Chris Dodd prevents passing of the telecommunications immunity bill
He's sending a letter to House Majority Leader Harry Ried saying this:
[ The Military Commissions Act. Warrantless wiretapping. Shredding of Habeas Corpus. Torture. Extraordinary Rendition. Secret Prisons.
No more.
I have decided to place a "hold" on the latest FISA bill that would have included amnesty for telecommunications companies that enabled the President's assault on the Constitution by illegally providing personal information on their customers without judicial authorization.
I said that I would do everything I could to stop this bill from passing, and I have. ]
Did anybody else just get a chill up their spines?
Go to ChrisDodd.com and sign the petition, and spread this around, okay? He just threw a much-needed gauntlet down in the faces of all the party hacks out there. Someone I know just spoke to his office in Washington, and they're being overwhelmed by the phone calls. Keep 'em coming; we have a guy with real potential here. 202-737-3633
Give him a call yourself if you're so inclined. The phone person my friend (a veteran of this Iraq war) talked to sounded giddy, she says.
