OPPOSE the Intel-passed S. 2248

The terrible Intelligence Committee-passed version of the FISA Amendments Act — S. 2248 — is back, and it's being debated on the Senate floor RIGHT NOW.

If you care about your civil liberties … your right not to be spied on without a warrant … and accountability for the Bush administration's illegal wiretapping and the telecommunications companies that helped carry it out, the time to act is now.

We're partnering with our allies at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to offer you a more creative way to tell your Senators to OPPOSE the Intel-passed S. 2248, which includes retroactive immunity for the telecom companies.

Check it out and please take part at http://www.StopTheSpying.org

Retroactive immunity for the telecom companies is really just a roundabout way of granting retroactive immunity to the Bush administration. It would effectively pull the plug on litigation that site cialis promises to shed light on the extent of the administration's lawbreaking, and it would set a dangerous precedent.

Over the next few days, People For, EFF and our friends will be lobbying intensely to stop any version of FISA reform legislation that grants retroactive telecom immunity. We can't fly you out to Washington to lobby your Senators directly, but we can take them your message, in your words, spoken in your voice or accompanied by your photo — hopefully this is the next best thing.

Got a webcam or a video camera? Got a regular camera or even just a camera on your cell phone? Then add to our efforts to use technology to bring constituent contact to the next level.
