A Man with Integrity: Russ Feingold

To paraphrase others: He was against it before he was against it completely.

He is still against it.  And he is intending to filibuster it. Telecom Immunity should be filibustered.

Go, Feingold!

“This is a deeply flawed bill, which does nothing more than offer retroactive immunity by another name,” declared Feingold and Dodd. “We strongly urge our colleagues to reject this so-called ‘compromise’ legislation and oppose any efforts to consider this bill in its current form. We will oppose efforts to end debate on this bill as long as it provides retroactive immunity for the telecommunications companies that may have participated in the President’s warrantless wiretapping program, and as long as it fails to protect the privacy of law-abiding Americans.

“If the Senate does proceed to this legislation, our immediate response will be to offer an amendment that strips the retroactive immunity provision out of the bill. We hope our colleagues will join us in supporting Americans’ civil liberties by opposing retroactive immunity and rejecting this so-called ‘compromise’ legislation.”

 I urge you to call your Senators and tell them to support Sen. Feingold and oppose Telecom Immunity.
