ACLU petition to end warrantless tapping on citizens--sign up here.
ACLU affiliates in 20 states today filed complaints with Public Utility Commissions or sent letters to state Attorneys General and other officials demanding investigations into whether local telecommunications companies allowed the NSA to spy on their customers.
The ACLU today also sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission urging the agency to reconsider its refusal to investigate reports that at least three major telecommunications companies -- AT&T, BellSouth and Verizon -- cooperated with the NSA in an effort to collect calling information and call patterns on every American.
Hm...yeah, good luck with that. Honestly though, I want to see someone jailed, kicked, fried, fired--at least something--for the whole illegal spying mess, so I hope the ACLU achieves their goal. However, I won't hold my breath, waiting for something to happen.
