Urge Congress to Stop the "Total Information Awareness" Program!
ACTION ALERT!
Urge Congress to Stop the "Total Information Awareness" Program!
Are you a law-abiding citizen? Then stand up for your right to privacy.
Senator Russell Feingold (D-WI) has introduced legislation that would enact a moratorium on the misguided Defense Department program called "Total Information Awareness." That program would allow the government to collect personal information on every person in the USA. The system, which includes an advanced form of "data-mining," would effectively provide government officials with immediate access to our personal information including: our communications (phone calls, emails and web searches), financial records, purchases, prescriptions, school records, library records, medical records and travel history. Under the program, all aspects of our personal and professional lives could be catalogued and available to government officials. It is critical that Congress cut funding for this invasive program.
Also note -- after the government has assembled all this information about you from so many sources, then it all sits in one place. Outside hackers, and government employees, will be able to access that information and sell it to criminals. No computer system is secure from outside hackers; that's why it is especially important that information about you should not be collected and compiled into one big centralized file.
