California’s Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare: it would let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Y'all, remember when people freaked out over Mozilla changing their TOU (but not their Privacy Policy)? This bill is the pro-corporate, ultracapitalist, "hold my beer" version of that change, and it could be enshrined into law.

If you live in California, call your state reps (i.e. don't just email or write a letter). Tell them to vote no on this blatant privacy violation.

ETA: this is a bipartisan bill. If you have a Democratic rep, don't just assume they'll vote against it. Call them, too!

Its easy to call! You just get some intern on the phone or their voice mailbox. You say something like, "Hi, my name is whatever, I'm calling from wherever, I want to encourage [politicians name] to oppose Senate bill 690, the corporate cover up act. Please protect my privacy." And then they say, "OK, how do you spell your last name? Thanks for calling"

Its not hard to do. The government feels crazier than ever. Make your voice heard!

Once you've done this, you'll realize that it's also easy to call your congress and house of rep members to encourage them to oppose attacking Iran.
