Once More On FISA

Image credit: National Archives


I'm running out of titles. As I wrote before, this "goddamned piece of paper" needs our help. Once more, the bad version of the FISA "reform" act is being considered in Congress, this time in the House. The bill is now called HR3773, even though the earlier, good version of this bill was also given that number. In short, it's now a bad bill, and needs to be rejected unless telcomm immunity and "basket" warrants are removed from the bill via amendment.

So call or write your representatives. Tell them they won't lose support if they stand up for freedom. If you're not sure who that is, this site can identify your congresscritters if you give it your address or zip code.

UPDATE: To keep up with this issue today, I'd suggest watching Firedoglake. In particular, here's Christy Hardin Smith's article on why Republicans should be against it, too.
