For at least six years, President Bush has authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct dragnet surveillance on our domestic telecommunications networks, vacuuming up the private communications of millions of ordinary Americans with no warrants or other meaningful oversight.
 
Yet instead of reining in this illegal activity, the Democratic leadership handed the president even more authority to violate your rights by passing the so-called "Protect America Act" in August. Now the Administration wants to make its power grab permanent and prevent any court from stopping the illegal spying. Proposed immunity legislation could let telephone companies off the hook for their role in the program and block lawsuits like Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)  case against AT&T.
 
Congress cannot be allowed to cave again. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have promised to retool the new spying law, but they appear willing to ignore your rights once again and allow warrantless domestic spying to continue.
 
Tell Pelosi and Reid to restore your Constitutional rights now, before it's too late.
