<div><strong>Raise Your Voice: Meet your representatives in DC Jan. 27th (Thursday)</strong></div>
<div>eSince 2001, the USA PATRIOT Act has enabled our government to intrude on your privacy and violate your fundamental constitutional rights. And since then, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee has helped organize concerned Americans from all walks of life in the struggle for transparency and civil liberties.</div>
<div><br>That struggle continues in 2011, and we invite you to join us in Washington on Thursday, January 27.</div>
<div><br>Last year, BORDC supporters gathered in DC and met with members of Congress, encouraging them to stand up for civil liberties and the rule of law. With the PATRIOT Act up for reauthorization once again in February 2011, we’ll be back at the Capitol on January 27--and we hope you'll be there with us.<br>
Join BORDC and our allies for a grassroots lobby day on Capitol Hill on January 27, 2011. Help us flood the halls of Congress and bring your concerns--about abuses of national security letters, surveillance of peaceful activist groups, virtual strip searches at the nation's airports, and more--to your senators and representative.</div>
<div><br>Will you join us on January 27?</div>
<div><br>The lobby day will include a morning briefing, meetings with your senators and representative, and an afternoon debrief.<br>Come to Washington and show your elected leaders just how important it is to you, their constituents, that they stand up for your constitutional rights. We’ll be in touch shortly to give you details on the day's events and help you schedule meetings with your members of Congress.<br>
We look forward to seeing you in our nation's capital on January 27!</div>
<div><br>Shahid Buttar<br>Executive Director</div>
<div><br>P.S. If you can’t make it to DC, you can still support our efforts.</div>
