If you're wondering what the hell it is I'm doing this summer, NPR has a great feature on EFF. It's about four minutes long, and explains our organization's mandate, as well as going through some of the major cases with which we've been involved.
Today I went to a hearing on the AT&T/NSA wiretapping case before Judge Vaughn Walker in the Northern District of California. Among other things, we were arguing against the government's right to invoke the "state secrets privilege" to avoid judicial scrutiny of illegal executive action. EFF is arguing on behalf of consumers whose private phone calls have been intercepted by the NSA as part of Bush's wiretapping program.
It's nice being involved in real issues that I care so much about. And if you don't care about these issues, then you're not paying enough attention. Join EFF if you're not already a member. You get stickers and shit, and depending on which level you donate, you might also get a t-shirt and some other random goodies. Plus you help out with, like, freedom and stuff.

Jesus Christ--some people are doing really amazing, important work this summer. I've been following that case, and I knew EFF was involved. Kudos on the good work.
