URGENT: Oppose Telecom Immunity and Tell Your Senator to Vote "No on Cloture"


It's time to contact your Senators once again. As early as Monday, the Administration and its allies are trying to end Senate debate on FISA and telecom immunity and force a vote on the Senate Intelligence Committee's bill -- a bill that would broadly expand the executive branch's spying powers while granting immunity to telecoms that broke the law and assisted in the NSA's illegal domestic spying.


Now is the time to urge your Senators to vote no on "cloture" to keep the debate going!


Every time you've taken action to fight against immunity, it's made a huge difference. In November, your calls and emails helped to ensure that the Senate Judiciary Committee did not include telecom amnesty in its surveillance bill, and in December your calls and emails helped convince Harry Reid to delay the vote until January. Both times, the pundits assumed we didn’t stand a chance, and both times we proved them wrong.
