Below is the text of an email I got from Feingold/Progressive Patriots. They want us to sign a petition to ask for an investigation of Bush's warrantless wiretapping. I not only signed, I sent them money. Do the same if you can.
Begin email
Dear Mary,
A few weeks ago, the President confirmed news reports that he
directed the National Security Agency to wiretap the phones of
American citizens without court permission as required by law. When I
stood up against the PATRIOT Act, it was because I feared that the
government would use the few questionable provisions to harm our
rights and freedoms. Now, in light of the disclosure of the
government's warrantless wiretapping, I am more resolved than ever to
keep the PATRIOT Act from being reauthorized without fixing these same
broken provisions. In addition to fixing the PATRIOT Act, however, we
also need to hold this administration accountable for these apparently
illegal wiretaps, and to discover the facts about how President Bush
justifies taking these drastic actions in violation of existing law.
That's why I need your help calling for a full, unfettered
investigation of the administration's wiretapping of American
citizens:

I want to be clear here: we should do all we can to keep our country
safe from terrorists, whether they're in the United States or outside
our borders. But these wiretaps are being conducted without any
meaningful court oversight, apparently in violation of the law. And
we need to learn what the Bush administration knew, and when they knew
it. Please sign my petition, urging an investigation into this
program:

Just as I fought to protect our rights and freedoms when I felt that
parts of the USA Patriot Act endangered them, I also pledge to take a
leading role in investigating these illegal wiretaps. You helped keep
the PATRIOT Act from being reauthorized, and now, I need your help
again to protect our civil liberties.
Sincerely,
Russ Feingold
United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund
p.s. Please sign the petition today, and ask your friends to do
the same!
