The FISA bill & Telecom Immunity – Contact Your Senator

GAP is opposed to the new FISA bill, which would provide retroactive immunity to telecoms that allowed the Bush administration to illegally spy on their customer’s calls and e-mail. GAP client Babak Pasdar was instrumental to defeating such a provision that last time it was up for debate. Unfortunately, amnesty for phone companies has gained new traction in the FISA bill, which is scheduled to be voted on Tuesday. A nifty new tool enables you to directly contact Senators to tell them to vote for the Dodd-Feingold-Leahy amendment (S.A. 5064 to H.R. 6304).

The nifty aspect of this tool is that it will help you phone your Senators AND also provides the ability to track positions on FISA given your input.

Dear Readers, 7/2/2008

As I presume is relevantly well known that I am an advocate of GAP and the many painstaking neverending superb and excellent endeavors and accomplishments of GAP on behalf of all and Whistleblowers in General. Also it appears admirable that the continued and neverending superb and excellent due diligence, determination and perserverance is of the highest calibre, integrity and dignity to our US Consttituion, Laws and Democracy and with the intent of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all and with the best possible respect and regard to God, Man and Country.

Although the perplexity and/or serious perplexity remains as it appears clear and unmistakeable that our US Legislatures the US Executive Branch and our US Supreme Court have to a relevant extent in our most crucial concerns have clearly and unmistakeably been seemingly negligent and/or in serious violation of High Crimes and/or Misdeamoners within the recent decade (and/or decades).

Including and aside from the recent blockage Impeachment Hearings, FISA concerns, Torture, alleged Illegal War, Patriot Act, a multitude of US Government Private Contractor Abuses, a apparently best seller book intitled 'The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" By former Los Angeles District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi and many other henious and/or hedious allegations that it continues to appear that there continues to be no passage of the recent superb and excellent Whistleblower Legislation and the has seemingly and apparently been approved by both the US Congressional and Senatorial Houses with by those Representatives and by an overwhelming and veto proof majority, YET NO PASSAGE OF THIS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND VETO PROOF LEGISLATION. How should our brave and courages US Citzens and all those many other people who continue to couragesly respect and support, defend and praise our proper and forthright endeavors towards Democracy and not expect to be retaliated and/or severly retailated upon?!!? (and by these very same Senatorial and Congressional Legislative Leaders?!!?

Additionally, please note that from my view and from the continuing recent silience from our US Senatorial and Congressional Representative Leaders that it continues to appear that we have no passage of the much needed, veto proof majority of this current superb and excellent Whistleblower Legislation and have to contend with the deplorable excuse that one lone Congressional Individual Representative is able to block this legislation for over a years. How can this behavior be construed other than Dispicable, sad and disgusting?

Hopefully we will be on a more proper and appropriate course of action after the forthcomming 4th of July holiday towards a more proper and forthright OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY and especially towards our great Country and Democracy with the endeavor of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all and with the best possible respect and regard towards our Democracy, Laws and Religion and towards God, Man and Country.

My continued best wishes with good luck in your recent Senatorial endeavors. As I have apparently exhausted my communication endeavors with our US Legislatures and with less than expected responses, you have my permisson to forward this blog response reply if it should assist and/or confirm your endeavors.

Thank you and all for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Axel
