Friend- Happy Monday. We have two exciting bits of news for you: With the support of thousands of Demand Progress activists and others, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a major surveillance reform measure late last week: WASHINGTON POST: "House votes to rein in NSA `back door' surveillance powers" If the language makes it through the Senate, this amendment would ban the NSA from conducting warrantless searches of of Americans' communications. Since the Snowden leaks, Demand Progress has helped lead surveillance reform efforts, organizing campaigns that have driven more than 100,000 phone calls and hundreds of thousands of emails to lawmakers, and working the halls of Congress week-in and week-out. This win signals continued drive for reform -- not just by millions of activists, but even by federal lawmakers. That's huge. And that brings us to our second exciting piece of news: There's an easy and *FREE* way that you can help support our important ongoing work this month so that we can achieve more victories like this one. We have been selected as one of three nonprofit groups that will receive funds from CREDO this month. How much we get depends on you. CREDO is a progressive activist network and a provider of mobile and long distance phone services, as well as the CREDO credit card. They donate a portion of their revenue to a wide range of nonprofit groups. Last year they raised $2.6 million and, since 1985, CREDO has raised more than $76 million. Each month, they ask CREDO/Working Assets customers and CREDO Action members to vote for the groups they think should receive the funding. This is where you come in. The more votes we receive, the greater our share of funding. Voting is easy, free and an effective way to support us.
