Congressman Ron Paul has introduced a short, blunt piece of legislation to correct the abuses of the Bush administration and our all too willing Congress has imposed upon us.
It's a short, consice read which can be found here:

It would restore habeus corpus, make compliance with FISA mandatory, provide a challenge to "signing statements", bar torture, coerced evidence, journalist protections, etc.
We need to get our representatives on board with this legislation.
Naomi Wolf provides an in-depth analysis here:

Conservatives from Bruce Fein at http://www.americanfreedomagenda.org/
to Progressives at http://www.americanfreedomcampaign.org/ are supporting this bill. The netroots needs to get behind this.
Instead of constantly playing defense with every draconian piece of fecal matter that Reid and Pelosi allow to hit the Congressional and Senatorial floors, we can now play offense and pressure our elected reps {you know, the one's sworn to uphold the Constitution} to sign on to this legislation and make it a reality.
Isn't this what we've been waiting for ? Here's our opportunity.
