Sign on to this letter and tell Harry Reid: No Immunity for Lawbreaking Companies! [From action.openleft.com | Signup]
My comments:
I can’t believe we need to make this any more clear. There is no reason to allow the telecom industry to evade accountability. They are publicly-owned and their business models are based on the use of licenses granted by the people of the United States. They need to be reminded of this, and I expect you as public officials, who act on behalf of the same people who own these companies and grant those licenses, to do just that.
Surely there are enough Senators brave enough to stand with Senator Dodd and against a president who can’t even muster the support of 1 in 4 of his constituents. I would be embarrassed if I couldn’t play that hand.
Go sign it.
