In This Issue: Nation-Wide PATRIOT Call in Day January 25th

 

Good news! Your persistent phone calls and e-mails to Congress 

have secured us some success in the ongoing debate about USA 

PATRIOT Act reauthorization. But the fight is not over yet! 

 

Please keep up the pressure on your Members of Congress 

by spreading the word about National PATRIOT Act Call-In Day -

January 25, 2006.

 

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.

Or use the Capitol Switchboard number: 202-224-3121.
