        Now is the time for librarians and others on the front lines
fighting for privacy and civil liberties to heed ALA President Courtney
Young's call to "Advocate. Today.” - and we do mean *today*.

Here's the situation:

Thanks to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senators will cast a key vote
on Tuesday afternoon that is, in effect, "do or die" for meaningful USA
PATRIOT Act reform in the few remaining weeks of the “lame duck” Congress.
If Senators Reid and Patrick Leahy can't muster 60 votes on Tuesday to
bring Senator Leahy’s USA FREEDOM Act

(S. 2685

to the floor, then the overwhelming odds are that another bill nearly as
good won’t have a prayer of passage for many years. Sadly, it’s not at all
certain that 60 Senators are leaning in that direction.
