http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm <- search for the email and phone contact of your senators on their respective websites and give them a call with the following:
I am calling about a bill that is being voted upon in the Senate CISPA would infringe on the privacy of all American Internet users. I urge you to oppose it when it comes up for a vote this week.
CISPA is a blatent violation of 4th amendment constitutional provisions. It means the unreasonable search and seizure of people's personal information by private companies and government agencies even when there is no warrant out for their arrest. If this bill passes, who shall police the police?
It is understood that the NSA already has conducted secret surveillance on United States citizens against the 4th amendment already without authorization. I will not legally support such infringement on my privacy and liberty.
I stand for protection from unreasonable search and seizure of innocent civilians' online communications-- allowing ISPs and companies to spy on innocent civilians and their personal and private conversions, emails, etc-- and do so with impunity even without a court-ordered warrant for civilian's arrest. This means the system for monitoring, surveillance and thievery of data and communications under this bill would be commonplace and made legal even if one has done no crime..Such a bill stands for being treated guilty before innocent and that there is no means for you to defend yourself against this predatory atmosphere of online information thievery.
It would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States, giving the government and private companies-- including the military -- broad news powers to spy on Internet users.
CISPA demolishes existing barriers between the government and the private sector -- and between government agencies -- that restrict data sharing without cause, effectively allowing information about Americans' use of the Internet to slosh back and forth uninhibited. This is a severe threat to civil liberties.
I will not only cease to vote for you, but I will also speak to my friends and colleagues about this if you vote on anything even slightly resembling CISPA. We will lobby against you next election if you support such legislation.
