Ask Your Senator to Protect Your Right to Privacy

 

You are receiving this message because at least one of your U.S. senators serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

 

This Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee is considering an update to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) to ensure our email and online data finally receive the same privacy protections from government access as postal mail and phone calls.

 

However, Sen. Grassley of Iowa is pushing an amendment to allow government agencies to read our email without a warrant. Go to VanishingRights.com to tell your senators you oppose Grassley's amendment.  Urge them to support warrants for email.

 

At VanishingRights.com you can send an email to your senator and find their office number to make a call. You will also find more information on ECPA and talking points. Please ask your senators to protect privacy today.
