fight this shit

i just got an email from the electronic frontier foundation, and it looks like the justice department is trying to push through a renewal and expansion of the patriot act in a closed-door session of the senate intelligence committee this thursday. included will be a serious erosion of the search warrant protection that we all regard as a basic civil right.
go to the page set up by the eff to send an email to your representative. i am not entirely hopeful that this makes a difference, but at least the fuckers will have the email addresses of the people to spy on first: those of us who still believe in preserving our civil rights.
