Senate votes to block TIA!

The US Senate voted to block the Total Information Awareness program!
The Senate accepted the Wyden amendment to the omnibus spending bill. The amendment requires the administration to report on the impact of the TIA on privacy, and requires Congress to vote again about whether to appropriate money for TIA.
The next step is to make sure the amendment is included in the compromise bill that will reconcile the Senate and House spending bills.
So read up at the Center for Democracy and Technology, and call your Congressperson.
Democracy works when we use it!
