<p class="MsoPlainText">Good morning, folks, and my apologies for intruding on your Wednesday and any cross-posting duplication in your Inboxes.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Every now and then, infrequently, a Washington-related matter comes along where ALA can have a real and lasting impact by taking an “all hands on deck” approach. This is one of those times. Specifically, ALA is a partner in a large
nationwide coalition effort (<a href="http://www.savecrypto.org">www.savecrypto.org</a>) to obtain 100,000 signatures in 30 days on an official White House "We the People" petition.
<span style="color:#1F497D">We are asking </span>the President <span style="color:#1F497D">
to </span>firmly oppose requiring device makers and encryption designers to weaken their privacy protections to allow the NSA and others a "back door" into all of our communications. He is close to making that declaration<span style="color:#1F497D">,</span>
and we <span style="color:#1F497D">h</span>ope this drive will <span style="color:#1F497D">
convince him to do so</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Please take a moment to sign the petition, retweet the message on twitter (linked below), and encourage anyone and everyone you can efficiently reach to sign and retweet too.
<b>We have 9 days and just under 15,000 signatures to go</b> to reach that critical 100,000 mark, which – by the terms of the We the People project – will *<b><i>guarantee</i></b>* a substantive White House reply. This one’s worth a real push.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thanks for your help! Here's the link to the Tweet on ALA’s main Twitter page:<o:p></o:p></p>
