Senator Charles Schumer
Senator Hillary Clinton
Rep. Maurice Hinchey
As your constitutent, I’d like to thank you for voting against the FISA Amendments Act of 2008.
As you know, the bill grants sweeping new spying powers to the President and will leave little court oversight to protect privacy rights.
The bill also capitulates to some of the most powerful corporations in the U.S. by giving immunity to telecommunication companies that broke the law by helping the Administration spy on the phone calls and e-mails of innocent Americans.
It made me proud to see you vote against this bill and I hope you will continue to vote on behalf of civil liberties and the Constitution in the future.
