Today, June 5, 2014 is designated as the first ever “Reset the Net” Day!  This is an organized effort to place emphasis on our Congress (House and Senate) that US Citizens do not want the government tracking and storing our data just because they may need it some time to solve some yet to take place crime.  The program supports warrants of surveillance being issued upon evidence approved by a judge that there is reason to suspect that specific data may solve a crime or prevent a crime in the planning stages from taking place.

Freedom from government encroaching unnecessarily in our lives is part of why our founding fathers formed our nation.  At the Constitutional Convention privacy and protection were key fundamental principles that they sought to protect for all generations.  Now is the time for Congress to act in the same spirit as the Constitutional Convention and establish workable protections that serve the needs of law enforcement and protect the privacy of law abiding citizens.

If you agree with this perspective on the net (including cell phones, text messages, Internet posts, and blogs like this one) let your Representatives and Senators know how you feel.  The only way laws will be enacted is if pressure is placed on our leaders to draft and enact them!
