ACLU-NM Friends,

It’s all over the national media that the National Security Agency is data mining millions of private citizens’ phone records. No one likes it.

But what can we do about it?

File a complaint about this assault on our privacy in two important ways:

(1) Go to http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/consumers/pdf/utilitiescomplaint.pdf and download the New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission Informal Complaint. Return it to:

Public Regulatory Commission
P.O. Box 1269
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87504

or FAX it to #505.827.4463. (The PRC regulates telephone service.)

(2) Go to www.aclu.org/dontspy and file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.

Tell them you know what the telephone companies are doing are doing, and that you know it is both a violation of customer trust and a violation of the law. It violates our expectation that the government will not pry into our lives without probable cause.

It is not up to AT&T or Verizon or any other phone company to decide what the government gets to see about our medical calls, our professional or very personal calls.

We can stop this illegal spying now. But they won’t stop if we don’t tell them.
So tell them. Today.
