Congress returns from recess this week, and EFF is joining a coalition of organizations for a two week national call-in to stop the dangerous NSA spying bills. Visit our Action Center to call your members of Congress now, and spread the word to friends and family about these bills. Let's keep the phones ringing in the Congressional halls for two weeks straight!

Tell Congress: Let the FISA Courts Do Their Job

The EFF and the ACLU have scored key victories in obtaining judicial review of the NSA's domestic wiretapping program. In EFF's case in California, the government's motion to dismiss on the grounds of state secrecy was thrown out by the judge. Also rejecting the government's secrecy arguments, the judge in the ACLU's case in Detroit issued an order last Thursday demanding an immediate halt to the program.

But now several new bills are threatening to put an end to this vigorous judicial oversight of the NSA's domestic spying. Please call your Congressional representatives now and urge them to oppose these dangerous surveillance bills. Spread the word to friends and family as well
