Do What Chris Dodd Says

Here's a good email from Matt Browner-Hamlin, Chris Dodd's Campaign Blogger. Let's just do what he says:

1. Watch the video

2. Call the Senate Judiciary Committee for free over the Internet, tell them to oppose retroactive immunity, and post the result of your call:

Dear bob,

In spring of 2006 I started seeing people put special notes to government agents in their email signature. The thinking was that if a government official was going to read your email, you might as well put a line in at the end to remind them that they were doing so illegally.

Yesterday afternoon I sat down with AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein. He's the technician who revealed that the NSA has secret rooms for sweeping up massive amounts of electronic communications on the internet - the story that prompted these sardonic email signatures.

Klein is calling on the Senate to not grant telecommunications companies retroactive immunity. He's also testifying to the scale of the Bush Administration's electronic surveillance:

"Everything you could imagine you use the internet for flows through these cables. It's not only international traffic, but a huge amount of domestic traffic too."

Klein is speaking out in defense of the rule of law because he knows how deep the rabbit hole of domestic surveillance really goes.

Watch the video of Klein talking about why he opposes retroactive immunity:

Klein is a hero for coming forward to bear witness to this dangerous violation of Americans' privacy...but the best way to honor his courage is to stand with him and with Senator Dodd to ensure that the companies that partnered with the Bush Administration can be held accountable for their actions.

Take action today - Call the Senate Judiciary Committee and tell them to oppose retroactive immunity.
