GET
THE SPIES OFF THE LINE
AT&T, Verizon and other phone companies may have illegally sent
your phone records to the National
Security Agency.
Millions of US citizens have had their phone records monitored and
their privacy invaded. Chances are,
you are one of them. Under an unprecedented and illegal secret
arrangement, phone companies like
AT&T and Verizon have reportedly been handing their customers’
phone records over to the National
Security Agency.
This is a violation of the law. It’s a violation of customer trust. And
it’s a violation of a citizen’s
expectation that their government will not pry into their lives without
probable cause. If this is not
stoppled, who knows where it will end.
Instant government access to every single phone call you have and
millions of citizens have made in the
last few years - think about what that means. Access to the phone
records of political opponents, news
reporters and potential whistle blowers. Calls to friends, families,
associates, lovers. Calls to medical
specialists.
It’s not up to AT&T, Verizon or any other phone company to
decide what the government gets to see.
Our representatives in congress have passed laws and they must be
followed.
The FCC has the authority and the obligation to investigate the NSA
spying scandal.
