the 4th Amendment does not apply online, at all. Moreover, the government could do whatever it wants with the data as long as it can claim that someone was in danger of bodily harm, or that children were somehow threatened again, notwithstanding absolutely any other law that would normally limit the government's power.

It is unconscionable that members of Congress, sworn to uphold the Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights' First and Fourth Amendments, would give any support to a bill that: (1) would disregard the First Amendment rights of online publishers; and 2) would disregard the Fourth Amendment privacy protections by implementing a backdoor warrantless cybertapping program under the umbrella of "cyber threat intelligence."

Civil liberties groups and progressives unanimously opposed CISPA. President Obama warned the House he would veto the bill because it does not protect our privacy, but they ignored his warnings.

Help protect Internet freedom from arbitrary censorship and violation of privacy by opposing H.R. 3523, S.2105 clearly a government censorship bill that would also unnecessarily and excessively monitor private emails and text messages.


I urge you to defend my civil liberties under the First and Fourth Amendments and oppose CISPA.
