The Last Stand Against Retroactive Immunity
I got another heads-up from Working Assets today.
I know you've been following the fight against retroactive immunity for quite some time now and I wanted to give you an update on what we're hearing from Washington.
We don't know yet what the legislation being negotiated between the House and the Senate will look like. Things aren't looking good, though.
This weekend, Democratic House Intelligence Chair Silvestre Reyes expressed a willingness to vote on legislation that includes retroactive immunity for the big telecoms that helped the Bush administration spy on Americans without a warrant. This despite the fact that just two weeks ago, Reyes sent a letter to President Bush stating his opposition to retroactive immunity.
The House needs to hear from the American people again this week urging them not to cave. They must hold firm and stop retroactive immunity from getting a vote.
I know you've already contacted your Representative on this matter. Will you email five friends and ask them to contact their Representatives today?

Democrats in the House have been a bulwark against retroactive immunity. We know the Bush administration is putting tremendous pressure on them to pass immunity, but we need to remind them that it's their job to uphold the rule of law.
CREDO Action members have already sent hundreds of thousands of emails, faxes, and phone calls to Congress. It's crucial that we keep up the pressure and tell Congress that we still need them to stand up to Bush and Cheney.
Will you ask five of your friends to contact their Representatives on retroactive immunity?

I'll let you know about developments as they come, but right now we need to continue to tell Congress that we expect them to defend the Constitution and oppose retroactive immunity.

Thank you for all you've done to protect the rule of law.

I wish it was that easy (and satisfying) to keep playing this fucking game.

He's the Congressman for Lawrence, plus Johnson and Wyandotte counties.

And gee, if he didn't support the legalization of torture, I'd be happy about that.
Grrrr.
