Oppose the Intelligence Overhaul
Contact your rep. and senators today. Oppose the stampede to pass the dangerous Intelligence Overhaul legislation (S. 2845) based on the 9-11 Commission Report.
Background: A hastily called House-Senate conference committee began hearings on October 20th to reconcile equally hastily passed House and Senate bills. Congressional leaders have sent signals that the full Congress would be called back to Washington for a final vote prior to the November 2nd elections! (Lame Duck!~)
Provisions in the original bills would centralize more police power in the executive branch, and create, in effect, a national ID card. Instead of closing the wide-open doors that are allowing terrorists into our country, the new legislation clamps down on the rights of citizens.
Instead of holding accountable those officials whom 9-11 whistleblowers have shown to be corrupt or negligent, the new legislation would reward the same officials with bigger budgets and more authority.
