Fight215.org Starts

TechFreedom and a “coalition of privacy advocates” announced the launch of Fight215.org Wednesday. The development was expected (see 1504080043). Fight215 “lets Americans urge their representatives in Congress to end the NSA’s unconstitutional mass surveillance based on Section 215 of the Patriot Act,” a TechFreedom news release said. President Barack Obama "has the power to end bulk collection of our records at any time, but has -- thus far -- chosen not to," said TechFreedom President Berin Szoka. "Where the White House has failed to protect our Constitutional rights, Congress must step into the void. We cannot afford to rubber-stamp the Patriot Act -- yet again -- without significant reforms.”
