Renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 2008 was a mistake. Now we learn that NSA continues to routinely collect Americans' telephone calls and e-mail messages — perhaps by the millions. The best way to protect us is to repeal FISA and undertake a high level study of how much domestic intelligence gathering is needed and how it can be undertaken without violating our rights to privacy.
Please, repeal Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
Dear Representative
Hi. As you may be well aware, renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 2008 was a mistake. Now we learn that NSA continues to routinely collect Americans' telephone calls and e-mail messages — perhaps by the millions. The best way to protect us is to repeal FISA and undertake a high level study of how much domestic intelligence gathering is needed and how it can be undertaken without violating our rights to privacy. Congress and the White House should collaborate on repealing FISA and commissioning this review to enable the government to collect intelligence without invading our rights to privacy. Thanx. Goodbye.
Matutinally Yours,
[Your name]
