Support the ACLU's push to halt Congressional passage of bills on warrantless wiretapping

jeralyn's asking us to pass this along and i'm more than happy to... somehow, someway, we need to stop this criminal activity...
From the ACLU (received by e-mail):
[N]ext week Congress returns from recess, and at the top of their agenda is passing legislation that would attempt to retroactively legitimize President Bush's unconstitutional warrantless wiretapping program. Two similar bills are slated to be marked up in, and possibly voted out of, committee next week - Rep. Wilson's H.R.5825 in House Judiciary on Wednesday, September 6, and Sen. Specter's S.2453 in Senate Judiciary on Thursday, September 7.

As part of our effort to spread the word about these bills and the danger they pose to civil liberties, I'm asking for your help. My goal is to get as many people as possible talking about NSA next week, especially on Wednesday, September 6.

Bloggers can help get this issue back into the national consciousness. Here's how.
Before Wednesday, September 6

* Spread the word. Mention it in a post, tell other bloggers, etc.
* Read the materials below for more information and background.

On Wednesday, September 6

* Write a post on NSA warrantless wiretapping.

The ACLU has lots of materials here.

thanks, jeralyn...
