The Patriot Act: Call Your Rep Today!

Please keep up the pressure on your Members of Congress by spreading the word about National PATRIOT Act Call-In Day – January 25, 2006.

What to do

On Wednesday, January 25th, please call both your Senators and your Representative and ask them to support the Senate language reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act. The Senate bill better protects Americans’ and library patrons’ civil liberties — without sacrificing any security.

When you call, ask Members of Congress to fight for:

* The inclusion of language in Section 215 requiring a statement of fact linking the person whose records are sought to a terrorism investigation.

* The inclusion of language allowing a Section 215 recipient to pose a meaningful challenge to a FISA Court order.

* The inclusion of language allowing a Section 505 recipient to pose a meaningful challenge to National Security Letter.
