[Occupymendocino] Petition to stop NSA spying

[ELLEN ROSSER]

News that the NSA has the whole planet under
surveillance<http://codepink.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=sqLMN1lwysOzqd9w4dAVi2sdsl00U3wg>,
snooping in our phone calls, email and online activity set off
constitutional alarms. But here's another shock: the huge amount of tax
money flowing through the Pentagon budget to the NSA and its private
contractors!

We spy billions of dollars last year being paid to corporations like Edward
Snowden's former employer Booz Allen Hamilton. Booz got a whopping 99% of its
revenue<http://codepink.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=LS92W25jlXG6LIhUVeG63zRq1Oui86kq>
 from the federal government in fiscal 2013, supplying a powerful profit
motive to trample on our 4th amendment right to be free from search and
seizure without due process.  Massive spending on “security and
surveillance” since 9/11 has drained the Treasury while failing to prevent
tragedies like the Boston marathon bombing. Help us tell Booz that spying
on all Americans is unconstitutional and unacceptable by emailing the CEO
and other employees of Booz Allen
Hamilton<http://codepink.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2B6KwltUrRpBpDyP1TICdNWsdsl00U3wg>
.

How else could the $5.7 billion Booz got from U.S. taxpayers last year have
been better spent? Read CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin's great article
on 10 ways to reduce the terror threat against
Americans<http://codepink.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XFZrAjH7qnOK2bph2oNmpWsdsl00U3wg>
.

Push back against using U.S. tax dollars to fund the erosion of our
privacy! Send the CEO and other employees of Booz Allen a strong
message<http://codepink.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=OgafbTMl7csiei%2BGNGkeBmsdsl00U3wg>
.

We pledge to continue spying budget secrets, and shining the light on
spying contractors like Booz Allen.

Truthfully yours,
Alli, Amanda, Heidi, Kelleen, Janet, Jodie, Lisa, Medea, Nancy K, Nancy M,
Natalie, Noor, Roqayah, Sergei, and Tighe
