US Senate FISA fight on-going now
[before expiration tomorrow]

Quote Alexander Bolton:
“The Senate voted 67-32 to advance a motion to begin debate on the bill, the first of at least three procedural steps needed before holding a final vote on the legislation”

Dramatic expansion of government power on who has to collect data...
Quote Reason Magazine:
"including grocery stores, department stores, hardware stores, laundromats, barber shops, fitness centers, and—perhaps most disturbingly—commercial landlords that rent out the office space where tens of millions of Americans go to work every day, including news media headquarters, political campaign offices, advocacy and grassroots organizations, lobbying firms, and law offices."

Tell your Senator no!  And if you think it’s hopeless, then start fixing what you can control.  Get your ass on Linux.  Get a DeGoogled phone.  Start persuading friends to switch to encrypted messengers.

Maybe you can’t change Senate votes, but you can change your life. 

 The last two paragraphs are what sets your post apart from most others on this topic. 

I sincerely respect the urge to call an elected official and make a fuss… but the slow creep of surveillance will advance, until citizens who respect this danger also wish to hold office (unlikely). 

I feel much more hopeful about individual choices and impacting your immediate community to build resistance internally and make it hard or impossible to be violated.
