...Or You Could Call a Congressman

By Armen

[Ashley, a 2L doing a field placement at the EFF, asked me to post what looks like a media release. Hyperlinks slightly modified by me. Enjoy. -- Armen]

***

As you may or may not know, this Monday there will be a vote on an update to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The current version awards both prospective and retrospective immunity to telecomms who assisted in the NSA warantless wiretapping program.

EFF has started a website, where users post photos and videos showing they are against telecomm immunity and government spying. We are trying to create as much media buzz as possible before Monday's vote.

Please, please, please take a few minutes today or over the weekend (the rain probably has you stuck inside anyway) to post a photo or a video to www.stopthespying.org. Also, if you could take a second and digg this (free registration required to vote for it) to bring more awareness, we would REALLY appreciate it.

If you'd like more information, visit this website.
