How to Make Sure That Big Brother is NOT Watching You
After countless revelations about the NSA’s rampant domestic surveillance of innocent people, a group of experts, hand-picked by the President himself, have issued a report with specific recommendations to rein in the NSA. The Review Group carefully analyzed the NSA’s activities, and recently proposed changes that would protect our personal privacy, at no expense to our national security.
[strong]These proposals were presented as a coherent, comprehensive plan – and they should be treated as such.[/strong] The President gave a speech recently and announced that he would accept a few of these proposals, but not all of them. That’s not good enough. No one – not the President, nor the Defense Department, nor the so-called “Intelligence Community” – should get to cherry-pick which proposals they’ll actually implement. The Review Group set forth a global program, not a menu.
[strong]We shouldn’t have to trade our privacy and freedom for our safety. And we don’t. The Review Group’s recommendations proved that point, and showed us the way forward.[/strong]
The Review Group’s program is a serious start to reining in the spying-industrial complex. But without our support, that program will suffer crib death.
The spying-industrial complex will never reform itself. They never met a byte they didn’t like, or want. That’s why I’ve introduced the “Big Brother Is Not Watching You Act” – to curb the NSA’s infatuation with spying on innocent Americans. [strong][link:"http://mindyourownbusinessact.com?refcode=032114%%listtracking%%"|My one-page bill directs the President to implement each and every one of the Review Group’s 46 recommendations, within one year or less. Not just a few. Not half. Not even most. All of them.][/strong]
If you agree, then please sign your name on our petition at[strong] MindYourOwnBusinessAct.com[/strong], and I’ll deliver your signatures to the White House. [strong][link:"http://mindyourownbusinessact.com?refcode=032114%%listtracking%%" Together, we’ll tell the President that we demand real reform of the spying-industrial complex, and we won’t accept anything less.][/strong]
Why? Because we are human beings – free, autonomous men and women who cherish our privacy, and respect the privacy of all others. [strong][link:"http://mindyourownbusinessact.com?refcode=032114%%listtracking%%"|We are not cattle.][/strong]
Courage,
Rep. Alan Grayson
