What peculiar timing! Sometime today or tomorrow, while most of the citizens of the US are distracted by the primary elections, our Senators are going to vote on the FISA bill and telecom immunity. Maybe they think it'll be easier to slip it by us while we're all busy hitting the reload button?
Let's turn this logic around on them: Every time you check Daily Kos today, call one of the Senators on the list below. Or call one of your own Senators. Tell them that you want them to respect our legal traditions. Tell them you think retroactive immunity is immoral, and bad politics as well. Tell them No on telecomm immunity. Tell them No on "basket" warrants and reverse targeting. Remind them that the FISA court exists for a reason. Tell them that dangerous, experimental laws should have a sunset clause.
And don't forget to tell them you voted.
