If you, like me, think that giving telecom companies retroactive immunity for violating the law is a bad idea, now's the time to act. Tomorrow we're set for a show down in the Senate to either derail this terrible idea or let it through. Senator Patrick Leahy, one of my hero Senators has an e-mail form set up so you can bug your Senator: http://ga3.org/campaign/fisa
I encourage you to call, fax, send carrier pigeons, or what have you. I'm pretty sure that Durbin and Obama aren't going to support a cloture vote here, but for those of you in other states, now would be a good time to harass them. A couple critical Senators to target are:
Rockefeller, Feinstein, Johnson, Landrieu and Lincoln. I know a few of you live out in California, so please give Senator Feinstein a piece of your mind (politely, but firmly).
Okay, you may go back to your latte sipping or other liberal activities now :)
