Checks and Balances


We helped fight back last year legislation that would have made it easier for domestic spying. This Tuesday the Senate Intelligence Committee is picking the topic back up. Make sure your representatives know where you stand.

[StopIllegalSpying.org](http://www.stopillegalspying.org) is a new site set up by [EFF](http://www.eff.org) and a broad coalition of groups fighting for your privacy and the rule of law. With your help, we can press Congress to do its job and restore the checks and balances that define our democracy. Please help spread the word about the site to friends and family.

Remember, it’s not about whether you are doing something right or wrong. It’s about the erosion of our [civil liberties](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_liberty) and the slippery slope it becomes when you give an inch.
