I think begging elected representatives to acknowledge your rights is 
generally a waste of time, especially when there is powerful or ingrained 
opposition.  The Civil Rights movement got nowhere until there was massive 
civil disobedience.  Widespread deployment of generic and otherwise 
acceptable technologies that can be re-targeted for end-user controlled 
privacy (not what governments would like to see, which is privacy mediated 
by corporations, licensed professionals or other regulated entities they 
can easily pressure) and/or insistence of powerful and wealthy individuals 
that they have the privacy they deserve and get it in such a way as its 
easily unavailable to the average citizen.
