A coalition of 25 various organizations led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) recently graded elected officials in Washington, D.C. on the extent to which they are pushing for real surveillance reform.  From the coalition’s website:

We are calling on the United States government to:

• Pass strong legislative reform to outlaw mass surveillance, including phone record surveillance and Internet surveillance. This must include a recognition of the privacy rights of non-US citizens.
• Reform the FISA court, the secret court that signs off on the NSA’s secret surveillance. FISA court reform includes transparency into any significant or new legal interpretations made by court and ensuring a well-resourced public advocate is in place to argue for privacy rights within the court and seek further review.
• Prohibit the NSA from undermining international encryption technologies and standards and hacking into technology companies.
• Promote transparency, publish transparency reports, and also give companies rights to publish granular accounts about how companies cooperate with bulk surveillance efforts and the number of user accounts that are affected.

Congress hasn’t acted on all of these issues recently, so I’d think of it as more of a mid-term report card.  The methodology for the report card can be seen at the coalition’s web site.  The Senate hasn’t voted on any related measures, so neither Sen. Thune and Sen. Johnson were graded.
