Bill Nelson sent me an email about FISA...paste below:
Thank you for contacting me about the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act (FISA).

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, of which I am a member, recently passed an updated version of FISA. The bill protects the constitutional rights of American citizens while allowing the U.S. government to intercept the communications of foreign-based terrorists.

During the FISA debates, I introduced an amendment to the bill which would have taken away retroactive immunity from the telecommunications companies that allegedly provided the National Security Agency with private communications and phone call data. Although the amendment failed, please know I will continue to monitor this issue once FISA is considered on the Senate floor.

I appreciate your taking the time to inform me of your views, and don’t hesitate to contact me again in the future.

1. what kind of
bull is that.

Nelson just voted FOR retroactive community with a bunch of other dinos.

When re-election time comes around he needs to have another demo or independent
run against him.

4. I wrote to Senator Nelson after his vote to tell him
how disgusted I was with him and not to expect any support from me ever again. I also called him the Joe Lieberman of florida.

5. Republicans want to destroy FISA
Their plan is to spy on journalists, politicians, etc., regardless of involvement in terrorism plots.

7. Agree. FISA needs no fixing
Virtually all requests for snooping are aproved by FISA.
