'No Spy List' up and running

Rocky Mountain News
January 31, 2006

Don't want to have your phones tapped, your e-mails monitored, or your Google searches tracked by the National Security Agency?

Sign up for the "no spy list" - a creation of ProgressNow Action, a liberal internet group based in Colorado.

"It's like the no-call list," said Michael Huttner, executive director for ProgressNow Action. "We're looking to get people in every state to sign on."

Based on the "no-call" list, in which people can sign up to stop telemarketers from calling them, the "no spy" list is an online petition which provides a way for individuals to voice their concerns about the domestic spying that President Bush has authorized the NSA to conduct to combat terrorism.

Members of ProgressNow Action plan to take the names (or initials if people are paranoid about being identified) and their comments about the spying program to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will start holding hearings on NSA's activities next week.


To view the "No Spy" videoclip, log onto http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/group/ProgressTVVideoBlogs.

To sign up on the "no spy" list, go to http://www.progressnowaction.org/nospy.

1. DON'T DO IT! IT'S A TRICK!!!
By signing up for that list, the government assumes you have something to hide! What would stop the government from seizing the list and going "a-ha, we struck a gold mine here"?
