On Tuesday, February 12, the Senate passed a terrible surveillance bill granting immunity to lawbreaking telecoms, putting the House and Senate at the brink of a face-off. Show your support for the House to keep telecom immunity out of the final bill!

Although civil liberties advocates and concerned citizens have been fighting endlessly for the improvement of the bill through amendments -- particularly the Dodd-Feingold amendment to strip telecom immunity from the bill -- the deck was stacked in favor of telecom immunity and pressure from the Administration prevented immunity from being stripped from the bill. The final vote for the Dodd-Feingold amendment to remove immunity was 31 to 67, and the final vote for the whole passing the whole surveillance bill was 68 to 29.

Slashdot reply: You don't use programs? What, you put the cat-5 in your mouth and try to *taste* the intruders?

An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure and has a lower TCO, than linux.
