Call-ing on everyone again!

Keeps those phones ringing off the hooks people. Jam the lines until they kill this bill. Stay vigilant, stay at the ready, and don't let this stuff slip by with out so much as a two minute phone call. Isn't your freedom worth two minutes?

From EFF:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly suggested that Congress might soon take action on a bill that could rubberstamp the NSA's spying program. The Bush Administration is trying to sell its latest proposal as a serious compromise, but don't be fooled -- it represents an unprecedented power grab that endangers the checks and balances that define our democracy. Please call your representatives now before it's too late.

Contrary to the Administration's characterizations, its "FISA Modernization" bill is not simply about "updating" the law and allowing surveillance of foreign-to-foreign communications. Instead, it could radically expand the government's ability to spy on Americans without a warrant.

It's highly irresponsible for Congress to even consider this proposal before uncovering the truth about the still-shadowy spying program. In recent weeks, Congress has made strides towards more vigorous oversight and authorized subpoenas for key information, but the proposed bill would short-circuit such scrutiny.

Tell your representatives to stand strong against the Administration and stop the abuse of surveillance powers.

Follow the EFF link and find you Senators Number (if it isn't already on speed dial by this point) and let them know what you think. Although your call to voice your opinion opposing government sponsored wiretapping will probably be monitored, and will probably be used against you in the near future. Maybe it'll be enough to make you ineligible to vote next year! Yay!
