Letter Sent Apr. 1 to Congressman Moran

(With copies to Senators Warner and Webb)

Dear Congressman Moran,

I am happy to read that the U.S. House of Representatives has withstood pressure from the White House and the Senate to buckle under and allow immunity for the telephone companies as part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Now that it recognizes its strong-arm tactics are indeed diluted, the White House, according to today's Wall Street Journal, will once again apply pressure on the House to accept its goal to excuse the phone companies from violating the law.

I am proud of the House and I certainly hope you and your colleagues (and perhaps even some Senate members!) will continue to be stalwart and ignore Bush and his cronies who represent Big Business, rather than the citizens of the United States, and who never quaver in their attempts to weaken our civil rights laws.

Sincerely,
Patriciadc
