As part of its wiretapping program, the Bush Administration tapped -- get it? -- quite a few telecommunications corporations to help provide information to the government. Many corporations complied, handing over everything from billing and call records to recorded material. As you might expect, this has both civil libertarians and the customers of these companies up in arms. Now, the Administration is seeking to have a law passed that would retroactively protect these companies for their actions, from both criminal and civil suits. Working Assets has an easy-to-use form available to voice your opposition to this legislation with your Congressional delegation. I urge you to make your viewpoint known.
