I'm attaching a PDF version of the letter to Congress with the 155
endorsements that we now have. If any last-minute endorsements are
posted online, please CC them to me as well so that I can update the
PDF.<br>
<br>
Please also identify whether you are interested in being listed as a
contact person for any follow-up communications (the four given in
the draft below are arbitrarily chosen to represent a few major
regions). Here is a suggested covering email:<br>

Dear Senators and Representatives,<br>
<br>
We write as a coalition of civil society groups from around the
world, who work towards the promotion of human rights on the
Internet.<br>
<br>
We attach a letter, endorsed by 155 organisations and individuals,
expressing in the most serious terms our alarm at revelations of
Internet and telephone communications surveillance of US and non-US
citizens by the US government.<br>
<br>
For further enquiries or follow-up, representatives of a number of
the endorsing organisations are at your service:<br>
