ITP V.012 SOCIAL MEDIA: CISPA SENATE PETITION, Use Facebook to Speak Out for Privacy Before the Vote on Cybersecurity

CISPA (CYBER, INTELLIGENCE, SHARING AND PROTECTION ACT) is up for vote in the U.S. Senate. A petition has been circulated to challenge and "Kill the Bill" as the cons of CISPA is cyber spying, privacy issues, and censorship concerns without due process of civil or criminal law..
Send e-mails, tweets, and calls to your senator, say NO to CISPA, the government does not need to read your e-mails, tweets and FB banter, they don't need a daily report of your private life. PRIVACY is AWESOME. 
Remember NDAA + SOPA=CISPA..
Please call your Senator or/and sign the petition and check out PRIVACY IS AWESOME via FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE.

“I don't want to give government agencies access to my emails. Vote no on s.3414 The Cybersecurity Act of 2012, and vote against any anti-privacy amendments to it. Also, vote for the pro-privacy Franken-Paul amendment.”

FROM FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE: (http://fightforthefuture.org/defendprivacy):

Groups like the EFF and the ACLU worked closely with pro-privacy senators to get strong privacy protections into the Senate's version of CISPA. That's the good news.
The problem? The Senate bill isn't guaranteed to be good for privacy. A large number of Senators are pushing for a version that eliminates consumer privacy laws and gives broad new powers to web companies to monitor you, block you from their sites, and share your personal info with the government.
Your call could actually tip the scales. If we can convince just a handful of Senators to stand up for our rights to privacy, we can significantly improve the bill or block it entirely.
Please call today. If you can't call, send an email.


FROM EFF.ORG:

The Senate is about to vote on the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 – perhaps even as early as tomorrow. So we’re in a last push to get concerned Internet users to speak out for privacy before the big vote. If you want to ensure that we don’t compromise our rights to speak and communicate online privately, then please tweet and call your Senators. And now you can do one more thing: post a note on your Senators’ Facebook profiles. Leave comments asking them to stand up for your privacy in the cybersecurity debates. Comments might read something like:
I’m a constituent and I want you to defend privacy when you vote on the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S 3414). Please support the Franken-Paul Amendment and other pro-privacy amendments, reject any attempts to water down privacy protections, and oppose the bill as a whole.
We’ve heard from our contacts in DC that the tweets are making a big impact – let’s add to the impact with Facebook messages.  Scroll down to find your Senator's Facebook information. Note that you must have a Facebook account to comment on a Senator's profile, and you will probably need to "like" the Senator's page in order to post your comment. However, you can stop "liking" the page as soon you've posted.
The vote is mere hours away so please act now.
