Let's flood his office with calls!!! :)

Dear ,
Stop Chairman Reyes from bringing telecom immunity back from the dead. Call him now.

Last week, Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic majority stood up to the President’s fear mongering. They killed the Senate bill on FISA that included retroactive immunity for telecommunication companies who spied on innocent Americans.

But Republicans want to bring immunity back to life and the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Silvestre Reyes (TX-16) said over the weekend he was ready to make the deal. We must stop him.

Call Rep. Reyes right now and demand he stands with the Democratic majority and against telecom immunity.

Intelligence Committee Chairman,
Rep. Silvestre Reyes
(202) 225-7690

Suggested Script:

"As the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Reyes must stand with Speaker Pelosi and the majority of House Democrats against telecom immunity.

I am depending on Chairman Reyes to stand up to President Bush and protect America without granting a get-out-of-jail free card to companies that broke the law."

Please report how your call went:

Make sure Chairman Reyes hears from you today. He needs to know we are counting on him. He needs to know that if he won’t stand up to President Bush, then DFA members will find someone to replace him who will.

Rep. Reyes can still make the right decision. As Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Reyes could lead the nation by proposing reforms that will make America safer. Or Chairman Reyes can be a lap-dog for the President and grant telecom immunity against the leadership of his own party. Let's make sure he makes the right choice.

Thank you for taking action.

-Charles
