Okay, folks, the ACLU said they were working with the House ProgDems on a better FISA bill than the RESTORE Act, and here it is!

From the ACLU's "FISA Flood" website:

The most effective calls to Congress are polite, respectful and clearly state what you’re asking your Member of Congress to do. Here are some talking points for your phone call:

Only pass a FISA modernization bill that has individualized warrants for people in the United States.

Blanket or program "warrants" that allow the government to vacuum up the international telephone calls and emails of Americans aren’t really warrants at all, and they aren’t constitutional.

Please support H.R. 3782, "the FISA Modernization Act of 2007," introduced by Representative Rush Holt, instead of H.R. 3773, "the RESTORE Act."

Americans are looking to Congress to stand up to the Bush Administration, not cave into threats of being labeled soft on terrorism.

You heard 'em. You know what to do. Go!
