A bipartisan-sponsored bill has been proposed to the United States House of Representatives, titled (accurately, for once) the "Surveillance State Repeal Act".

The bill (full text [PDF]) would completely repeal the Patriot Act and FISA Amendment Act, destroy most of the collected data, require warrants for all surveillance of Americans, forbid the government from requiring backdoors in hardware or software, and create a whistle-blowing immunity for reporting violations. Needless to say, this seems like a big step in the right direction.

I have already contacted my representative, and you may wish to do the same.
