Related to this is the "Reform ECPA: Tell the Government to Get a Warrant” petition - https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/reform-ecpa-tell-government-get-warrant/nq258dxk

"We call on the Obama Administration to support ECPA reform and to reject any special rules that would force online service providers to disclose our email without a warrant."

If you are a US person, you can sign this and try reform the Electronic Communications Privacy Act
