Quote of the Day: "The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver." - Jay Leno
The warrantless wiretapping law will expire at the end of 2012, unless the Senate passes an extension.
That could happen tomorrow!
You may think this law only affects terror suspects. But my letter below shows how it affects YOU.
Please tell Congress to let the warrantless spying law expire.

Do this by opposing extension of the 2008 FISA Amendments Act (FAA).
The FAA permits government agents to spy on my electronic communications whenever I contact someone abroad. No warrant is needed. This violates the Fourth Amendment.
Senator Merkley (http://shar.es/hbAzn) says Americans would be "appalled" if they knew the extent of the spying.
I am more than appalled. I am angry.
Those who have friends overseas must assume that federal agents have read their emails, listened to their calls, and monitored their browsing history. I deny my consent for these criminal actions.
Obey your oath to protect the Constitution. Restore the 4th amendment. Let the FAA expire.
