http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/SenatorObama-PleaseVoteAgainstFISA; Obama supporters have not given up hope of changing the candidate's mind re the FISA bill. They have created this "Please Vote Against FISA" group on Obama's social-networking website. Mike Stark, one of the groups founders, wrote "We've got a little over 1 week to change his mind - the vote on FISA will happen July 8th. But we can't wait until that day; our goal is to see the Senator (and next President!) come out in opposition a few days earlier so that he can drag the rest of the Senate behind him." If you're an Obama supporter, consider joining the group and making your voice heard.

http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/35740prs20080620.html; For years, now, I have been returning fundraising envelopes fom the DNC with a note saying, "Sorry, but my checkbook got knocked off the table along with Impeachment." Going to have to update my note that my donations are going to have to go to the ACLU to help them dig the 4th Amendment out of the trashheap, Democrats helped dump it in..

House Approves Unconstitutional Surveillance Legislation

From the page: ""No matter how often the opposition calls this bill a `compromise,' it is not a meaningful compromise, except of our constitutional rights. The bill allows for mass, untargeted and unwarranted surveillance of all communications coming in to and out of the United States. The courts' role is superficial at best, as the government can continue spying on our communications even after the FISA court has objected. Democratic leaders turned what should have been an easy FISA fix into the wholesale giveaway of our Fourth Amendment rights.

""More than two years after the president's domestic spying was revealed in the pages of the New York Times, Congress' fury and shock has dissipated to an obedient whimper. After scrambling for years to cover their tracks, the phone companies and the administration are almost there. This immunity provision will effectively destroy Americans' chance to have their deserved day in court and will kill any possibility of learning the extent of the administration's lawless actions. The House should be ashamed of itself. The fate of the Fourth Amendment is now in the Senate's hands. We can only hope senators will show more courage than their colleagues in the House.""

From the page: "The Judiciary Chairs were essentially shut out of the recent round of negotiations, if press reports are to be believed. That should be enough to make the Democratic majority members of those committees vote against this bad bill. It likely won't. But you can add them (links above show committee members with links to their pages) to the other calls."

Call Barack Obama and urge him to make a public statement reiterating his opposition to telco amnesty. His opposition could kill this deal: Phone (202) 224-2854, Fax (202) 228-4260

Call Steny Hoyer and tell him this is a bad deal: Phone (202) 225-4131, Fax (202) 225-4300

Call Nancy Pelosi and urge her to pull the bill from the House schedule: Phone (202) 225-4965, Fax (202) 225-8259
