[annm4peace]

House Friday passed HR 6304 by 293-129 vote. This bill would:

— grant immunity to phone companies who illegally spy on us.
— give feds more power to secretly spy on us.

All San Joaquin Valley Congress people, Dem & GOP, plus House Speaker Pelosi voted for this step toward fascism.

All told 188 GOPer voted yes along with 105 Dems.
128 Dems and one GOPer voted no.

The bills now goes to Senate.

June 23, 2008


Senator Dianne Feinstein
c/o District Director Trevor Daley
11111 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 915
Los Angeles, CA


Dear Senator Feinstein,


We are writing with great concern regarding reports the Democratic leadership has struck a deal which will further erode civil liberties by circumventing the original FISA laws, and we ask that you not only oppose this new FISA bill but that you filibuster its advancement in the Senate.



We are deeply disappointed in our Party and its leadership for capitulating to the Bush administration with this utterly unnecessary legislation--but you are our Senator, from the great and progressive state of California, and as your constituents we have a right to expect better leadership from you.



We wish to note that in an official statement regarding a previous FISA bill, you defended the telecom industry, stating they had no choice but to break the law--but in this you were incorrect: They did have a choice, proven by the fact Qwest chose to obey the Constitution rather than wiretap without proper FISA warrants. We would also remind you the telecoms’ illegal activity began well before the attacks of 9/11.



We need better answers and better representation from our senior Senator. It was with great pain that, last year, we moved several California Democratic Party caucuses to censure you for your approval of an Attorney General who condoned torture, and for your previous support for telecom immunity. We would prefer not to censure you again, but to instead applaud you for doing what is right and protecting our Constitution rather than protecting corporations and the Bush administration. We ask you to stand with the vast bulk of your constituents who side with the rule of law.



Thank you,



Yours,

[annm4peace]

2. Can someone please explain to me what the hell is wrong with Pelosi?

Impeachment off the table, this bill, continued funding for the Iraq war. What did we elect a Democratic Congress for? I don't understand what is going on!!!

3. I called Tauscher's office ..

once again because of redistricting I'm stuck with Tauscher instead of
George Miller .

He used to be my rep.. He votes correct most of the time,
and did this time as well .

She's compiling an email to send out because they are
getting a lot of calls .


I bet she is .
