Call Congress! Stop FISA

Dear ACLU Supporter,
Despite the outrage coming from a broad coalition of concerned
citizens (1), by tomorrow night the House of Representatives will vote on
whether or not to gut the Constitution and give immunity to phone companies who broke the law
and spied on Americans.
We have to act now. Even if you've emailed, called or visited
your members of Congress about FISA, we need you to contact them again today. Go to:
http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=xZWm0jV8sBuSvfWy3OxOXA..
Congress is moving so fast and so secretively that we only got a copy
of this bill this morning. I can tell you it's horrible. It
contains vacuum cleaner style surveillance that sweeps up the phone
calls and emails of Americans. And it's blatantly
unconstitutional.
The bottom line is that this is legislation that benefits a few of our
country's largest corporations while taking away basic rights
from the rest of us. And it is unacceptable.
I'm going to spend the rest of the day on the phone calling
Capitol Hill trying to stop this bill. I hope you will spend whatever
time you can to make the voice of freedom heard in Congress -- make
calls, ask your friends and family to call -- please do whatever you
can.
Put Congress on notice that the American people don't want a
"compromise" that sells out our rights. Act now at:
http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=NTxbpTe2N43Z-Wd04mg1IQ..
We're hearing the vote is tomorrow, so we could have less than
24 hours.
Believe me, no matter what happens, the ACLU will continue fighting
this -- if necessary, in the courts.
Thank you for all you have done through this fight. Your dedication
has truly inspired me and all of us at the ACLU. Now, let's hit the
phones!
Thank you,
Caroline Fredrickson, Director
ACLU Washington Legislative Office
