It’s Filibuster Time!

by Jason Rosenbaum  ::  Filed Under U.S. Domestic Issues  ::  January 23rd, 2008 @ 2:05 pm EST

The FISA debate starts tonight. Chris Dodd will filibuster any bill with retroactive immunity in it. He’ll need the support of 41 of his Senate colleagues to keep going.

It’s really quite simple. If you don’t want to give retroactive amnesty to telecom companies who spied on Americans illegally, without a warrant, and before September 11th, then pick up the phone. First, call those Senators who pledged to support Chris Dodd:

Fax / Phone

Feingold (202) 224-2725 / (202) 224-5323
Dodd (202) 224-1083 / (202) 224-2823
Obama (202) 228-4260 / (202) 224-2854
Sanders (202) 228-0776 / (202) 224-5141
Menendez (202) 228-2197 / (202) 224-4744
Biden (202) 224-0139 / (202) 224-5042
Brown (202) 228-6321 / (202) 224-2315
Harkin (202) 224-9369 / (202) 224-3254
Cardin (202) 224-1651 / (202) 224-4524
Clinton (202) 228-0282 / (202) 224-4451
Akaka (202) 224-2126 / (202) 224-6361
Webb (202) 228-6363 / (202) 224-4024
Kennedy (202) 224-2417 / (202) 224-4543
Boxer (415) 956-6701 / (202) 224-3553

Then you can call your Senators and tell them amnesty for telecom companies is unconstitutional and shouldn’t be supported.

Don’t let Bush scare Congress into submission with more terrorist mumbo-jumbo. Don’t let him continue to trample on the Constitution and give amnesty to his lawbreaking buddies in the telecom industry. Tell Democratic “leadership” to stand by Chris Dodd.
