Don’t wait for Congress to stop government bulk surveillance of phone records, Sens. Mark Udall, D-Colo., Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., told President Barack Obama in a letter Friday (http://bit.ly/1nT7ikA). They applauded Obama’s move to end government surveillance but worry the House-passed version of the amended USA Freedom Act, HR-3361, is now too weak, they said. Congressional action is needed, but Obama “need not wait to end the dragnet collection of millions of Americans’ phone records,” they said, calling it “an imperative that cannot wait.”
