Tell Harry Reid: No Immunity for Lawbreaking Companies

The Senate is considering a bill that would grant immunity to any telecom company that assisted in the administration's illegal wiretapping. Chris Dodd promised to put a hold on any such bill, and Joe Biden and Barack Obama pledged to uphold it. We believe that any bill coming before the Senate that includes provisions for so-called 'amnesty' for large companies involved in illegally spying on Americans should be opposed, and have authored a letter to this effect addressed to Majority Leader Reid. You can co-sign it below. The letter will also be sent to Senate Democratic leadership and the Senate Judiciary Committee members. You can read the full text of the letter here:

2. I hope everyone signs this-they/we would all be in good company. nt

3. I will support any Dem who follows through on the mandate we have them. n/t

4. Harry R dosn't give a fuck what you think anymore than Nancy

Pelosi does or Dianne Lieberman does. They have either been blackmailed by BushCo or are making too much money off their defense contractor stocks. How many times do they have to betray you before you finally figure it out?

5. So let's just do nothing - that'll show him. nt

7. Well, Calling them does no good, camping in front of their house

does no good, If I could shave their hair I would. What do you suggest? We have already spelled out IMPEACH in thousands of human bodies, what else can we do? The only answer I see is to throw them out and elect true progressives like Cindy. If you are aware of an alternative that works, I'm all ears but I am not in a position to donate megabucks to "influence" my representative,

9. Signing that petition is a start; it's the least we can all do. Look,

I absolutely share your frustration, but throwing in the towel won't accomplish anything. You probably wouldn't be here if that's how you felt.
And if we get shot down, we keep trying. I don't see an alternative.

6. Shouldn't he be telling us? n/t

[babylonsister]

10. You're right, he should. But if he knows we're 'onto' him, he might

be more likely to vote with any kind of conscience he has left.
