Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to support Sections 1201 and 1202 of the Intelligence Authorization Act, impeach Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito, and pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Demand Progress helps you tell your Congressfolk to support Sections 1201 and 1202 of the Intelligence Authorization Act, because these sections will protect good Americans from the worst effects of government spying. These "worst effects" include, no lie, our government actually forcing Americans to spy on each other. Yes, you read that right – the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (or FISA) now basically allows our government to expand the definition of "electronic communication service providers" to individual Americans, meaning they could one day serve wiretap orders to you and I. Turning Americans into “service providers” in order to spy on each other is evil, and we should fight that to the death. Its death, that is.
Demand Progress also helps you tell your Congressfolk to impeach Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito over their fairly obvious and well-reported conflicts of interest. 20 years of luxury vacations for free for Justice Thomas, a luxury trip with Paul Singer for Justice Alito before Mr. Singer had no less than ten cases before our Court – Jesus Mary and Joseph Abe Fortas had to resign his Court seat over a $20,000 gift from a bankster under investigation for insider trading in 1969; of course $20,000 is a little over $180,000 in 2024 dollars, but I think that notation doesn’t smash a precedent, but sets one. If you're not convinced, remember that these clowns took away the right to an abortion and made Donald Trump a King.
Finally, the Workers Circle helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Our Supreme Court struck down our Justice Department's ability to pre-clear voting law changes from Southern states; they said it unlawfully discriminated against the South – don't linger too long on that, it'll just anger up the blood! – but they also said a law that didn't discriminate against the South would pass muster. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would let our Justice Department pre-clear voting law changes from any state or locality, Southern or not, that has historically suppressed the vote. So maybe we ought to put that to the test!
