Inslee Ammendment on NSA Spying "Thank and Spank"

Inslee Ammendment on NSA Spying "Thank and Spank"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thank and Spank" Action for Schiff-Inslee Amendment on NSA Spying

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please take the time to Thank or, if necessary, Spank
your Representative for their June 20 vote on the
Schiff-Inslee amendment (to the Defense
Appropriations bill) to force NSA compliance with
FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act).
With your help, we nearly denied funds to
the NSA for any domestic surveillance that is not in
compliance with FISA. The vote total was 207 in
favor, 219 opposed. Twenty Republican members of
the House joined with 187 Democrats to affirm that
America is a country of laws, and neither the
President nor any agency is above those laws.

Those Republican and Democrats who voted for the
amendment deserve to be thanked. Please be sure to
let them know you appreciate their effort.
Sadly, 13 Democrats betrayed our trust and voted
against this amendment. They clearly need a
"Spanking." Three didn't vote at all. This
will not be the last battle over domestic
surveillance, so your action now can build momentum
for broader support in the future. 207 is only 11
votes away from the magical 218 votes necessary for a
discharge
petition.

Please celebrate our liberties by working to
guarantee we can keep them, using our tools below.
Thank you for your continued patriotic commitment
to the fundamental values of our democracy. In the
spirit of '76, happy Independence Day!

Sincerely,
Bill Moyer
Executive Director
