From Working Assetts:
We've just learned that Senate leaders are now rushing to pass bad legislation -- legislation that gives retroactive immunity to telecom companies that helped the Bush Administration break the law and spy illegally on Americans. Will you contact your senators today and urge them to stop this legislation immediately?
Tell your senators to uphold their oath of office: no retroactive immunity and no warrantless wiretapping.
CREDO members have already sent over 68,000 emails to Senators Clinton, McCain, and Obama this week, asking them to say no to retroactive immunity and any laws that make it easier for the government to invade your privacy.
But now the fight is moving to the Senate floor. Bush and his allies have made it crystal clear that they will allow legislation designed to allow surveillance of terrorists to die unless that bill protects AT&T and Verizon. We need every senator possible to stand up against the Bush Administration and the telecom companies. Remind them once again to do their jobs, before they cravenly throw the rule of law out the window just because they're afraid of what their opponent's next attack ad will say.
This may be our last chance to stop warrantless wiretapping and retroactive immunity. Please take action today.
