UPDATED: Let’s Keep McCaskill’s Phones Ringing And Those Faxes Humming!

UPDATE: Victory! For now at least. I’ve got some more news on this front later.

Today at 4:30 PM, senators will be voting on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s cloture motion on the new FISA bill. The Republican Minority Leader’s bill preserves immunity for telecom companies that allowed illegal wiretaps. A “No” vote on cloture stops the bill dead in its tracks. (If you’re confused as to why stopping telecom immunity is important, StopTheSpying.com has a great summary here.

Let’s keep the pressure on McCaskill to vote “No”. A good source has informed me that over McCaskill’s office received 1000 calls opposing telecom immunity by early Friday. But now is no time to stop. We need to whip up some more calls and faxes by 2:00 PM Eastern time, when Sen. McCaskill is due to take the Senate floor.
