Stop Watching Us! NSA Petition....
I’m pretty sure everyone here knows what’s going on and that I don’t have to explain much.
The NSA claims to “not” invade our privacy and their intentions on intercepting data/information via the internet is to “purely” interpret terrorism acts. I think this is a sac full and I don’t go for it :/
Other Opinions > How can we learn to be hackers, breach security, and do the things we do on the internet with this obstacle in the way. How do we know that every little attack we do isn’t giving them “terrorist suspicion”.
If you ask me– and these things are true! It almost seems to be a Cyber Nazi Germany. We’ll be marched so innocently to our social networks and have little voice on what we say so let’s use that voice before our voices and security are compromised!

Stop Watching Us.
The revelations about the National Security Agency’s surveillance apparatus, if true, represent a stunning abuse of our basic rights. We demand the U.S. Congress reveal the full extent of the NSA’s spying programs.

Letter to Congress:
Dear Members of Congress,
We write to express our concern about recent reports published in the Guardian and the Washington Post, and acknowledged by the Obama Administration, which reveal secret spying by the National Security Agency (NSA) on phone records and Internet activity of people in the United States.
The Washington Post and the Guardian recently published reports based on information provided by an intelligence contractor showing how the NSA and the FBI are gaining broad access to data collected by nine of the leading U.S. Internet companies and sharing this information with foreign governments. As reported, the U.S. government is extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person’s movements and contacts over time. As a result, the contents of communications of people both abroad and in the U.S. can be swept in without any suspicion of crime or association with a terrorist organization.
Leaked reports also published by the Guardian and confirmed by the Administration reveal that the NSA is also abusing a controversial section of the PATRIOT Act to collect the call records of millions of Verizon customers. The data collected by the NSA includes every call made, the time of the call, the duration of the call, and other “identifying information” for millions of Verizon customers, including entirely domestic calls, regardless of whether those customers have ever been suspected of a crime. The Wall Street Journal has reported that other major carriers, including AT&T and Sprint, are subject to similar secret orders.
This type of blanket data collection by the government strikes at bedrock American values of freedom and privacy. This dragnet surveillance violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens' right to speak and associate anonymously, guard against unreasonable searches and seizures, and protect their right to privacy.
We are calling on Congress to take immediate action to halt this surveillance and provide a full public accounting of the NSA’s and the FBI’s data collection programs. We call on Congress to immediately and publicly:
Enact reform this Congress to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the state secrets privilege, and the FISA Amendments Act to make clear that blanket surveillance of the Internet activity and phone records of any person residing in the U.S. is prohibited by law and that violations can be reviewed in adversarial proceedings before a public court;
Create a special committee to investigate, report, and reveal to the public the extent of this domestic spying. This committee should create specific recommendations for legal and regulatory reform to end unconstitutional surveillance;
Hold accountable those public officials who are found to be responsible for this unconstitutional surveillance.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks… Sorry for the spelling error @ First Name. I wrote Fir name by accident. But our security isn’t a joke. We cannot just give our freedoms away. I mean yeah we’re capable but the same thing has happened many times throughout history and people need to open their eyes. You give a dog a bone, they’ll rape you in the ass. In this scenario, our security is the bone and our freedoms are our ass.
Now I didn’t and won’t take any part in writing this document, I simply came across it earlier yesterday and having been spreading it viral since. I hope some people here see the significance of this, do actually submit the form, and continue on to share it with all of their friends via social networks. Especially since there seems to be a big Anonymous base, and if they won’t do something about it then I don’t know what Anonymous stands for to them and that really pisses me off. I’m not associated with Anon in any way, shape, or form but I do support them all the way with what they do.
Not to mention, Anonymous actually supports and funds this petition. I put the list of associated organizations at the bottom.

If you ask me, it’s pretty stupid of them to be “watching” us. There will probably always be hackers around, regardless of whether or not people are being watched. As if watching everyone on facebook is going to prevent terrorist attacks.
