House Democrats are in the process of forming a "compromise" FISA bill which would, in essence, give the proponents of Telecom Immunity exactly what they want. Read more about it here. A massive effort is underway to prevent this from happening; a grassroots movement, made up of progressive bloggers and their readers, the ACLU, and members of the Ron Paul Revolution, have joined forces and raised over $200,000 in two days.
If you have a few extra dollars to spare, click here. The funds will be used to run ads in the districts of the Democratic proponents of this bill: Rep. Hoyer (D-Md), Rep. Carney (D-Pa.), and Rep. Barrow (D-Ga).
Otherwise, do your part and give Sen. Obama a call and ask that he use his position as de-facto party head to quash this abomination. Ask that he voice his opposition to this and any other bill which provides immunity to the telecoms.
