Two crimes don’t make a right!

**************************************************************
Two crimes don’t make a right!

The first crime was the Executive branch’s practice of spying on Americans without a warrant, a direct violation of our 4th Amendment. The second crime would be if Congress granted immunity to the telecom companies who cohort with the Federal government to commit the first crime. Two crimes don't make a right.

Since we no longer have the Constitutional right to "redress our grievances" with the Federal Government, we have no other recourse than the ability to sue those who cooperate with those who violate our rights! When the government stops being the vehicle to protect American rights what better way is there than to sue the corporations who actually commit crimes at the government’s request? Suing the telecom companies is a wonderful checks and balance alternative.

What a horrendous precedent this would set if Congress granted immunity to the Telecom companies. Imagine a government that was free to violate your rights and then freely grant immunities to anyone else that violated your rights.

Call your Senators and Representatives and insist they vote AGAINST immunity to the telecoms!
