<p>Congress isn’t working this summer . . . in Washington, that is. However, Members and their local staffs are working double-time back in their home states and Congressional Districts meeting with constituents, taking their calls, and reading voters’ e-mails
and tweets. That means that NOW is the perfect time for you to contact both of your U.S. Senators with a critical message about protecting your privacy . . . not to mention the Constitution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Please, take just three minutes today to contact both of your Senators (<a href="http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxVPYRDP1pyQVLuOKDdhCjkpEHl4-MpK7qM0fNQTj0GD4bogm-vzqsFUGHzlcBBAkU-_l5k0TPd8NxvWSsccaqiAmzNqQS1JLGwta9Y1_dZR3-0V1awx_Rq3khvbRK14n60f3I-EiLs0sq662nr4rbJw&lp=0">here’s

Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act “CISA” (currently S. 2588)</a>. (CISA, among many other invasive things, would automatically and over-broadly share with the NSA and many other agencies personal information about U.S. citizens reported to the Department
of Homeland security by private companies in connection with their effort s to identify “cyber-threats.”) <o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p>Your local contact now with your Senator really can make the difference in pushing the USA Freedom Act through the Senate (and to the President’s desk) and in stopping CISA in its tracks before it can gain any dangerous legislative momentum. <o:p></o:p></p>
