Another letter to sign! Our last letter to Secretary O'Neill was a brilliant success with a lot of press attention and the Free Congress Foundation would like to thank all the organizations who signed it. In the fight to protect privacy, House Majority Leader Dick Armey is a major player and very much deserves our support and appreciation. Individuals are welcome to write Mr. Armey personally, but I am looking for organizations who would like to sign the following letter. Please respond to me by 10:00 am on Monday July 2nd, with your name, title, and organization. Thank you for your interest and participation! The Honorable Richard K. Armey Office of the Majority Leader U.S. Capitol H327A Washington, D.C. 20515 July 3, 2001 Dear Mr. Armey, Thank you for your continued leadership and example on protecting the personal privacy of Americans. As members of organizations committed to protecting privacy, we support your efforts to ensure that our Constitutional rights and liberties are protected. As you know, many federal government policies are fraught with privacy abuses. We commend your leadership on these issues such as Carnivore (DSC1000), FIDNet, Know Your Customer, thermal imaging, surveillance cameras, civil asset forfeiture, etc. The following organizations support your efforts in continuing to expose and resolve some of these government abuses of privacy. The recent decision from the Supreme Court regarding the use of thermal imaging plays a vital role in the equation, as privacy may be violated in the name of the drug war. Carnivore is not only a frightening beast, but also one that needs to be closely watched because of the horrifying ramifications its use would have upon the personal lives of our fellow Americans. As we approach our celebrations for our nation's Independence, we are reminded of our country's leaders who fight to defend our rights. This fight is a noble one, and we recognize your leadership in this never-ending struggle. With changes in technology increasing at such a rapid pace, we are pleased to have someone who understands its potential problems and is willing to take a stand to address them to the protection of our Constitutional liberties.
