The Patriot Act plus Donald Trump is scary

No President should have the spying powers that the PATRIOT Act creates.

Tell Congress: "Vote no on reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act and reject any attempt to spy on people in America without a warrant!" ADD YOUR NAME Donald Trump wants to be a dictator. And thanks to the post-9/11 security state, he has the powers to very nearly make himself one. For years, government officials told the public that the PATRIOT Act was an important law that helped America's intelligence agencies fight dangerous terrorists overseas. But they were lying to us. They were even lying to Congress. In reality, the PATRIOT Act was being used to secretly spy on hundreds of millions of people across the country. Telephone calls, text messages, internet activity … nearly every kind of digital communication was being collected. SIGN NOW: Congress must STOP the reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act before it's too late! No President should have the spying powers that the PATRIOT Act creates. Americans were shell-shocked after a terrorist attack, and in that fear, our representatives gave up our freedom. It's clearer than ever that there's no assurance that the President will act in the interests of Americans. Instead of holding faith that the law won't be abused, we need laws that can't be abused! That means letting the PATRIOT Act expire! Tell Congress: STOP The Patriot Act! Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America DONATE NOW Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
