Your Name, Your Address, City, State, Zip, Country. U.S. Voters or Constituents ( If you live in US) Dear Senator , Please OPPOSE the HOME LAND SECURITY BILL . The Home Land Security Bill is a complete violation of citizens' PRIVACY ACT . The White House-backed bill makes a mockery of legislative procedure. The most extensive reorganization of the federal government in 50 years is being rammed through Congress in a 484-page bill that most senators and congressmen have NOT read, with many provisions on which there have been NO hearings and NO public discussion. Senator Robert Byrd, the senior member of the Senate, spoke lately on the Senate floor, denouncing the legislation as a “sham”. " There are all these different information-gathering programs, and presumably (the office) is going to be in a position to sweep them into a pot and try to do something with them, and that's a major Privacy concern, " said Alan Davidson, an assistant director at the watchdog Center for Democracy and Technology. The new bill will combine 22 federal agencies with some relationship to internal security, including the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, the Secret Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Border Patrol, the Transportation Security Administration (newly established to conduct security checks of passengers and baggage at most airports) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The new legislation gives the federal government powers that go far beyond those obtained by combining 22 separate security agencies into one. One provision in the bill will allow the federal government to track credit card purchases, medical data, travel, magazine subscriptions, library usage and web and email usage. All this information is to be centralized in a vast new database covering every citizen and visitor. Entitled the “Total Information Awareness” program, it is to be maintained by a new Security Advance Research Projects Agency (SARPA). Please stop our Congress to become little more than a rubber stamp for the demands of an executive branch that is preparing to combine war abroad and repression of political Opposition and Dissent at home. The Home Land Security Bill is a complete violation of the Privacy Act. We request you to OPPOSE THE HOME LAND SECURITY BILL NOW. Thanks for effort to protect citizens Privacy rights. Sincerely Yours, Your Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Country US Voters or U.S. Constituents.
