ACLU - Act Now: Stop Secret Spying Deal

[tbyg52]

House leadership is on the precipice of caving in and handing over everything the President has demanded: expanded surveillance powers, and immunity for big phone companies that broke the law. Help stop them.

Your member of Congress needs to hear that there will be a major backlash if he or she caves on FISA. Take action today and let your representative know you are watching (we'll also copy House Speaker Nancy Pelosi). Or, read more first.

6. Done and "Your message has been sent. Can you follow-up with

a phone call?

We have achieved breakthrough victories on FISA because you and other ACLU activists refused to yield. Even if your representaive has been good on this issue before, a phone call will go a long way to make sure he or she stands firm.

When you call, be sure to mention that you are a constituent calling about FISA, and your representative to do these three things:

Reject backroom deals on telecom immunity. Lawsuits may be our only chance to expose the truth about illegal spying activities by telecom companies and the Bush administration.

Reject backroom deals that steal our freedom and undermine the rule of law in reaction to election year fear-mongering. A bill with real judicial review and no telecom immunity should be the floor, not the ceiling of negotiations.

Reject backroom deals that give Bush new powers to spy on Americans without a warrant.

Please also call House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer at [phone], and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at [phone] or [phone]. They need to know that as leaders in the House, voters expect them to:

Reject any compromise with telecom immunity. Lawsuits may be our only chance to expose the truth about illegal spying activities by telecom companies and the Bush administration.

Reject Bush’s election year fear-mongering. A bill with real judicial review and no telecom immunity should be the floor, not the ceiling of negotiations."
