In response to the continued revelations into ever-expanding government domestic spying, today a group of 86 organizations, including ourselves, Free Press, the EFF, Mozilla and others, have joined forces in Voltron-esque fashion to form StopWatching.Us. StopWatching.Us is a campaign "calling on citizens and organizations from around the world to demand a full accounting of the extent to which our online data, communications and interactions are being monitored."

The campaign calls for a congressional investigatory committee, similar to the Church Committee of the 1970s, to investigate the NSA's violations of the Constitution and endlessly-expanding surveillance of American citizens. Users can use this automated letter to contact their represenatatives, urging them to stop being blindly complacent and begin holding government violators accountable.

Stating that the NSA's behavior "strikes at bedrock American values of freedom and privacy," the group calls on government to specifically:

•Enact reform this Congress to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the state secrets privilege, and the FISA Amendments Act to make clear that blanket surveillance of the Internet activity and phone records of any person residing in the U.S. is prohibited by law and that violations can be reviewed in adversarial proceedings before a public court;

•Create a special committee to investigate, report, and reveal to the public the extent of this domestic spying. This committee should create specific recommendations for legal and regulatory reform to end unconstitutional surveillance;

•Hold accountable those public officials who are found to be responsible for this unconstitutional surveillance.
