DailyKos was founded in a spirit of resistance to the Bush agenda. We have a chance this week to undo part of that legacy, and return us to a better and more constitutional path.
Fight for the Future, Demand Progress, Restore The Fourth and other groups are organizing vigils across the country at Senators' offices tonight. The Senate will vote Saturday on whether to renew the infamous Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, which has been (mis)used to allow mass metadata surveillance on Americans. If the Senate doesn't vote to renew it, it will be a defeat for the NSA.
I, for one, can't wait. I and my friends have been working up to this week for six months now. I'm a longtime Kossack, and the national chair of Restore The Fourth. When we started, very few people thought we had a prayer of actually getting these powers to sunset. Now we have a real shot, and I urge you to join one of the vigils below - we'll be in 50 cities - let your friends know too - and call your Senators to ask them to let Section 215 die.
