It's a shame that someone like Senator Christopher Dodd never really had a shot at the Presidency. While I'm eager to see Barack Obama become President--and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt about his FISA bill stance--Dodd is one of the few Senators out there actively trying to beat this thing.
If you feel like I do, join him in his fight to head this thing off. It may be futile, but you'll feel a little better.
[From Christopher Dodd's call to action letter]
For the last nine months, when retroactive immunity has surfaced, we have been able to delay its passage.
We were able to stop it in December because I had an army behind me.
Two months later, it stalled again -- this time in the House.And last week, we managed to delay action one last time.
But when the Senate returns from the July 4th recess, we will vote on FISA legislation that includes retroactive immunity for telecom companies that may have illegally helped the Bush administration spy without warrant.
It's a bad bill and we need action to stop retroactive immunity from becoming law. I've introduced an amendment with Senator Feingold to strip immunity from the bill. This amendment has the support of Majority Leader Reid and Senator Obama, but it needs 51 votes to pass.
Will you sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of our amendment?
Sign on now!
Together, we can prevent this assault on our Constitution. Let's do it one more time. With your help, we can stop the further erosion of the rule of law.
We'll be in touch soon.
Chris Dodd
