Action pnum778 Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Support the Dodd stand against Telecom immunity ********** [083453:031608] D.V., Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA With the endorsement and help of this Administration the telecommunitcation corporation particated in the spying on American people. This is not only a violation of our privacy as a citizen it is also illegal. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW AND THIS CORPORATIONS NEED TO BE SHOWN THAT THIS IS FACT. It is time for them to take their medicine for their unlawful acts. The President is wrong and needs to be shown that it is not all right to continuously break the laws of the land and obstruct the Constitution of the United States of America. Eavesdropping without a warrant is a wanton and blantant violation of the laws of our land. Stop these practices now. ********** [182259:020708] e.g., Rogersville, TN The telecom's knew what they were doing was illegal. The new Att. Gen's. law firm defends Verizon. ********** [020823:020708] D.F., Southfield, MI It's as if the W Bush administration wants to drag America down any way it can. Why would anyone be so hostile to the Constitution? ********** [063224:020608] A.Z., Santa Barbara, CA Actions have responsibility. These telecoms have a great many lawyers and they made these decisions knowingly. They need to be held to that decision!!! How can we raise our children with this kind of misdeed?!!!!! Sincerely, Arnette Zerbe ********** [082429:020508] J.M., Kingston, NY NO IMMUNITY TO THE TELECOMS! SEN CLINTON AND SEN OBAMA PLEASE STEP UP AND LEAD! To All House And Senate Members NO RETROACTIVE IMMUNITY FOR THE TELECOM GIANTS! Thank You Sen. Dodd for heading back to Washington and taking your stand on this all important issue. Thank you for upholding your sworn oath to defend our Constitution. Most Constitutional Law Scholars believe the NSA warrant less spying program violated the Fourth Amendment of The Bill Of Rights concerning Unreasonable Search and Seizure. In no way, should any Bill be passed giving retroactive immunity to the phone companies. They were accomplices to law breaking. We need to send a clear message to future Commanders in Chief that if you engage Corporations into becoming accomplices in law breaking, there will be a price to pay, for both the President, and the guilty Corporations. ********** [001951:020208] S.B., Oklahoma City, OK Oklahomans are opposed to violation of our Constitutional rights. OPPOSE TELECOM IMMUNITY for Oklahomans. ********** [042520:020108] E.C., Zion, IL I am an AT and T customer and I do not like them giving away ANY information that I do not specifically give then permission to make available. Nobody should be immune from following the rules that we all have to live by. ********** [190018:012808] K.O., Philomath, OR It's outrageous and unacceptable for corporations that committed crimes against Americans to be let off, just for their loyalty to the criminal Bush administration. I demand accountability for both. ********** [063642:012808] E.A., Old Bridge, NJ They broke the law and they belong in jail. There should be no immunity for the heads of the telecommunications companies who violated our rights and broke our laws. They can go to jail just like Martha Stewart and Leona Helmsley. They do not deserve immunity and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The crimes these telecommunications executives committed were much greater and more destructive than anything Martha Stewart or Leona Helmsley did. They betrayed the trust of the American people and their clients. Equal justice for all! ********** [203928:012708] C.B., New York, NY Insist the this law-breaking, Constitution-defying administration goes no further in usurping basic rights of free expression and due process. ********** [180601:012708] A.B., Lexington, KY The telecoms are committing a form of information rape. STOP!!! ********** [150820:012708] A.M., Port Clinton, OH In changing times, we must be even more careful to preserve the rights set forth in our Constitution. Please support the Dodd Stand against Telecom immunity. ********** [081106:012708] E.A., Philmont, NY Honor my personal right to privacy and freedom of speech. A stranger has no right to invade our homes through the use of telecommunication devices. ********** [195519:012608] J.N., Elgin, IL This is very easy to understand why bush thinks telecom should have immunity. When we start to talk and tell the truth, someone else will hang. Who might that be???? ********** [075145:012508] s.m., Westport, CT Every person is responsible for their actions!This applies to Corporations as well as individuals.The legal system should apply to them as much as any citizen.Granting them immunity is disrespectful to the Constitution. ********** [064352:012508] L.W., Dripping Springs, TX We should not reward the companies that illegally turned over records when that was not true of all companies. ********** [053440:012508] J.A., Toledo, OH As Senator Dodd has indicated, if the telecommunications companies did no wrong (as Bush says), they will be able to prove their innocence in brief court appearanaces. But, if Bush and his administration did break the law, court appearances would prove the dictorial techniques, deception, and crimes committed by Bush and his administration. ********** [073348:012408] D.B., Spring, TX The telecom companies at their executives' behest, did knowingly and willfully assist our federal government in breaking laws by giving the tools and allowing this government to spy on innocent American citizens. This is yet another high crime and misdemeanor that should cause the public and political demand for impeachment of this Administration and therefore, should not call for immunity to those who were parties to these crimes. ********** [155337:012208] M.K., Tulsa, OK Your oath to defend the Constitution requires you to discard any idea of telecomm immunity. They collaborated with Executive and the NSA to violate the Fourth Amendment and must be held accountable. ********** [140710:012208] b.d., Youngstown, OH This is outrageous that the rich are given so much illegal power and are protected by our country also! We need to get back to the times of our forefathers who signed the Constitution and cared about the citizens of this country, not just the rich ones. ********** [080612:012208] R.B., Silver City, NV Stand up for the rights of the people. Bush and the telecom's broke the law. Nothing new there. You were put in office to protect and provide for the people of Nevada. Not at and t, etc. Thanks ********** [073749:012208] P.N., Oklahoma City, OK How does a recommendation for selective immunity from criminal prosecution differ from obstruction of justice? Corporate violators and their responsible officers should be charged, and guilty members of this crooked administration should be impeached or otherwise removed from office. ********** [203919:012108] R.M., Burton, WA All parties must be held accountable in any illegal action, All of us as citizens of this country live within laws that hold us accountable. Why should the big corporations or government be above the same law as the rest of us? ********** [181136:012108] W.D., Bearsville, NY Destroy the media corporatocracy that has corrupted our democracy and turned America into a fascist state! ********** [163352:012108] L.S., Whitewater, WI We must move toward more democracy in this country. That means more openness and no spying on citizens. I have traveled to Latin America. I know about impunity. We must never become a culture of impunity. **********
