> for its craven complicity in the White House's illegal
> warrantless wiretapping program.

> Since then, the phone companies and their allies in
> Washington have spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying
> Congress to grant them retroactive immunity. They ran
> ridiculous fear-mongering attack ads against any politician
> who dared to oppose them. President Bush threatened to veto
> any bill that allowed EFF's lawsuit to continue.

> Yesterday, Congress completely capitulated to the
> President's threats and voted to let the telecoms off the

> We need your help to take the fight to the next level.
> We're going to challenge Congress's unconstitutional grant
