On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to support and cosponsor the Safeguarding Americans’ Private Records Act, H.R. 5675 and S. 3242. Introduced in the Senate by Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and in the House by Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), this legislation would reform Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act and other aspects of surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act (FISA) in order to protect Americans’ civil liberties and rights to due process and to increase transparency and oversight.

There is nearly universal agreement by legal scholars that impeachment and removal of a president is a solemn procedure that must not be a partisan attack for merely disliking the president and his administration. Our Constitution established the separation of powers and assigned separate and specific powers to the executive, Congress, and courts to check the potential abuses of power by the executive and other civil officials. Our Founders specifically rejected a parliamentary system in which parliament elects the executive and may remove the executive by a vote of no confidence.
