Senate Also Passes PAA Extension

The Senate also passed a 15 day extension to the Protect America Act late last night. It will head to President Bush's desk to be signed into law, presumably.

While this will give the Senate more time to negotiate a better solution for FISA reform legislation, it also gives us more time put pressure on them to ensure they end warrantless wiretapping and hold strong against retroactive immunity.

Continue the pressure today by writing your Senators through CREDO Action's email tool.

I'll have more updates as the day goes on about what we can expect from the next two weeks of debate, negotiations, and voting.

Matt Browner Hamlin helped lead the fight against telecom immunity as part of Senator Chris Dodd's presidential campaign. He has joined the CREDO Mobile team to stop the Bush administration's illegal wiretapping program and hold the telecom companies accountable for their lawbreaking.
