6. Done and "Your message has been sent. Can you follow-up with
a phone call?

We have achieved breakthrough victories on FISA because you and other ACLU activists refused to yield. Even if your representaive has been good on this issue before, a phone call will go a long way to make sure he or she stands firm.

When you call, be sure to mention that you are a constituent calling about FISA, and your representative to do these three things:

Reject backroom deals on telecom immunity. Lawsuits may be our only chance to expose the truth about illegal spying activities by telecom companies and the Bush administration.

Reject backroom deals that steal our freedom and undermine the rule of law in reaction to election year fear-mongering. A bill with real judicial review and no telecom immunity should be the floor, not the ceiling of negotiations.

Reject backroom deals that give Bush new powers to spy on Americans without a warrant.

Please also call House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer at (202) 225-3130, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at (202) 225-0100 or (202) 225-4965. They need to know that as leaders in the House, voters expect them to:

Reject any compromise with telecom immunity. Lawsuits may be our only chance to expose the truth about illegal spying activities by telecom companies and the Bush administration.

Reject Bush’s election year fear-mongering. A bill with real judicial review and no telecom immunity should be the floor, not the ceiling of negotiations."
