  PATRIOT Act renewal ahead--Act now

Dear Robert,

It's been too long since those of us who care about civil rights and civil
liberties saw Congress take seriously its oath to defend the Constitution.
But we have a chance this month.

*[image: Constitution]The PATRIOT Act*, which was recently extended, *will
be up for debate again before the end of May*, when it expires. PDA and our
allies at Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC) encourage you to contact
your congressional representatives to arrange meetings while they're home
during the recess. Congress reconvenes on May 2; please make your
appointment soon <http://www.pdamerica.org/m/c/mxtvwmfc/35qgz2fp/k3kmhnfl>.

This is an opportunity for you to make a difference—not just on stopping
abuses under the Patriot Act, but also to *support the affirmative reforms
of the JUSTICE Act*—which would end mass dragnet surveillance by the NSA,
stop the FBI's persecution of peace activists, and restore civil rights for
vulnerable communities exposed to ideological profiling. You'll find more
information here:

   - See Helpful Hints for Congressional Office
Visits<http://www.pdamerica.org/m/c/mxtvwmfc/35qgz2fp/f4s55wj2>

 Please share this opportunity with other activists concerned about
constitutional rights. It's important that our congressional representatives
know that *We the People still care about the Constitution* and want them to
check and balance the executive branch to preserve our rights and liberties.

In solidarity,

Tim Carpenter
PDA National Director
