I have been following your discussion of the FISA legislation in your recent columns, and found a bit of inspiration to do something civic-mined. Your clear and compelling analysis (along with a little reflection over the 4th of July weekend) inspired me to make a contribution to the ActBlue campaign (Blue America PAC vs Retroactive Immunity).
Our soldiers past and present have risked dying to defend this country and our freedoms, so anyone who reads about these infringements on our constitutional freedoms and is not compelled to do *something* (contribute to ActBlue, write an editorial for your local newspaper, contact your congressmen/senators to tell them that you care about how they vote on this issue, something) is an American only in name. Show a little courage and do something, all I did was give up a dinner at Red Lobster to help buy an ad that hopefully brings this issue to more people's attention.
