Below, find a form letter that I urge you all to fill out and forward this to your elected representatives (Senators, Representatives). It concerns the Bush plan to have the Federal government monitor the Internet activity of all Americans, which would include scanning our email and instant messages. For details, read this:

If you dont know your representatives email addresses, you can find them here:

Though, bear in mind, you might be getting new Congresspeople next year, and should re-check and re-write in late January.

Dear Senator/Representative ,

I am writing to object to the Internet "early warning center" monitoring system proposed in President Bushs forthcoming "National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace". Of all the constitutional violations committed thus far by the Bush adminisration in the name of counter-terrorism, this plan to continulously monitor the Internet activity, email, and instant messaging of all Americans would rank among the most heinous. If implemented, Bushs proposal would render the Fourth Amendment null and void as far as online communication is concerned.

While I do not know the particulars of how the "National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace" would eventtually be translated into U.S. law, I am asking you to do everything in your power to prevent its adoption, particularly in regards to Internet monitoring.

Thank you for your time and attention,

Your name here
