Like a bad penny, this issue keeps coming back. Some members of Congress, along with officials in the Clinton Administration, are intent on expanding the government's ability to spy on American citizens. Proponents of increased government surveillance authority claim it will help protect us from terrorists. Opponents worry about who will protect us from the government. Because there is strong, bipartisan opposition to expanding government wiretap authority, this a good issue to use for local and regional coalition-building efforts.
Many local organizations publish newsletters.
