Subject: Big Brother Is Watching... Stop the federal government from

tracking your Internet usage

Today's message is sponsored by The Washington Times Weekly Edition.

ISSUE: Although it's a violation of government regulations,

64 federal government web sites are tracking their visitors... and not

just what they do within the government sites, but what visitors do

after they leave as well.

If you visited, say, the Department of the Treasury site to look for tax

forms for the IRS, and then went shopping at an e-commerce site, chances

are the government knows what you did and has recorded it.

And in one case, a private-sector contractor was given ownership of all

the information collected from a government web site.

ACTION ITEM: Sign the Petitions to President W. Bush, Vice

President Dick Cheney, and Office of Management and Budget Director

Mitch s:

A federal post was created last year to make sure federal agencies

adhere to privacy policies, such as the one forbidding government web

sites from collecting information about users. But President Bush has

yet to fill this position.

Sign the Petition, asking that the Bush Administration make it a top

priority to fill this position and that everything possible is done to

safeguard the Fourth Amendment (protecting our right against unwarranted

government intrusion) by eliminating government monitoring of private

citizens' Internet activity.
