ACTION ITEM
Congress should pass the Surveillance State Repeal Act (HR 2818), because for one thing, it repeals the Patriot Act.

“Secret interpretations” of the so-called “Patriot Act” and FISA Amendments Act allowed the NSA to spy on anyone without a warrant.
Meanwhile…
Congressional “leaders” do the NSA's bidding. They're even sabotaging the USA Freedom Act, a bill with modest reforms that had broad bipartisan support.
I want my property rights restored! I want my privacy back! In other words…
I want the Fourth Amendment restored!
The root cause of the trouble is…
Congress permits the President's men to “secretly interpret” the laws.
The solution? REPEAL those laws. Wonderfully…
The Surveillance State Repeal Act accomplishes this. It…
* Repeals the Patriot Act
* Repeals most of the FISA Amendments Act.
It also…
* Requires a valid warrant based on probable cause before an American is targeted for surveillance.
* Prohibits the feds from requiring that surveillance “backdoors” be built into my electronic devices and software.
Remember…
You work for ME, NOT the NSA! Therefore…
Co-sponsor and PASS HR 2818!
