Why is PATRIOT Act reform so imperative?  The Electronic Frontier Foundation just dug up documents that show that the FBI has used the PATRIOT Act to spy on innocent children: "The report describes the FBI's monitoring of young children for five days, despite the fact that none of the voices being monitored matched the voice or language of the target." 
On Tuesday, April 5th, thousands of Demand Progress members and other Americans will call the White House.  We'll tell President Obama to keep his campaign promises by vetoing any PATRIOT Act renewal bill that lacks powerful new checks and balances to protect the privacy of innocent Americans.  Will you join us?

• Click here to RSVP and we'll forward you a phone number and call script next week.

• If you can't call, will you click here to ask your friends to sign our PATRIOT Act petition?  You and 75,000 others have already signed.

The PATRIOT Act is up for renewal next month.  Congressmembers blocked a 3-year extension earlier this year, and many have proposed important amendments that would help protect Americans' civil liberties.  We have a real chance to fix it, but we need Obama to join our cause.  Will you call Obama on April 5th?

Thanks for standing up for civil liberties.
