Despite very little momentum in the Congress to pass meaningful NSA reforms, we have a golden opportunity here to kill one of the most onerous aspects of NSA surveillance of the general public.<\/p>\n<p>You can find your Senator&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/senators\/contact\/\">contact information here<\/a>, and below is a list of the 10 most important Senators to focus on, along with their contact information.
