FREEDOM NOT FEAR DAY WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES
OCTOBER 11, 2008

In recognition of October 11, Freedom not Fear Day, many organizations
in the United States set out the following recommendations:

   * End Watch Lists, Fusion Centers and other data profiling programs
that fail to comply with the full requirements of the federal Privacy Act;

   * Affirm international human rights, including freedom of expression
and privacy protectionm so as to strengthen democractic institutions and
protect the rights of individuals;

   * Repeal the Patriot Act and other legal authorities that permit
warrantless surveillance and unconstitutional monitoring and tracking of
individuals;

   * End the culture of secrecy that allows government officials to
hide mismanagement, fraud, and incompetence behind the veil of "homeland
security";

   * Establish comprehensive data protection legislation that will
safeguard personal information and reduce the risk of identity theft and
security breaches.


We, the undersigned organizations, join in support of Freedom not Fear
International action day:

   * Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
   * Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)
   * IP Justice


We are seeking sign on from individual organizations until October 11,
