  • I'm working on a campaign to prevent the reauthorization of Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act.  Section 215 "gives the FBI virtually unlimited access to... bookstore and library records" and has caused tremendous concern among booksellers and bookstore customers, librarians and library patrons, and readers across the nation.  As you may know, four sections of the PATRIOT Act, including Section 215, are sunsetting this year.  This is a crucial opportunity not only to protect reader privacy and halt the chilling effect Section 215 has on free speech, but also to chip away at the PATRIOT Act, in hopes that one day it will no longer give the government a frightening amount of power and in doing, grossly threaten civil liberties in America.

    Please go here and sign the Campaign for Reader Privacy petition against the reauthorization of Section 215.  Last year, we collected approximately 200,000 signatures in bookstores and are renewing and broadening our drive in order to present the signatures to Congress prior to the reauthorization vote.

    Please support the Campaign for Reader Privacy!  Signing the petition takes just a few seconds!
