It makes it more expensive to run this Stasi-like surveillance program.

You can use your argument to anything. E.g. what is your previous comment accomplishing?

My previous comment was describing my best guess to what information is run up the flagpole and to what end. These people think that PRISM stops terrorists you think a couple extra hundred dollars is going to convince them its not worth the effort.

I do not mean to be critical of the poster, any involvement is better than none. However I do not think the best path forward is acting as if something is being done when it is not is not.

I think that someone who can build a website like this could make a much more useful one. Instead of preaching to the choir preach to the unconverted (Elected Officials, Mom, Dad, Grocery Clerk). Let people submit address/zip and then return a phone script and the name/numbers of your senators and your representative. Or populate a pdf file with all the information so that someone can put it in an envelope, copy the address given and add a stamp
