If you want to oppose Telecom Immunity, here is what to do & who to call

[debbierlus]

Keep K&R- I am going to call them all, & tell the dems I am sick to DEATH of having to spend my time pleading with them to do the
right thing...This is from Chris Dodd:

Help Oppose Telecom Amnesty
The first step is to make sure retroactive immunity doesn't make it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- where it will be considered shortly.

If we can get it stripped there, it will have to be offered as an amendment to the overall bill where it will be a lot easier to get 41 votes against retroactive immunity than 41 to sustain my filibuster if necessary.

Take a moment and call up members of the Judiciary Committee and ask them whether they will oppose any legislation that includes retroactive immunity. Let us know what they said, and join others in tracking our progress in stopping the provision in the Committee.

2. I'll call Cornyn

But don't get your hopes up on that one. He's a useless bush-butt-sucker all the way.

3. My hope is running on fumes, I am doing it on auto pilot

I am resentful of having to spend my time, begging them to stop aiding & abetting fascism.
I expect it of the Republicans, the dems run as something different, but it seems they
are just another arm of one party corporate rule.

5. Biden said yes last Friday

From a Wa Po chat Fiday afternoon:

San Francisco: Will you join Sen. Chris Dodd's hold and proposed filibuster on any FISA bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecoms? Thanks for joining us for this chat today, Sen. Biden, and thanks for the leadership you provide the Democratic Party and America.

Sen. Joe Biden: Yes.

Chris Dodd knows this and so does his campaign. Jane Hamsher posted it at FDL within the hour, and it's been on Crooks and Liars and a lot of other places. It was disingenuous, at best, to list him as a maybe. I was disappointed when I got this email from the Dodd campaign.
