CISPA vote this week

Friends,

We're making a big difference: As lawmakers get ready to vote on CISPA, the bill's sponsors have agreed to amend the legislation to constrain what the government can do with the information it uses CISPA to collect.

But those changes don't go far enough. We need lawmakers to support any and all amendments that would protect Internet users' privacy AND to vote against CISPA as a whole.

We're nearly out of time: Please click here to email your lawmakers right away:

CISPA would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States. You can read more about it here. Many lawmakers share our concerns about CISPA and will introduce amendments to minimize its negative impact on ordinary Internet users. We need to get their backs and encourage others to support their efforts.

Please click here to email your lawmakers right away:

Thanks!
