Dear Friend, If I didn't see it with my own eyes on CSPAN 2, I would have never believed it. The United States Senate passed a bill Tuesday granting retroactive immunity to telecom companies that helped spy on Americans -- without a warrant. Pretty amazing ... Congress just sanctioned the single largest invasion of privacy in American history. In the face of this imminent defeat, I became even more thankful for Chris Dodd's leadership throughout the campaign to move our national debate to a more thoughtful and progressive place - whether it was about ending the war, climate change, civil liberties, or many other important issues. And I wanted to do something, anything, to show my appreciation for all that he did during the campaign. I called one of the last Presidential campaign staffers remaining to ask what I could do to help -- this time, not as a staffer, but a citizen. He said, "Tim, honestly, I know the campaign debt is on his mind. I just wish we could take care of this for him." So, I asked if I could send out an email to the list, one last time from me, with a simple request. I just made a $25 contribution to help Chris Dodd retire his campaign debt. Will you join me, right now...and together, this Presidents Day Weekend, knock this out for him? www.ChrisDodd.com/Contribute For old times sake, Tim Tagaris Former Internet Director for Chris Dodd's Presidential campaign P.S. This email will be just as much a surprise to Senator Dodd as it was to you -- so please, let's make it a pleasant one and retire his debt this weekend. www.ChrisDodd.com/Contribute Paid for by Chris Dodd for President, Inc., PO Box 51882, Washington, DC 20091, Info@ChrisDodd.com To stop receiving email from Dodd for President, Inc., visit http://ChrisDodd.com/de-list
