Don't Let the Bush Administration and Telecom Companies Spy on Us!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: American Civil Liberties Union
Sponsored by: American Civil Liberties Union
The Bush administration has been trying with all its might to force Congress to grant the President broad spying powers. Now, it's up to Congress to decide if the government can eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant, and whether or not telecommunications companies will get away with illegally helping the administration spy on us over the past six years.
For far too long, President Bush has been trying to expand his power at the expense of our freedom and the Constitution. The House of Representatives made a wise decision to let President Bush's reckless and unconstitutional spying bill expire. Now, they must stand strong and continue rejecting the administration’s fear mongering tactics.
Help protect our constitutional rights! Urge the House of Representatives to reject any legislation that does not restore judicial review and protect the privacy rights of innocent Americans.

This is AMERICA, don't try to make it into RUSSIA and claim you are protecting us.

The laws were and are clear, the laws were broken. The Telecoms knew what they were doing was wrong and they did it anyway. Why not let the courts decide what should happen. NO IMMUNITY! It goes against everything this country should stand for.

Why can the president spy on us, yet we can't spy on the president?

they treat their customers like slaves. They tell us we must pay them when they make mistakes but won't pay us anything for over charging us. They bill us in advance then demand late fees if we don't pay in-advance. And when we complain, they cut off our service!

Surveillance is unlawful and deprives U.S. citizens of one of its most prized rights. Hear from the constituents of this country whom you represent for a change, and not Big Brother and Big Business as is your clalim to fame. We the People are more important!

It's none of your business what I talk about on the phone. May I listen to your conversations?
# 20,767:
It's unconstitutional !!!

This is a slime-ridden disgusting practice. What country do we live in? I forget. Oh, that's right, the land of the free.... where the government is free to impede on our privacy. I'm about to move to Canada, I hear they also provide their citizens with health care. Whoever heard of such a thing!

Dear Congress: You were elected to stand up to Bush and his facist tactics in running our country and to get us out of Iraq. So far, you're actions have been less than stellar. Now that you've finally found a shadow of a backbone, it's time to keep going and not back down again. DO NOT let the man who claims to be the president of this country walk all over its people anymore. Either continue to stand up to him and his cronies - impeachment would be ideal but you've already stated you're too cowardly to take that track - or start looking for work in the private sector again. If you won't do the job we elected you to do, we'll just keep looking for new congressional representatives until we find some that will.

What 'terrorists" have they caught by eavesdropping all this time? I haven't seen the lists on that. Our laws already provide the vehicle to wire tap, when there is good reason to need to. A blank check has never done us any good and there is no need to continue giving one to Bush now.

Neither the phone companies NOR the President should be above the law.
