Charge those responsible for issuing/concealing National Security Letters with "Conspiracy Against Rights" (18 USC 241)

Created by J.D. on December 01, 2015

The National Security Letter (NSL) is a surveillance tool that allows the government to acquire a wide swath of private information—all without a warrant. Federal investigators issue tens of thousands of them each year to banks, ISPs, car dealers, insurance companies, doctors, etc. The letters don't need a judge's signature and come with a gag to the recipient, forbidding the disclosure of the NSL to the public or the target. We feel that this violates our 4th amendment right to warrantless search and seizure.

We ask that the president charge everyone responsible for issuing these letters with "Conspiracy against rights" under 18 USC 241, a crime punishable by 10 years in jail.

We believe that the government can change the constitution if they would like but must never ignore it.
