Wiretapping: Impeachment Not Immunity

House "Majority" Leader Steny Hoyer doesn't understand the meaning of NO.

On March 14, we won a huge victory when the House voted 213-197 for a bill to strengthen FISA without providing immunity for Bush and the telcos who illegally spied on millions of Americans without a warrant. Thanks to your lobbying efforts - including over 58,000 petitions! - just six Bush Democrats voted for immunity.

Even Steny Hoyer voted against immunity. But Hoyer kept conspiring with Bush to sneak immunity through Congress when no one was watching. And on Friday, Hoyer quietly announced a new bill to provide retroactive immunity for past warrantless wiretapping and allow new wiretapping for six more years.

So it's time for us to tell Congress once again that we will not tolerate warrantless wiretapping by George Bush or any other President, and we demand full accountability for George Bush through impeachment. Our last wiretapping petition sent over 58,000 emails to Congress - let's see if we can double that number to over 100,000.

How often do we have keep doing this?

We've already told Congress, that we don't want telecom immunity.
Yet they continue to sneak a bill past us to try and implement immunity.

What should we do for them to get the message? Vote them out of office?

1. Why

does this IDIOT keep doing this???? Is he on Verizon's payroll or something?

Disgusting. Hoyer is from MD, as am I, and I am embarrassed to be represented by this tool.

5. Call him! And get your friends to do so as well ! n/t

2. Call him! You might have some clout! All you Maryland DUers need

to call him and give him a piece of your mind. He is worse than useless; he is dangerous.

4. I have already

called and written him a half dozen times at least, every time this issue comes up and his fingerprints are found all over it, I've either called or emailed. Both him and Mikulski. Neither of them seem to give a shit what their constituents think anymore. Whatever prize the TelCo's are offering Hoyer, it obviously means a lot more to him than the voters of MD do.

3. Because not enough "representatives" in Congress

actually "represent" us. The rot is Washington is pretty thorough and goes way beyond just bush and Cheney. It's in all our agencies, our court system, and political parties. It's how we've had a full system failure for so long.
