Last week, the House overwhelmingly voted to reauthorize the PATRIOT Act by passing the USA FREEDOM Act, a dangerous bill that would authorize intrusive surveillance practices that a federal court just ruled are illegal.
This is the last week the Senate is in session before the PATRIOT Act expires, so we have to speak out now and urge senators not to reauthorize the PATRIOT Act via the USA FREEDOM Act or any other bill.
CREDO, Demand Progress, Fight for the Future, Free Press, MoveOn and Restore the Fourth are organizing dozens of emergency rallies all across the country tomorrow (Thursday) to call on Congress to let the PATRIOT Act sunset, and fight for real reform to stop mass surveillance.
