3:53 | HarryWaisbren: Agreed we need to solidify communications. I had sent the email to the MyBo 3 days ago but it only just registered (not sure what's going on with it).FB I thought we had discussed that we were not doing messages or events. We should get more on the same page about how to use it to the fullest. Tuesday November 10, 20093:53HarryWaisbren |

3:58 | HarryWaisbren: You can continue to do so if you like. I think it's important to have very detailed notes from these calls (I've been using them a ton at least), and it'd be much more difficult to do both. Tuesday November 10, 20093:58HarryWaisbren |

4:01 | HarryWaisbren: Meeting agenda here:
Tuesday November 10, 20094:01HarryWaisbren |
4:03 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: small update. ACLU dot rights campaign is going to be releasing a video that ites governemtn surveilance to information corporations get about you from social networks Tuesday November 10, 20094:03HarryWaisbren |
4:04 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: I was at a califronai privacy coaltiion meeting yesterday, ran into someone from EFF who says they are pretty excited about what we are doing.Jon: a lot of awareness in general from privacy activists in general. Might do another training round for them, not necessarily focused on the patriot act, but building the skills in teh community as a whole Jon: very trickly. Lot of the organizations don't think they can weigh in on the patriot act because it's too much lobbying for them. Why we don't get as much attention on twitter etc. as we might. Jon: increasingly more willing to help, so encouraging Tuesday November 10, 20094:04HarryWaisbren |
4:04 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: one reason I sent link from the young turks last week was that I thought that might be a way to coax more people into GFR.Amy: I thought waht they did in terms of encouraging activism was very creative. Doing that on FB, I thought this was pretty cool Tuesday November 10, 20094:04HarryWaisbren |
4:05 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: I didn't have a chance to look at itAmy going to pull it into the chat Tuesday November 10, 20094:05HarryWaisbren |
4:05 | HarryWaisbren: I'm on young turks email list, they do great work distributing through new media.Can see them being the perfect media outlet to target Tuesday November 10, 20094:05HarryWaisbren |
4:06 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: they had me on Meet the Bloggers before.Harry: my former radio co-host has some ties to Cenk Uygar, can tap that Jon: sounds liek that jmps to the top of our media targetting list Tuesday November 10, 20094:06HarryWaisbren |
4:07 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: key challene is to keep the momentum going. Really successful chat last week, having people from CATO, EFF, AML, having so much value they came back the next day.Jon: great job everybody. Really powerful statement, showing where real interesting conersation is going on. Jon: of course the vote was real positive thing too. Now, going forward, how do we take this energy and turn it into a debate Tuesday November 10, 20094:07HarryWaisbren |
4:08 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: I have a question related to that. Did we actually have an impact this time?Jim: behaviro of hte congressmen was quite different ont he second day as opposed to the first Jim: first, lot of finger pointing. Second day, more ratioanl discussion. certainly disagreed with the toher side, but they were far more reasonable, discussion was more reasonable. We had been criticizing them. Not sure if we got to them, but something had an impact on them Tuesday November 10, 20094:08HarryWaisbren |
4:08 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: good point, I think we'll never know. Jon: the quickness of the reportoire on twitter, you can imagine staffers showing it to congersspeople, saying you don't want to be looking like this. So who knows. Tuesday November 10, 20094:08HarryWaisbren |
4:09 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: 4 of hte people missing from the second day of the HJC hearings, guess where they were? Wtih Michelle Bachmann at hte tea parties. Tuesday November 10, 20094:09HarryWaisbren |
4:09 |
Tuesday November 10, 20094:09jdp23 |
4:10 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: going forward, all I know about the legislative situation, Reyes amendmetn is being marked up in teh intelligence committeeJon: don't know about the jockeying between those two going forward. At privacy coalition meeting, discussion of how health care continues to suck all of the oxygen out of this issue Tuesday November 10, 20094:10HarryWaisbren |
4:10 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: in the senate, both the Leahy Feinstein bill and the Sessions bill (straight renewal, no safeguards) Tuesday November 10, 20094:10HarryWaisbren |
4:11 | HarryWaisbren: Brandon (?): FAC removes whatever Lieberman has. As a poll to make Leahy/Feinstein look like a compromise, not like the least protective one. Tuesday November 10, 20094:11HarryWaisbren |
4:11 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: JUSTICE was in there too, so much better Tuesday November 10, 20094:11HarryWaisbren |
4:11 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: waht do we want to do about this, what are we thinking Tuesday November 10, 20094:11HarryWaisbren |
4:12 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: take waht we know about these issues, and take it out of the legislative wonk level and bring it to a wider audience Tuesday November 10, 20094:12HarryWaisbren |
4:12 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: rihgt now, I'm hearing it, I'm not up to speed. Feeling like I can do some research, if I'm feeling this way, other people who coudl tune into what we are doing are woefully inadequate. Don't want to do that, not suggesting we mollify or simplify it Tuesday November 10, 20094:12HarryWaisbren |
4:13 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: have to cut to the core of something that is easy for people to grasp. From that, can be explored with as much complexity as needed, but does not confront peopel with bewildering complexityJon: crisp call to action Tuesday November 10, 20094:13HarryWaisbren |
4:13 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: I think ti has to be in terms of hte principles rather than the specific legislation.Jon: can see it in terms of our open letter. Waht do we want to ask Obama to do? Tuesday November 10, 20094:13HarryWaisbren |
4:13 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: in a way that doesn't sem incredibly tacticial Tuesday November 10, 20094:13HarryWaisbren |
4:14 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: if we were to summarize it, after the fact, one of hte individuals who make the suggestions in an executive summary. Little too formal considering we already have an established conversation thread iwth the Presidnet and his team, they know where we stnad.Jon: for anyone else though, not for Obama I think Jon: interesting way to thinka bout it,e veryone comign to this new, for them we need to surround the letter with the basics of the summary Tuesday November 10, 20094:14HarryWaisbren |
4:15 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: as this travels through congress, we want to buidl story lines that will both inform and engage.Jon: totally agree, keep going on this front. Is an important think. The civil liberties community as a whole really wrestles with this, these converasitons are really valuable Tuesday November 10, 20094:15HarryWaisbren |
4:15 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: parallel, the one show on NPR I look forward to everyday is the review of what will be on the SCOTUS docket every year. could look to waht is pending and try to undrstand it, but Mika Totenburg brings it home. That's my goal for what we are trying to do.Amy: it informs, it engages, and the second tier is that it buttons into the personal stories that reflect the aspects of the legsilation Tuesday November 10, 20094:15HarryWaisbren |
4:17 |
Tuesday November 10, 20094:17jdp23 |
4:18 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: Julian, you have been the most successful at engaging people. What is your perspective?Julian: one thing about hese stories, is one of our problem is the poeple whose stories we want to tell are mostly under gag order. Unaware they are being investigated. Julain: wondering if we don't have time to analagous to media. Lot of people maybe ont he left side who dont' necessairly care about this first and foremost, but if you say this is a grand jury subpoena but you could do this with a NSL and never know. Someone thought itw as a good idea to do this, swept in, got the whole list of people reading the site. Julian: things folks on the left coudl worrya bout. On the right, might help to remind people about what happened to Joe hte Plumber afte rhe rose to priminence. Poeple wtih access to his records dove through stuff, seing if he had paid child support, etc. in ways ot mock him Tuesday November 10, 20094:18HarryWaisbren |
4:19 | HarryWaisbren: Julian: not necessarily prime dnagers of NSLs, but theme that ties togehter to the zillion nibblign things they are tryign to do, is makign the distinction between when you actualy hvea connection to some real foreing intelligence target, or when you are getting stuff becasue it mgiht ehlpJulian: across the board, the immunizaiton stuff, and the stuff the administration is fighting. You can assemble fromt eh places where their objectison are, it is clear there is a rpogram basd ont ehw ay they are objecting, that requires essentially no restrictions on the acuqisiton and retention of stuff that htey know is not directly relevant to terrorism. Julian: some of these stories, the Joe the Plumber story, is the kind of thing you can use as a hook to this theme of "what happens when you let them build these databases that don't hae to have this conenciton, that can just be everyone" Tuesday November 10, 20094:19HarryWaisbren |
4:19 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: was a real impornatt point that came up during the harings, the framing that these wee all laws that let you surveil poeple who aren't terroristsJOn: much more straight fowradr proisions for the terrorists Tuesday November 10, 20094:19HarryWaisbren |
4:20 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: there were congersspoeple who clearly weren't clued into the distinctions btw those ont eh FBI lists and those who were speciically terorirsts.Amy: tryign to paint all 400,000 as potential terorrists Julian: we better hope to God there aren't 400,000 terrorists int eh country Tuesday November 10, 20094:20HarryWaisbren |
4:21 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: I wonder if this is a place to try to get the technical community involved to analyze this in more detail. worked very well int he voting rights area.Jon: talkign with CFP people last year, can we do analgogous issues. This could be a great topic for anotehr tweetchat Harry Tuesday November 10, 20094:21HarryWaisbren |
4:21 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: this ties into my post about "can we get fisa right" conclusiont aht we can'tJim: in the end, given the email technology, not so much the pohne stuff, but to do the things that traditioanlly spies ahve been able to do, they have to put togehter a tecnical system that includs stuff that willb e US persons or in the US who are protected Tuesday November 10, 20094:21HarryWaisbren |
4:22 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: are technical reasons whyt his ends up being enforced. Are the things that cause someone like Obama who has at least some civil libertarian instincts to be going in this really terrible directionJim: get presented iwth this concept that there is no choise. Not sure that given the technology that there is a choice Tuesday November 10, 20094:22HarryWaisbren |
4:22 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: I may be wrong about htis, but until we get some more technical people than me to kcik this around, I'm nto srue. Tuesday November 10, 20094:22HarryWaisbren |
4:22 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: focusing on the watch list can be good. Becasue of gag orders, to get to stories we need to broadne it anyways. No wis as good as any Tuesday November 10, 20094:22HarryWaisbren |
4:23 | HarryWaisbren: Mark: this is where the minimization stuff comes in. One thing to do the braodsweep, enter into the gray zone, get 400,000 innocent people swept up for a day. For a week. Mark: problem is waht do you do with it after you have culled this informaiton for which there is no technology I agree to discrminate initially, waht do you do ater you have all the innocent people? Mark: waht do you do with the data you have collected? Tuesday November 10, 20094:23HarryWaisbren |
4:24 | HarryWaisbren: Mark: on teh senate side, they were very hot to make sure the FBI and the NSC and so forth were required by law to dump that data on innocents Tuesday November 10, 20094:24HarryWaisbren |
4:25 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: I want to follow up on observation Julian started to make, assembld from their objectsion. In other words, the legislators tarryign form last week, is that what I infer correctly.Julian: not sure if I followed that Jon: inferring what's going on from the pattern int he small changes they are making Julian: you reminded me that one thing peopel react ot is total informaiton awareness. Feel like it's almost nonspeculative, not really hiding it that well. Can't if you are acting for legislative Tuesday November 10, 20094:25HarryWaisbren |
4:26 | HarryWaisbren: Julain: if we poitn to that, we can say that this is the superdatabase that hey obviously want to build. They don't want anything that would get into the way of that databaseJon: and may have built that already. And are defending it against discovery Amy: this week's news events, with Ft Hood, and FBi was aware that there were aberrations, and they sent it up the chain and did nothing, that points to the fact that htere are still holes in the system Tuesday November 10, 20094:26HarryWaisbren |
4:27 | HarryWaisbren: Harry: Marcy Wheeler posted about using Ft HOod as justiciation to get rid of lone wolfJulian: conyers sounded lik he woudl fold on that Julian: anything people coudl twist into what you are saying to say "they shoudlnt' ahve beenr eading his emails", yeah they shouldn't have, but I would be very careful about anythign that sounds like that Jon: not the time to be making that abstract point Tuesday November 10, 20094:27HarryWaisbren |
4:28 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: I think anyoen wh would come new into the organization might raise that question to smack back at us. Jon: good point, need to think through waht our position is on that Amy: I like the idea of using as one of the personal stoires that I keep goign back to, tryign to think inclusive. Tuesday November 10, 20094:28HarryWaisbren |
4:28 |
Tuesday November 10, 20094:28jdp23 |
4:29 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: (missed his name) privacy was violated, and what happened with that?Julian: mild reprimands, nothign very serious Jon: has anyone seen LAPD's I-watch? creepy ad, encouraging poeple to spy on their neighbors. Jon: heard the word creepy about that video from a bunch of peopel. How to associate some of that same kind of creepiness with the kind of powers that the govenrment has under the aptirot act Tuesday November 10, 20094:29HarryWaisbren |
4:29 |
Tuesday November 10, 20094:29jdp23 |
4:30 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: know that Bloomberg's administration ahve signs all over the city that say "if you see something say somethign" Tuesday November 10, 20094:30HarryWaisbren |
4:30 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: part of htis capmaign, not this similar, but wroded even more starkly than the NY campaign. Jon: there is an ad they are running in LA. Sent the video, wound up on Huffington Post. Really very Orwellian. Jon: wonder if htere is a way to remix some of that video with some other video stuff Tuesday November 10, 20094:30HarryWaisbren |
4:31 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: get to somethign that speaks to people emotiaonllyAmy: other than copyright violations, waht are you talking about? Jon: if we get sued by the LAPD we'll get some press Amy: not sure if we want to go that way Jon: we can get good advice on what is and isnt' permissable. could take 10-15 seconds of it. Tuesday November 10, 20094:31HarryWaisbren |
4:31 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: understand that London is one of hte most wired areas, and they feel it's appropritae since with the eye on teh world they have nailed some terrorists. Taht is liek big brohter, oepning discussion, how far do we go. Tuesday November 10, 20094:31HarryWaisbren |
4:32 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: what is too intrusive, so it will be a queery to introduce new members hwo come onJulian: the London thing is a great thing beacuse you point out and say "is this where we'll be in 2 years" or 5 years. Point there that some town council is having some woman survieled, it's really intensive I don't want to be hypoerbolic, but seeing if she idis sending her kids to the wrong school district. Julian: this is where you go if you dont' say stop Tuesday November 10, 20094:32HarryWaisbren |
4:33 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: great quote on the BBC the day after they shot that south american fellow. Chased him itno the tube, onto the tube, got him tot he gorund, shot him dead thinking he was a middle east terorrist. Swarthy, wearing a jacket on the wrong dayJim: interviewed a woman right htere when it happened. Said "sometimes we need to sacrifice our liberty ot protect our freedom" Amy: reminds me of the Ben Franklin quote Tuesday November 10, 20094:33HarryWaisbren |
4:33 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: this is sacrifice liberty for freedom Tuesday November 10, 20094:33HarryWaisbren |
4:33 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: good briansotmring. I think some promising directiosn come out of htat, will coem back when we do next steps at the end Tuesday November 10, 20094:33HarryWaisbren |

4:38 | HarryWaisbren: I like the comparison of the DHS right wing extremism report, that Obama would go after conservatives. They are petrified of that. Tuesday November 10, 20094:38HarryWaisbren |
4:39 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: I think the idea is to schedule a tweetchat on this. Pick a topic that is liekly to be of interset, that focuses on this area, likely to be of interest. Including you Kevin, someone else maybe. go at it for an hour or so.Jon: with an eye towards finding which stoires resonate, reach otu to others interested in this Tuesday November 10, 20094:39HarryWaisbren |

4:40 | Jim Burrows: Tuesday November 10, 20094:40Jim Burrows |
4:41 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: probably best thing to do is when we know when Julian/kevin can make it, set up a doodle poll to see the best of htose timesJon: and think about what we want the follow on chat to that. After, we start some activism stuff carnking up, will be asier to invite people on that as they would ahve had some expeience with tweetchats.

4:44 | Jim Burrows: H.R.984 - State Secret Protection Act of 2009Tuesday November 10, 20094:44Jim Burrows |
4:46 | HarryWaisbren: Julian: that's a good hook too, has to deal with the NSA lawsuit. So many peole got somewhat exciteda bout. Does tie into this idea that, the way this process has been workign has been opaque. Justie not taking position, open to things, doesn't want to be involved publiclyJulian: obviously behind the scenes. POliticians not coming up with this themselves. Julian: he doesn't have vaugest notion fo the tech that he's talking about. ovously saying things that were making it clear tha thtey were getting htis from justice or different ends ofhte administraiton Julian: secrecy seems like a big, kind of unifying concept here. Were not allowed to know, somethign going on that htey have to prevent all these chagnes. Dont' want to say outright what it is Tuesday November 10, 20094:46HarryWaisbren |

4:47 | HarryWaisbren: Julian: theme of a secret law, we don't get to know who influenced the law, don't get to know the secret reasons the law came to be this way. Just need to rustJulian: too many secrets, no good reason to trust Tuesday November 10, 20094:47HarryWaisbren |
4:47 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: doesn't that have to do more with At&T and verizon don't want to be sued into the gorund for invasion of privacy?Tuesday November 10, 20094:47HarryWaisbren |
4:48 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: is two fold, that's certainly a factor. Most of us think that a lot of politicains in both parties wound up colluding and really dont' want this to come out Tuesday November 10, 20094:48HarryWaisbren |
4:48 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: want to choke off by granting immunity, taking all tehse ases out, choke out discovery Tuesday November 10, 20094:48HarryWaisbren |

4:50 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: does it make sense int eh open letter ot be focusingin specifically on this?Jon: not like we can only write one open letter? maybe now is the time to focus down, get something on this sense of back door dealing?

4:54 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: if we shoot for that for next weds or thusday depneding on julian's and Kein's schedule?Jon: think about who else we want to have there, get the next event set up, get open letter finalized.

4:55 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: I like that idea. Engage the poeple who were not only retweeting as well as our core team.Jon: is it reasonable to expect a draft of hte open letter by the end of hte day thurdsay so we can get it out thursay afternoon/evening, so peopel can give feedback friday and over ht weekend? Tuesday November 10, 20094:55HarryWaisbren |

Weird thing of what CATO can do, is over my line Harry: I'll help, but key is getting new voices Jon: key is incoproating new voices. Take a pass, incorporate the thigns you think are strongset from vairous feedback so far Jon: also stuff in the open letter updates from Jeff on FB, Craig Nezor had good comments. Jon: probably enough to take anotehr pass. Have some poeple very helpful in doing an editing pass, do that in parallel with getting broader feedback Jim: I can ehlp a little on editing pass, but I have been shy on time. Amy: how about I take a pass at it. Seem to liek waht I did with it before Tuesday November 10, 20094:58HarryWaisbren |

5:03 | HarryWaisbren: Amy: I ahve been working iwth the twitter lists. Anyone not on it let me know and I"ll add you. Want to keep tabs of what we are discussing as the days go by so I can educate myself on what is importnat in yoru worlds.Jon: there are templates for allt eh come latelies, for all the poeple we need to reach Tuesday November 10, 20095:03HarryWaisbren |
5:04 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: Julian, do you know if anyone has done an analysis of the Reyes bill. Julian:... when that dorps they may do a more prose thing. Come a point, not htere yet, when our attention is going to have to pivot to making sure it's the hosue judiciary and not the intel house bill that gets to the floor and becomest he template Julian: coming ot hte point when we have to pivot to, tehse are thedifferences btw them. Makign that a central thing. Julian; if Reyes ends up the template in the house. I'm guessing it's goign to look a lot more like Leahy/Feinstein if not worse. Everything turns on a good house bill Tuesday November 10, 20095:04HarryWaisbren |
5:05 | HarryWaisbren: Jim: speaking of Leahy/Feinstein, need to be prepared for when that coes up. Don't want them tod ecide that hte thing to do is compromise with lieberman et al. Want other direction towards conyers Tuesday November 10, 20095:05HarryWaisbren |
5:07 | HarryWaisbren: Jon: alright all, excellent call. Great stuff. Keep up momentum, really exciting! Lot to do, and it's a good chance to get heard.Amy: I'm liking this, this is comign together. One last thoguht to share, again thinking of personal stories about bulding interest, really liek the idea of joe the plumber for two reasons. on teh right side and will bring in interesting balance of discussion. may not agree aht they have to say, but tha'ts my political opinion. Jon: it's a good point, will talk to some people on the legal side to see how well it relates, or does it take us in the wrong direction Amy: thinking on the ultra left side s Declaen, ont eh skewing middle to far right side is Joe the Plumber. think that's an interesting mix/blend, overarching issue of hta tis again what we're focused on, invasion of privacy, where we go with it, where we tink it's reasonable, what's unreasonable Amy: in summation. I think that's where we're going. Jon: it's distintly possible. Jon: http://www.mainjustice.com/2009/11/09/holder-backs-senate-bill-on-expiring-patriot-act-powers/ is important, shows Obama administration's perspective Harry: I'll be in toucha bout the open letter and tweetchat, thanks again everyone, this was a really great call! |
