Blue America is launching a call tool today to help you get in touch with Senators regarding the FISA bill.   We're trying to make it as easy as possible for everyone to talk with their Senators about the importance of standing up for the constitution, the rule of law -- and standing against telecom immunity.

We have been working hard to put together some tools to make your voice heard -- and there is more to come today.  

This first tool allows you to directly contact Senators to tell them to stand up for the rule of law and vote in favor of the Dodd-Feingold-Leahy amendment.  (That's S.A.5064 to H.R. 6304 which will come up for a vote on July 8th, 2008.)  Not only will this tool help you phone your Senators -- including connecting your call -- but it also gives us the ability to track positions on FISA given your input on what you ascertain during your conversations.  

As the ACLU recently said, "no president should have the power to monitor the phones and emails of Americans without a warrant, and telecommunications companies should not be let off the hook."  The laws apply to presidents and cronies alike, just like they do to the rest of us.  We want to give you the tools needed to tell your Senators just that.  And for you to be able to do so today.
