Call House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes today
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 12:40 PM by bobthedrummer
let him know that you are against immunity for the telecom companies that were involved in the domestic surveillance programs that were conducted outside of FISA requirements.

Democracy for America is conducting a campaign to have citizens and voters call Rep. Reyes in his role of Chairman of the Intelligence Committee and not to let the telecom companies have immunity.

Last week Democrats blocked the attempt to provide immunity to the telecom companies involved, this week the Republicans (Chairman Reyes is a Republican from the 16th District of Texas) are trying to negate that.

Give Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes a call and let him know that you expect him to honor what happened last week when the Democrats denied the telecom companies immunity.

His DC Office number is (202) 225-7690 (alternative numbers 202 225-4831, 915 534-4400)

You can report how your call to Chairman Reyes went to Democracy for America
www.DemocracyforAmerica.com/ReyesCalls

Keep this kicked and call him today.

3. Give him a call regardless, like the 1758 other "peons" (so far) have mikelgb
let his office hear that, express yourself to the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee-a Texas Republican--but for now just call him and let him know that there should not be immunity for the telecoms that spied on US for the Decider.

9. On February 29, 2008 the Decider issued another Executive Order
(that basically consolidates his own version of Gestapo/POLITBURO) hiding it behind the shield of "national security" again-which is a crime in itself. Of course the telecoms and the smokescreen of FISA are part of the Decider's continuing assault on US, our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

CALL CHAIRMAN REYES TODAY!

10. While that son of a Bush, the Decider was "issuing" EO 13462 Feb. 29th
the Senate was holding hearings about intelligence community compliance with law and oversight.

Steven Aftergood was one of the experts testifying before the Senate Committee while the Decider was forging ahead with EO 13462 on February 29, 2008.

Here's an article about that testimony from the Federation of American Scientists/FAS web site-note the date, citizens.

"Aftergood Testifies on Government-wide Intelligence Community Reforms" (FAS 2-29-2008)

CALL CHAIRMAN REYES TODAY!

26. I incorrectly identified Reyes as a Republican-he is a Democrat.
I read the second paragraph of the Democracy for America email quickly and made the error. I apologize for any misunderstanding about that.

Here is that DFA second paragraph that messed me up.

"But Republicans want to bring immunity back to life and the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Silvestre Reyes (TX-16) said over the weekend he was ready to make the deal. We must stop him."

CALL CHAIRMAN REYES.

32. Phone lines are busy - here's the E-Mail for the Committee
The negotiations are going on behind closed doors and the phone lines are tied up but that doesn't mean you can't send the committee an E-Mail and let them know how you feel about giving immunity to the telecoms.
