Public Policy advocacy is not one of the objectives that the Foundation has chosen to measure with key performance indicator(s)? I would like to know why.
Or are you saying that suing the NSA isn't sufficiently proactive in this regard?
I thought that was good, but does filing one action with the judicial branch mean that the Foundation is no longer involved in the level of legislative advocacy which has historically been necessary to keep the community from losses to government abuse? The lawsuit will probably take many years. Meanwhile moral panic-wielding jingoists are likely to continue to try to push the same bills we've been fighting for years.
We know that the same dangerous bills are going to come up again and again. Will the Foundation stop fighting them just because the community has grown weary of talking about them?
