It only takes a few minutes to call your senator and register your opposition to immunity for telecoms for illegal wiretapping. Telecoms are ALREADY PROTECTED when they work within the law for wiretaps. This retroactive immunity is to protect some telecom companies who did not reject illegal requests for wiretaps. The precedent here is dangerous. Basically, it means that a private company can break the law, then ask for congressional protection after the fact. What's the incentive to follow the law at all after then?
The bill is about to be reintroduced Monday and supporters will try to ram it through fast to avoid debate.
Call Now and make sure your voice is heard before it's too late. I did.
