Act Now: Tell Congress NO backroom deals on telecom immunity
May 13, 2008 03:58 PM

From ACLU National:

Late Friday night, the ACLU caught wind of a dangerous backroom deal brewing. The "deal" would rush a House vote that would push through a dangerous sellout on government spying powers, possibly in the next few days.

We need you to immediately contact your member of Congress. Let your representative know you're watching and expect him or her to stand firm. That means no immunity for lawbreaking phone and internet companies, and no spying on Americans without a warrant.

Contact your US Representative today and let them know - NO warrantless wiretapping and NO telecom immunity.

We did it before - Congress heard us loud and clear last time. Now they need a reminder. The Capitol Hill switchboard is (202)224-3121. Don't allow this dangerous legislation to move forward!
