White House Hijacks Patriot Act Reform:
Calls to Congress Are Needed TODAY!

Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director / American Civil Liberties Union

Eager for a public success, the Bush Administration has strong-armed lawmakers into re-drafting a final Patriot Act bill that actually makes the original law even worse. The new proposals reverse months of bipartisan negotiations and ignore the growing calls for reform from across the political spectrum.

A final vote is expected in the House and Senate THIS WEEK, so we need you to call your Members of Congress as soon as you can. Take action now and and tell them to vote NO on the Patriot Act reauthorization bill.

Today Is the Day to Get More Involved
All that is standing between a terrible Patriot Act bill and its imminent passage are the demands of ordinary freedom-loving Americans.

Whether or not you normally get involved in politics by writing and calling your elected officials, now is the time to get involved and to ask your friends to call as well.

We will need a record number of calls from across the country to turn the tide, and we are counting not only on you, but on your family, co-workers and friends to keep Congress’ phone lines ringing nonstop for the rest of the week.

Your call to Congress is urgently needed. Americans of every political stripe want Patriot Act reform and we need to let Congress know that people across the country are watching this vote.
