Santa Claus Thanks Chris Dodd For the FISA FIlibuster

Santa Claus appears in this cartoon to thank Senator Chris Dodd for filibustering in the Senate today to prevent the FISA Amendments Act of 2007 from being passed into law. The new law would have given retroactive legal immunity to telecommunications companies for helping the Bush White House spy on Americans using the Internet and other electronic communications networks.

If it's legal, why do they need immunity? And if it it's not legal ... well, we wouldn't do anything illegal, would we?

Dodd rules the day!

Go Chris Dodd! You gave us the best Christmas present of all: A much-needed victory not just for us Americans, but most importantly for the US Constitution.

Some politicians are on the side of the large corporations: Exxon Mobil, CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T, etc. They are people like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and George Bush. Few are on our side. One is Chris Dodd. Now you won't hear what he did for us in your paper on on your news show. The big corporations don't own the internet YET. Posts like this are the one means to spread the truth. Send this to everyone you know!
