CISPA: TO BE VOTED ON VIA U.S. SENATE THIS WEEK

The notorious cyber-security bill, CISPA is set to voted on via the U.S Senate THIS WEEK (no set date?) as we're hoping to "kill the bill" via protest.

FROM DEMAND PROGRESS:

We're taking part in an Internet-wide day of action: Last week's vote was delayed, so now the Senate version of CISPA looks like it'll be voted on later THIS WEEK. Pro-privacy changes have been added to the bill, but they don't go far enough.

Specifically, Al Franken and Rand Paul are pushing an amendment to make sure companies can't spy on their users' private communications.

Please click here right away to tell your senators to support the Franken-Paul amendment.

Surveillance proponents are going to try to kill amendments like this one and eat into the pro-privacy changes that have already been made.

Congressional staffers say we can win these fights, but we need to up the volume of constituent contacts -- please help us bombard Congress with emails and calls this week.
