proposed spy law is bad news!!

Congress is on the verge of making a bad deal to expand the executive's power to conduct electronic spying and slam the door shut on efforts to find out how and why the government misled lawmakers and the public about the extent of its ambitious program to spy without court order. Passed by a vote of 293-129 in the House, the overhaul of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is billed as a "compromise." It is nothing of the sort. Lawmakers are caving in on the most significant aspect of the law and practically committing the next president to accept it.

Call your congressman!
