STOP THE MADNESS!!

Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez – the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the land – has emerged as the Administration’s primary spokesperson, defending the ongoing practice of illegal domestic wiretaps without court orders.

Talk about a conflict of interest! How can the American people expect a fair, open, and objective investigation from the Justice Department, when the Attorney General is the lead defender of the Administration’s repeated illegal acts?

If Attorney General Gonzalez insists on defending the policy, then it’s time for him to step aside and allow an independent investigation to move forward without him. It’s time for him to authorize a special counsel.

Demand that Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez appoint a special counsel into the Bush Administration’s illegal domestic wiretaps now!

Dear Attorney General Gonzalez,

I am writing to demand that you appoint a special counsel to investigate the Bush Administration's use of domestic NSA wiretaps without FISA court authorization.

Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978 to balance national security with civil liberties by requiring judicial authorization of domestic wiretaps.  FISA even gives the President a 72-hour grace period to start a wiretap before coming back for retroactive judicial approval - to ensure that law enforcement can react quickly to imminent threats.

FISA is the only legal process for obtaining secret domestic wiretaps.  Yet President Bush apparently believes he is above the law, even though this carefully constructed surveillance review process was good enough for 4 Presidents before him.

It's time to thoroughly investigate the Bush Administration's practice of authorizing secret, warrant-less domestic wiretaps outside of the FISA process.

If you, as the nation's highest ranking law enforcement officer, insist on defending this illegal policy, then it's time to step aside and allow an independent investigation to move forward without you.  It's time to end this clear conflict of interest and authorize a special counsel.

The American people are watching.  I urge you to act.

Sincerely,

Your Name
Your Address
