Vice President, and Congress.

Dear: _________________

Renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 2008 was a mistake.
Now we learn that NSA continues to routinely collect Americans' telephone
calls and e-mail messages — perhaps by the millions.

The best way to protect us is to repeal FISA and undertake a high level
study of how much domestic intelligence gathering is needed and how it
can be undertaken without violating our rights to privacy.

Congress and the White House should collaborate on repealing FISA and
commissioning this review to enable the government to collect intelligence
without invading our rights to privacy.

Sincerely yours

Your name and address

Written by PM 6⁄19⁄09
