Hold lawbreakers accountable By Catherine on 10/23/2007 09:44:00 AM
This is from MoveOn.org:Hi, For years the Bush administration has been illegally wiretapping Americans' phone calls with the willing assistance of major telecom companies like Verizon and AT&T. Now the White House is putting enormous pressure on Congress to give phone companies retroactive immunity for all the laws they broke spying on innocent Americans.
Here's why: The pending lawsuits against these companies may be the only way we ever find out how far the Bush administration went in breaking the law. President Bush wants immunity for them to cover his own actions.
The problem is, some key Democrats are poised to help him do it. We need to speak out loudly against this move. I just signed a petition urging Congress to reject immunity for lawbreaking phone companies. Can you join me?

Thanks!
I, for one, will be dropping Verizon as my cell phone provider in favor of a track-phone as soon as my contract is up on 12/9. I would encourage you all to do the same.
We are Americans, and we still have the first amendment on our side. Illegal wiretapping is yet another disgrace to be shouldered by the Bush administration.
Get involved by sending a letter to your local representative today.
