[PAA-Discuss] Repeal telecom immunity and roll back PATRIOT ACT abuses

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Dear Friend,

It's time to repeal telecom  immunity for illegal spying and roll back the
worst abuses of the PATRIOT  ACT.

When we finally lost our hard fought battle over telecom immunity  for
illegal spying, civil libertarians in the Senate vowed to revisit  the
issue during the next Congress. Now is the time. Senators  Feingold,
Durbin, Tester, Udall, Bingaman, Sanders, Menendez, Akaka, Merkley,  and
Wyden have now introduced the JUSTICE Act to bring an end to  telecom
immunity, restore privacy protections to the records of bookstores  and
libraries, and roll back some of the worst abuses of the PATRIOT  ACT.

The JUSTICE Act would completely repeal the provision of the  FISA
Amendments Act intended to legally immunize big telecoms that  illegally
assisted in the National Security Agency's warrantless  wiretapping
program. It would also add strong checks and balances to PATRIOT  ACT
provisions governing FISA orders, wiretaps, and national security  letters.

I just signed a petition to ask my Senator to sign on to the  JUSTICE Act.
I hope you will, too. Please have a look and take  action.
