Dear Friends,

Eager for a public success, the Bush Administration has strong-armed
lawmakers into re-drafting a final Patriot Act bill that actually
makes the original law even worse. The new proposals reverse months of
bipartisan negotiations and ignore the growing calls for reform from
across the political spectrum.

A final vote is expected in the House and Senate THIS WEEK, so we need
you to call your Members of Congress as soon as you can.  Take
action now and and tell them to vote NO on the Patriot Act
reauthorization bill!

Your call to Congress is urgently needed.  Americans of every
political stripe want Patriot Act reform and we need to let Congress
know that people across the country are watching this vote.

Thank you for standing up for freedom.

P.S. Today Is the Day to Get More Involved

All that is standing between a terrible Patriot Act bill and its
imminent passage are the demands of ordinary freedom-loving
Americans.

Whether or not you normally get involved in politics by writing
and calling your elected officials, now is the time to get involved
and to ask your friends to call as well.

We will need a record number of calls from across
the country to turn the tide, and we are counting not only on
you, but on your family, co-workers and friends to keep Congress'
phone lines ringing nonstop for the rest of the week.

To get others involved, point them to:
