Action Item One:
With the capitulation to Mr. Bush's demand for unlimited spying on Americans by Pelosi and Reid it is time for we, the grassroots, to support the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Freedom Foundation in their lawsuits against the passage of the FISA amendments act (HR 6304). Glenn Greenwald interviews Jameel Jaffer, the Director of the ACLU's National Security Project on the reasons why the ACLU is filing two actions.
You can help the ACLU now.
The constitutionality of this new law will be challenged by the EFF which needs your financial help now.
Action Item Two:
I have been following the Don Siegelman story on Bradblog.com for the last year or so. Briefly the former Alabama governor was a political prisoner in America based solely on his being a Democratic Party elected official. Now that he has been released from jail he is demanding that justice be done.
Guest blogger Steve Heller, Bradblog.com, writes:
Siegelman wants you to let Congress know that Rove must face the consequences of his actions. So do we.
Rove has been subpoenaed to testify before Congress tomorrow, July 10th, regarding the politicization of the Justice Department. The House Judiciary Committee wants to question Rove about his knowledge of the persecution prosecution of former Alabama Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman and the U.S. Attorney firing scandal.
Call House Judiciary Committee at 202-225-3951 and call House Rep. at 202-224-3121 to let them know that Don Siegelman deserves a fair hearing about what happened to him at the hands of a politicized Department of Justice under the Bush administration.
