If I didn't see it with my own eyes on CSPAN 2, I would have never believed it.
The United States Senate passed a bill Tuesday granting retroactive immunity to telecom companies that helped spy on Americans -- without a warrant.
Pretty amazing ... Congress just sanctioned the single largest invasion of privacy in American history.
In the face of this imminent defeat, I became even more thankful for Chris Dodd's leadership throughout the campaign to move our national debate to a more thoughtful and progressive place - whether it was about ending the war, climate change, civil liberties, or many other important issues. And I wanted to do something, anything, to show my appreciation for all that he did during the campaign.
I called one of the last Presidential campaign staffers remaining to ask what I could do to help -- this time, not as a staffer, but a citizen.
He said, "Tim, honestly, I know the campaign debt is on his mind. I just wish we could take care of this for him."
So, I asked if I could send out an email to the list, one last time from me, with a simple request.
I just made a $25 contribution to help Chris Dodd retire his campaign debt. Will you join me, right now...and together, this Presidents Day Weekend, knock this out for him?

P.S. This email will be just as much a surprise to Senator Dodd as it was to you -- so please, let's make it a pleasant one and retire his debt this weekend.
