Will you step up? 1-202-225-0100
Here in GDP, we care as much about civil liberties as we do about the latest Cindy/Michelle gossip, right? (Yeah, those threads are fun and I've started some,too). But today is a very important day, GDPers.

IT MAY BE OUR LAST CHANCE TO STOP THE DEMS FROM CAPITULATING ON THE FISA BILL!

Please call Nancy Pelosi at the number above. I received this suggested script in an e-mail: I'm calling to tell Speaker Pelosi I am depending on her to pull any bill from the floor that will ulimately grant immunity to telecommunications companies who illegally spied on Americans. Can I count on Speaker Pelosi to stand up to President Bush?

Feel free to tweek the above, or use your own words. However, Pelosi does have the power to pull the bill from the floor, and that's why we should concentrate on her.

I called, and it was busy. Good sign!

Giving everything the repubs everything they wanted in the first place, and getting nothing in return?

9. It's frustrating that we can't get through
but I'll take it as a good sign. Last night on Keith, Jonathan Turley said that the Dems have tried several times to capitulate(his words), but the public keeps stopping them. They're trying again now, IMHO, because it's the summer and they think no one's paying attention. Let's show them they're wrong.

14. Definitely worth it.
I've been told that the people who answer the phone keep a tally of the calls, so I try to get my opinion across before I'm transferred to the comment line. But at this point, I'd just be happy to get through.

18. Thanks for the kick
Please, everyone, try to keep this kicked until the vote. Maybe we can keep it from coming to a vote. Thanks in advance for any help with calling or kicking this message.

27. Too late kids. It already passed. Bye bye ammendment 4.
Shame on you Nancy Pelosi and the other 107 Democrats who took it upon themselves to " compromise" on our constitution. Shame on you all- you are a disgrace.
