Put Congress on notice that the American people don’t want a compromise that sells out their rights.

On Friday, the House of Representatives voted 293-129 to give immunity to telecom companies that broke the law and rubberstamp a program of vacuum cleaner style surveillance that sweeps up the phone calls and emails of Americans. We expect the Senate to take up the bill sometime this week.

Please, call your senators now. Urge them to oppose H.R. 6304, the unconstitutional Hoyer/Bush FISA bill.

To find your elected officials, please enter your ZIP Code. If you live in a split district, you may need to enter your full address.

When you call, say something like this:

I am a constituent calling about H.R. 6304, the Hoyer/Bush FISA bill that just passed the House of Representatives. I urge you to vote "NO" because:

1. The Hoyer/Bush FISA bill allows for mass and untargeted surveillance of Americans’ communications.
2. The Hoyer/Bush FISA bill contains blanket immunity. It basically guarantees lawsuits against telecom companies will be dismissed. Ongoing lawsuits may be our last best hope of exposing the extent of illegal spying.
3. If leadership will not lead, it is the responsibility of every lawmaker to lead on this issue. You need to do what your constituents and the American people demand. Bowing to pressure from Republicans, the White House, the telecommunications companies and even Democratic leaders is unacceptable.
