ACLU, ACT FOR CHANGE & WORKING ASSETS Filing FCC Complaints About NSA Spying

IF YOU’VE USED A TELEPHONE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, READ THIS

AT&T, VERIZON AND OTHER PHONE COMPANIES MAY HAVE ILLEGALLY SENT YOUR PHONE RECORDS TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY


Millions of Americans have had their telephone records monitored and their privacy invaded. Chances are, you are one of them. Under an unprecedented and illegal secret arrangement, phone companies like AT&T and Verizon have reportedly been handing their customers’ phone records over to the National Security Agency.

This is a violation of the law. It is a violation of customer trust. And it’s a violation of Americans' expectation that the government will not pry into their lives without probable cause. It must be stopped – or where will it end?

Instant government access to every single phone call you and millions of other Americans have made in the last few years – think about what that means. Access to the phone records of political opponents, news reporters, and potential whistle blowers. Calls to friends, family, associates, lovers. Calls to medical specialists.
It is not up to AT&T, Verizon or any other phone company to decide what the government gets to see – our representatives in Congress have passed laws, and they must be followed.

You can help put a stop to this illegal spying right now.

STOP THIS ABUSE OF POWER NOW. FILE A COMPLAINT


To file a complaint about this assault on your privacy, go to ACLU DON'T SPY.

The ACLU is filing complaints with the Federal Communications Commission, and, wherever possible, with state telephone regulators (public utility commissions), which have the power to stop privacy violations.

Help stop the abuse now! ACLU DON'T SPY.

Paid for by the ACLU Foundation.
