Surveillance vote in house imminent, EFF's call for action

The fight is not over yet; the bill must be ratified by the House before it becomes law. This means the votes cast by your Congresscritter in the next couple days will likely be our last chance to hold the telecoms accountable and discover the full extent of the Bush administration's lawbreaking.
