There's still time to fix FISA and do it the right way -- providing the balance we need to protect national security, preserve civil liberties, and refuse retroactive immunity to phone companies who went along with Bush-Cheney Administration lawbreaking.  But I need you to join me in speaking out, right now, to make sure we get a fair FISA bill.

Join %adv-participants-fisa% Americans: Forward an email to your home state Senators and Representative now, urging them to keep working until we get a fair FISA bill!   

Sincerely,

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I support Senator Patrick Leahy's efforts to improve the new FISA bill. I strongly support surveillance targeting foreign threats and terrorists who wish to do us harm -- but we must take care to protect Americans' liberties in the process.

In addition, I oppose the Bush-Cheney Administration's efforts to grant blanket retroactive immunity to telecom companies who supported the Administration's warrantless wiretap program, in violation of FISA. No one -- no citizen, no company, no Senator, and no President -- is above the law. By offering blanket immunity to telecom companies, the Administration is trying to avoid accountability -- and that is unacceptable.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
