Specter Rushing To Cover Bush's Butt! Thursday Vote on Surveillance Bill
* Specter Rushing Thursday Vote on Surveillance Bill

Because of phone calls and letters from constituents like
you, Senator Arlen Specter is feeling the heat. Having
previously delayed a vote on his dangerous surveillance
bill, he is now intent on moving it out of committee on
Thursday. This sham "compromise" bill will help the
government continue to break the law, vastly expanding the
president's power to spy on you without any meaningful
oversight from Congress or the courts. Your friends and
family could be constituents of Judiciary Committee members
-- spread the word and urge them to call Congress now. If
you're a blogger, post a "Stop the Surveillance Bills"
button.

6. This is for the one DUer who doesn't already know about Thomas...
   ... the Library of Congress' own site which allows one to check out any piece of pending Federal legislation...
   Simply go to Thomas at <http://thomas.loc.gov/>, enter the bill number in the text box marked "Search Bill Text", check the "Bill Number" button, and watch the magick...
