Subject: Have 2 minutes to stop NSA surveillance?

Dear Friend of Digital Freedom,
Have you seen? Over 215,000 people have signed onto the stopwatching.us campaign we launched one week ago. Take a look: http://optin.stopwatching.us/?r=eff

And we've made huge waves in the media with a coalition of companies and organization that the Atlantic called "perhaps the most diverse collection of groups in the modern history of American politics."

But we're not done yet. Today, we're launching a campaign to call members of Congress. Can you help out?

We need you to make a quick call to ask your elected officials to investigate surveillance practices of the NSA and stop the illegal spying. A call will take you from 2 to 4 minutes -- and it can send a huge message to Congress.

We're teaming up with our friends from Fight for the Future to make it easy for you to demand reform. Here are three ways you can speak out. (Note: If you are outside of the United States you should go here to take our international alert: https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=9297)

1. Dial 1-STOP-323-NSA (1-786-732-3672). The automated system will connect you to your legislators. Urge them to provide public transparency about NSA spying and stop warrantless wiretapping on the communications of millions of ordinary Americans. Visit http://callday.org for more info.

Or...

2. Visit the EFF action center. We will look up the phone number of your elected officials.  Call them and tell them you oppose NSA's spying programs:
https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=9311

Phone calls can make a huge difference in Washington: we saw scores of lawmakers change positions in response to the call-in campaigns we organized during the SOPA fight. Let's repeat that victory by driving tons of phone calls to Congress today to stop NSA spying.

Thanks for helping us fight back against NSA spying. If you'd like to support our efforts to beat back invasive government surveillance, please become a member of EFF. We wouldn't exist without members like you: https://supporters.eff.org/donate/call-congress-oppose-nsa-spying
