ACLU's call to action. Want the Dems to act like Dems? Check it out
Dear Friend,
Here's an email from the ACLU:


Fix it. Defend the Constitution! That’s the message we have to send to Speaker Pelosi, Senator Reid and every member of Congress over the next 20 days.

By all indications, the House and Senate will cast critical votes within three weeks — deciding whether or not to make the vast new spying powers that they granted the Bush Administration in August permanent.

We can't let that happen. That's why we're starting the FISA Flood of 2007 with today's leadership switchboard shutdown. All our members of Congress but especially leadership — who control the agenda and whose actions impact us all — need to know just how many Americans demand they act to restore the Constitution. Here's three things you can do, right now:

1. Call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at (202) 225-4965.

2. Call Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at (202) 224-3542.

3. Call your own representative. You can look up your representative's phone number here.

It’s clear what freedom demands. And this is what we need every Member of Congress to hear:

3. Make it permanent?
It seems that that would be a clear violation of there oath of office to defend and to protect the constitution.
I'll call and tell them that.

4. Like someone said earlier in a post I read, every little bit helps, hopefully
the pressure will become productive and postive actions will take place.

11. You know what really PISSES me off?
The fact that we have to do this.

This is an issue that we, as Democrats, should be able to take for granted.
What happened?
Why are we repeatedly forced to work so hard to get our Democratic representatives to REPRESENT us?
