Don't Let the Bush Administration and Telecom Companies Spy on Us!

Dear Representative [Name],

The Bush administration is playing politics with domestic surveillance legislation. As your constituent, I assure you that I see through the lies and misinformation. I applaud the recent decision in the House to stand up to bullying from President Bush.

The president is saying he does not want the courts to have any say in whether telecommunications companies acted illegally when they turned over private information to the government. I believe that only the Courts can decide if something was illegal -- not Congress. That's why I oppose retroactive telecom immunity.

Domestic warrantless spying, authorized by the so-called "Protect America Act," isn't about listening to our enemies. It's about unaccountable access to Americans' international phone calls and emails. The Constitution is clear that when the government wants to wiretap an American, in the United States, a warrant is required. That's why I insist you only pass a spying bill if the government has to get an individual warrant to spy on an American.

Again, I urge you to continue rejecting Bush's lies and fear mongering. Letting his reckless and unconstitutional spying bill expire was a wise decision. Now, please only pass a bill that respects the Constitution and the rule of law.
