Of all the privacy laws on the books, one of the most absurd is the federal law known as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Passed in 1986, the law defies the Constitution and commonsense - it says the government can access emails without a warrant just because they’re over 180 days old! This is in clear violation of the Fourth Amendment.

However, the Montana Senate and Governor have a chance to fix this. This Friday, the Senate is holding a hearing on a bill to end warrantless email snooping, and we need your support to make sure it passes.

Tell Montana Governor Bullock to support Fourth Amendment rights.

The bill, known as HB 444, would require the government to get a warrant if it wants to read your emails - just like the government needs a warrant to read your postal mail. It’s about time the law caught up with technology.

Montana has a chance to be a national leader by passing this bill. Will you sign this petition and email Governor Bullock's office to let him know you support HB 444 - and you want him to do the same?

Our Fourth Amendment protections should be upheld online and off. Please support HB 444 to ensure government can’t access our email without a warrant.
