No Immunity for Phone Companies!

[Eric J in MN]

An email I just sent to my senator, Amy Klobuchar:

Do not give retroactive immunity to phone companies.

Any company which violated our privacy in an illegal manner should pay damages.

This is about accountablity for breaking the law.

Phone companies have no motive to obey the law in the future if you give them retroactive immunity.

Once again, please vote against any bill which gives retroactive immunity to phone companies for privacy violations.

I wrote that after reading an article about how Democrats are considering a bill to help phone companies which helped the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretapping.

Please write or call at least one of your Senators with a similar message. You are welcome to use some or all of my words without mentioning me. Most Senators have email forms at their government websites.

5. Let's try to persuade as many Democrats as we can to say NO to Bush.

At this point, I can't name any specific Democrats who are supporting or opposing retroactive immunity for phone companies.
