From ACLU's D.C. Legislative office: There may be a back room deal in the works to push through a FISA bill that lets telecom companies off the hook for breaking the law and spying on millions of Americans without a warrant.
After boldly standing up to The Bush administrations' fear mongering in February, word comes that House leadership may now be working with Senator Jay Rockefeller to possibly rush a pro-telecom amnesty bill through Congress in the next few days.
Civil libertarians in the Mountain State, say no to back room deals.
ACLU of WV knows firsthand that many West Virginians made calls and sent emails to members of Congress during the last big FISA push in February when House leadership stood strong and let the atrocious Protect (more like, Police) America Act expire.
As time is of the essence now, please contact your representative and tell them: NO to back room deals that reward telecoms for breaking the law and further erode our civil liberties. The following link will allow you to send an email to your representative: https://secure.aclu.org/site/A...
