Tell Harry Reid No Immunity For The Telecommunications Companies
He doesn't have an E-Mail but he does have this electronic means of contact:

http://reid.senate.gov/contact/email_form.cfm

Please contact him and demand that there be no immunity for the telecommunications companies who assisted the Bush Administration in illegally spying on Americans.

Do it now, please.

2. That wimpy asshole doesn't listen to anyone...
Wait until the next election and put someone else in as leader. That seems to be our only option. If we can find someone with the balls to challenge him?

4. Agreed, but every one of those assholes counts E-Mails and Phone Calls
They don't much give a good god dam what you have to say, but they do count calls in favor of and against everything and they do the same with E-Mails. That is all you can hope for, to be the straw that broke that asshat's back.

FAX, that way it doesn't automatically get thrown in the circular file because it isn't from someone in his state. Done!

5. Might as well piss up a rope...
for all the good it'll do. Harry isn't interested in conducting the peoples' business. He's interested in assuring expanding profitability, while limiting legal exposure, for his employers in corporate America.

This time, the beneficiaries are the telecoms; next time they might be mine owners or meat packers or casino operators. The only truly safe bet it that it's not going to be you or me.

6. Why not the White House instead?
Bombard the White House with faxed photocopies. They become public property and permanent records of government, so ...

Sit on the copier first. Then write on the copy, "Wiretap this!"
or "Search HERE!" (or, "I was searched HERE thrice!" :rofl: ) and FAX it to the WH!

13. What does the White House favor? Telecom Immunity. Tell them NO!
Why not let them know what the People think?

12. Reid only listens to the DLC.
He doesn't give a damn about what the people of this country want.
