As many of you have already heard, the US Senate is planning on voting this week on S. 754, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA). This is a privacy-hostile cybersecurity bill that not only won't be effective as advertised in thwarting cyber-attacks, but de facto grants broad new mass data collection powers to many federal, as well as state and even local, government agencies.

Please take a moment to help us spread the word about CISA by posting one or two of the following tweets to your Twitter account and asking your committees, boards, followers, etc to retweet them (or to write their own tweet for the #StopCISA tag). The more noise we can make, the better!



*       Don't let Congress protect companies for actions that could cripple library computers & risk patron access #StopCISA<https://hootsuite.com/dashboard> http://ow.ly/QrfxC


*       Ready, fire...aim? Cyber bill could cripple library computers and compromise patron access. We need to #StopCISA<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23StopCISA> stopcyberspying.com<http://stopcyberspying.com/>


*       TRUE: CISA would allow companies to launch cyber-attacks on library computers! Tell your Senators to #StopCISA<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23StopCISA> stopcyberspying.com<http://stopcyberspying.com/>

These tweets will also be posted to the main ALA account<https://twitter.com/ALALibrary> and can be retweeted from there. You can find more information about CISA<http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/07/senate-cybersecurity-bill-attacks-civil-liberties/> on District Dispatch.

Thank you!
