>> The United States Pirate Party condemns the actions of the Foreign
>> Intelligence Surveillance Court and the NSA for infringing on the
>> privacy of American citizens and peoples abroad. The
>> USPP demands that future FISA court orders are reasonably limited

>> "American citizens as well as individual members of the international
>> community have been robbed of their privacies by the United States
>> Government over the past two decades," says Captain Lindsay-Anne
>> Brunner. "These issues that the mainstream press are suddenly talking
>> about are in no way isolated, random instances, and should not
>> be recognized as such. The American people need to put immense
>> pressure on their legislators to enact laws
>> preventing further gross violation of privacies by this government."
>>
>> It has also come to light that the FBI and NSA have been
>> indiscriminately mining user data from several websites run by US
>> companies in a series of acts that violate the privacy of millions of
>> people worldwide. This program, known publicly as PRISM, has been
>> going on unchecked by the public eye, and the USPP demands this
>> rampant violation of privacy stop. A government actively spying on
>> its own citizens is unconscionable and not representative of the
>> democratic nature of this country.
>>
>> The United States Pirate Party calls upon Congress to investigate
>> these crimes carefully and make use of the checks and balances that
>> the Framers gave them by passing comprehensive legislation to
>> stop the systematic practice of the United States Government spying
>> on its own people. We ask that Congress help
>> us re-affirm privacy as a human and constitutional right.
