1. Is this the one what would punish the telecoms?
Or the one that would give them a pass? I assume the former, which would be good for our side, and will help steel the resolve of House Democrats to vote to punish the telecoms.

7. Republicans are trying to ram through a confused bill that will grant
...retroactive immunity, but it looks like it may get tabled.

Pelosi wants to introduce a House version next week, but I am very suspicious as to just what Pelosi will include in the modified bill. The bottom line must remain NO RETROACTIVE IMMUNITY for telecoms or for Bush

16. Thank heaven
I just sent another fax to Reyes.

I guess I should call Barbara Lee (my rep). She'll do the right thing, but she could probably use some support from moi. Thing is, I'm at work.

17. I am so sick
of hearing the Reptilians whine about FISA. I have sent both Price and Blackburn a FAX tell them to stop lying to the American People over FISA. I know it doesn't do any good but I want them to know that at least some Americans know how they are lying.
