Please, Senator Obama, do not allow immunity for telecommunications companies to pass in the upcoming FISA vote. This is not just any issue. This is at the core of the corrective processes that will have to be addressed if we are to regain our footing as a society in America. We cannot allow what's happened to pass silently into the darkness. We owe it to ourselves and to future generations to be allowed to examine ourselves and our behavior.
The abuses that have occurred are, let's face it, the embodiment of the Big Brother Is Watching You mentality that we've been warned about for so long. We have to be vigilant against this mindset, because it strikes at the heart of freedom and dynamism in our culture. This isn't about being vindictive to misbehaving corporations, but about understanding who we are and why. This, Senator, is everything your campaign is about and more. You CANNOT yield in any way to these influences. If I could say it any more strongly, I would do so.
I am your strong supporter, and I believe in you and what you're doing. I don't think any of us is perfect, so I am trying to tell you what I believe with all of my heart would be a terrible mistake! You can stop this, sir. You can maintain our lifeline to the truths we will have to face. To give away our rights here under the law would be to pay what I believe is too dear a price.
Please, please sir, don't do it!
