This is a short interview with Daniel Ellsberg, famous for releasing the Pentagon Papers, about what every American needs to know -- and do in the next 24 hours -- about the new FISA (Federal Information and Surveillance Act) amendments.

WHAT YOU CAN DO IN 60 SECONDS:

For those who are prepared to spend 60 seconds to help protect their liberties and prevent warrantless wiretapping from becoming a new standard in the US, here are two steps you can take:

1. ALL AMERICANS: Go to snipurl.com/2ubhq and put in your zipcode to find your Senator's phone number. Call them and read the short script on the same page. If no answer, click the link at the bottom of the page to e-mail them. If the above link doesn't work, go to eff.org, click "take action," and click the first item.

2. OBAMA SUPPORTERS: Go to snipurl.com/2ubhl and invest 30 seconds to become a member of the group Obama watches for numbers that want him to oppose this bill.

6. I called both of my Senators this evening and left messages. I will call again tomorrow.

In addition, I also pointed out that as a progressive I am very dissappointed in the Democratic majority in Congress and that I am leaning towards supporting a truly PROGRESSIVE candidate in the next election cycle.

7. Hopeless...the fix is in...millions donated. Only shooting them will change their vote.

8. Calling Dianne Feinstein is useless, and Boxer is against the bill.

So, for Californians, that's that.

Harry Reid... I wanna wring your spindly neck for bringing this bill to the floor. Sell-outs, most of them. Shame on this most despicable lot!

9. Boy, it was really annoying leaving a comment with Obama...

I had to "create a blog" and leave a comment on that blog. I couldn't just leave a comment.

Also called my two senators, Spector & Casey.

10. More on "Only bloggers can leave comments" policy

The Obama blog I HAD to create in order to file a comment had a default setting that assumed I wanted to receive email for every other blog entry from every other commenter.

So until I logged back onto "MyBarack" and fixed the setting, I spammed myself.

Maybe I did something wrong. I'll wait to see how Obama votes before I express my opinion.
