The bastards are desperate

Now they are enlisting the veterans of America to get telco immunity - which really means immunity for Bush's illegal actions. It's despicable.

From mcjoan:

Did the veterans of America's wars really fight so that AT&T could break the law without being punished? So that their government could illegally spy on anyone they want to, and get away with it? Somehow I don't think so. It's a real shamethat the American Legion, the organization that is supposed to be representing them and helping to get legislation that really benefits them (like more body armor, like fully funded veterans care, like adequate treatment for brain injuries and PTSD) is instead lying to them.

If you're a veteran and are opposed to giving AT&T a free pass for breaking the law, please let the American Legion know that they don't speak for you. Call them at (202) 861-2700 or use this contact page.

And if you aren't a veteran, but want to combat all of the calls and e-mails that will be going to Congress as a result of the American Legion's effort, why not just go ahead and use the toll free numbers they have to call your Congress person and Senators and tell them you don't want AT&T to get off the hook.

Call toll free to the Capitol Switchboard: 1-877-851-6437, 1-800-828-0498, or 1-800-614-2803. Ask for the office you would like to speak to. You can also request that one office transfer you to the next office. Most staff members are happy to do so.
