Online activism: Opportunities to raise your voice

Oppose PATRIOT Act Reauthorization

This letter promotes amendments to incorporate into the PATRIOT Act long overdue civil liberties and transparency protections, including some from the JUSTICE Act proposed by Senator Feingold and opposed by the Obama administration.  Sign this letter today to call on the President and your members of Congress to reject fear mongering and instead fulfill their oaths to defend the Constitution.

Disbar the Torture Lawyers

While the Attorney General contemplates a limited investigation scapegoating junior officials who violated "approved" torture techniques, BORDC and allies (including the National Lawyers Guild and Velvet Revolution) are pursuing ethics complaints against former senior officials.  Letters will soon be available for each state in which torture lawyers face formal complaints.

Demand a Complete Investigation of Torture

Sign on to support a complete and thorough investigation of all government officials allegedly complicit in torture, and prosecution wherever the evidence merits. Add your name to our general letter or a letter addressing the unique perspective of a particular profession: legal professionals, educators, health professionals, or clergy and religious lay-leaders.

Sign Get FISA Right's Open Letter to President Obama
