Matheson's Blue Dogs/Republicans Set to "Compromise" the Constitution
Congress is set to vote Friday on a bill that gives immunity to telecom companies that broke the law and contains vacuum cleaner style surveillance that sweeps up the phone calls and emails of Americans. Already, we know it’s blatantly unconstitutional. Things are moving so fast and so secretively that the ACLU only got a copy of this bill this morning. Even if you’ve emailed, called or visited your members of Congress about FISA, we need you to contact them again today. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| When you call, say something like this: I am a constituent calling about H.R. 6304, the Hoyer/Bush FISA Deal. I urge you to vote "NO" because: 1. The Hoyer/Bush FISA deal allows for mass and untargeted surveillance of Americans’ communications. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I've already called and e-mailed Matheson's office. Blue dogs are really "blue bellies" but Matheson is the only one of Utah's delegation that could possibly vote against the Hoyer bill.
ReplyDeleteI called Matheson too (assumed calling Cannon, Bishop, Bennet, and Hatch) was a waste of a phone call. We can assume where they stand (lock step with the President of course, free thinkers that they are). The woman who answered the phone wasn't happy to hear from me. But then I'm not happy the Congressman she works for is allowing immunity for lawbreakers who donate to campaigns, and that he is willing to accept the blanket warrantless-wiretapping of Americans.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog. I like well written and succinct ones and yours looks good so far! Good for you/good for us.
ReplyDeleteI have already made me Warrentless Wiretapping calls last night and today. I wish I had read your summery for the calls first it was well said.
Thank you for this blog...I know it's lots of work. I will stay tuned.
