MEDIA ALERT: This morning (Thursday), Jim Babka will be on talk radio. See details, in the P.S.
ACTION ITEM
Last week, the fake “cybersecurity” bill, CISA, was proposed as an amendment to the NDAA.
We are pleased to report, it was defeated, but…
That vote was only a trial balloon to gauge support for CISA. Once Majority Leader Mitch McConnell thinks he has the votes, he can put it up for another vote AT ANY TIME.
That’s why you should tell Congress TODAY to oppose CISA through DownsizeDC.org's “Hands Off the Internet Campaign.”
You may borrow from or copy this letter…
I STRONGLY OPPOSE the Cyber Information Sharing Act (CISA).
Andrea Castillo (http://bit.ly/1I1mBz9) notes…
* Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA and FBI are ALREADY scooping up our personal data without a warrant in the name of “cybersecurity.”
* CISA is both legal cover for and an EXPANSION of their Fourth Amendment-busting methods.And what do we get for this loss of privacy?
* Since 2006, cybersecurity failures in the federal government's OWN SYSTEMS increased 11-fold, to nearly 70,000. (http://bit.ly/1I1mBz9)
* And two weeks ago, the Office of Personnel Management was hacked, exposing the personal information for over 4 million federal workers.How can the feds protect my computers, when they can't protect their own?
I DO NOT CONSENT to “information sharing” that endangers my privacy and identity.
OPPOSE CISA!
