Don't let Congress cover-up illegal spying on Americans

Take Action Now

This Thursday, the House of Representatives is expected to hand phone companies a get-out-of-jail-free card for illegally turning over your private phone records to the government. I don’t have to tell you how wrong this is.

We have 48 hours to stop them. Tell Representative that you oppose any effort to cover-up illegal spying on Americans. We will deliver the letter before Thursday's vote.

Tell your Representative: No Cover Up

This is vital to protecting your basic right to make a phone call, send an e-mail or search the Internet without the government monitoring your activity.

After intense lobbying by AT&T, Verizon and the Bush White House, the Senate has already signed off on immunity for these companies. If the House passes the FISA bill this week, more than 40 legitimate lawsuits currently pending against phone companies will disappear before they've begun.

Americans have had their rights violated, and now Congress may pass a bill that gives us no legal remedy. When you are accused of breaking the law, you should have your day in court. Neither the phone companies nor this White House is above the law.

By signing this letter you are calling upon both your representative and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to stand firmly beside the American public and against the destruction of the rule of law.

Tell your Representative: Don’t Surrender Our Civil Liberties

Please sign the letter to Congress and then forward this email to your friends.

It is time for profound change in this country. It starts with our representatives standing their ground over Americans' basic liberties and the rule of law. Tell them that the era of kowtowing to the White House and corporate lobbyists is over.

Thank you,

Josh Silver
Executive Director
