End the N.S.A. Dragnet, Now

Created by D.K. on November 26, 2013

The undersigned fully support the November 25, 2013 editorial by By RON WYDEN, MARK UDALL and MARTIN HEINRICH in the NY Times stating:
---
THE framers of the Constitution declared that government officials had no power to seize the records of individual Americans without evidence of wrongdoing, and they embedded this principle in the Fourth Amendment. The bulk collection of Americans’ telephone records — so-called metadata — by the National Security Agency is, in our view, a clear case of a general warrant that violates the spirit of the framers’ intentions.
---
We ask the President to support the proposed Intelligence Oversight and Surveillance Reform Act, which would prohibit the government from conducting warrantless “backdoor searches” of Americans’ communications.
