Subject: Tell Senator Obama: Don't cave on telecom immunity
Dear Friend,
This week, Senators Dodd and Feingold won a battle in the fight to stop the FISA capitulation: they've delayed a vote on the bill until after the July 4th recess, which buys them more time to shore up the votes they need to defeat the bill.
However, it's unlikely they'll succeed without real support from leaders in Congress, most of whom have already abandoned us: Senator Reid caved in long ago, and Speaker Pelosi finally folded last week. There is one major leader left who should support our cause: Senator Barack Obama. Senator Obama said he was "unequivovally opposed" to retroactive telecom immunity last December, but lately, he's started to backpedal. We need to make sure he does what's right.
I just signed a petition calling on Senator Obama to stand up for the Constitution by voting no on FISA -- I hope you will too.
Please have a look and take action.

The letter from CredoAction.com was sent to me over the last few days by three different progressive activists I respect in New Mexico who were early Obama supporters that are now concerned about his changes on issues like granting retroactive immunity to the telecoms that cooperated with the Bush/Cheney administration on illegal spying on Americans.
