9. Senate Judiciary just reported a bill w/o immunity. Reid decides which version

will now go to the floor. The intelligence comm. version was reported with immunity. Now, it is in Majority Leader Reid's control. FOCUS on Reid in your efforts.

CONTACT Sen Harry Reid http://reid.senate.gov/contact /

Urge Senator Reid and others to:

"move the Senate Judiciary Committee version of the FISA bill to the floor"
"not collaborate with Bush's illegal spying by encouraging and rewarding corporate crime with retroactive immunity"
"seek investigation of the Bush administration punishment of telecoms who refused to disobey the law"
"seek investigation of the Bush administration rewarding of corporations that collaborated in the administration's illegal activities"
"seek investigation of the extent of the illegal conduct of both the administration and the telecoms"

he officially bring us the United States of 'Baron Corpacracy'.

[me b zola]

The bill just passed the House, so we'll see which bill Reid goes for.
