WE MUST STOP THE NEW ADMINISTRATION WIRETAPPING BILL IN CONGRESS, EVEN IF IT MEANS A FILIBUSTER
ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/pnum499.php
Bush has threatened to veto any wiretapping bill that provides for ANY judicial oversight. That is precisely why oversight is such an absolute necessity.
Once again the Bush Administration is attempting to avoid the law and court decisions by having their stooges in Congress offer a new bill retroactively legalizing all the illegal Bush actions to date. Once again, Bush has said, and it's written in to this bill, that he will be able to AGAIN avoid court review of his actions. This is about the Administration backed 'Specter' Bill supposedly a 'compromise' but in actuality giving Bush everything he wanted: essentially a free hand to do as he wishes.
Two other bills are on the floor of the Senate, one offered by Rebel Republicans and one offered jointly by Senator Specter, whose original bill was hijacked and carries his name, and Senator Feinstein of California. We want the Feinstein Bill to pass . . . but more importantly we want the Administration Bill NOT to pass. We must stand up and fight to a finish to block this bill.
We cannot let this original Administration backed 'Specter' bill pass. Write your letters and then, if you would, follow them up with phone calls to the Democratic leadership at 888-355-3588 or 800-828-0498. If there was ever a time for a filibuster...this is it.
Take action today, please! Some of our most basic freedoms are at stake. This Administration thinks nothing of ignoring our Constitution. They must be stopped. Today is the day.

This alert is brought to you through the activism of Stacey Tallitsch, running for the U.S. House in the 1st Congressional district, and one of the leading progressive voices in the state of Louisiana. Many of you have already submitted his action page calling for the troops in Iraq to start coming home now, a policy that is more surely correct with every passing state of emergency in Baghdad.
Stacey has been running call to action radio spots in this district , calling for an end of the obstinate occupation of Iraq, a military escapade which has brought nothing but death and destruction to both their country and our own. And he has produced a new one on the impeachment issue. You can hear the new spot on this page.
RADIO SPOT DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/donations.php
Nobody can predict how a particular race will turn out. But we know that the spots we ran on impeachment had tremendous secondary impact, as TWO other groups were inspired to run their own call to action ads on this issue as a result of the investment we made in this action. If you are able to do so, please make whatever donation you can to continue the stand we are taking on issue after issue.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
