To my neighbor...

From Craigslist:
To my neighbor who I saw pooping in his yard yesterday

Date: 2008-06-05, 2:52PM EDT


I saw you couched down with your pants around your ankles. I asked "Hey, what are you doing?". Your reply was "Pooping in a groundhog hole! I read about it online. It's suppose to trick the groundhog into thinking another animal has moved into it's lair.".

Since you are normally a sane person I refrained from calling the police.

Call Rodney Re.: Telco Spying Immunity!

http://www.stopthespying.org/NJ/11

Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey's 11st District

RODNEY F. Supports Telco Immunity!!

If Rep. Frelinghuysen is your representative, please contact him to remind him that immunity for lawbreaking phone companies is unacceptable:
(202) 225-5034
What To Say

I'm a constituent and I'd like to urge Rep. Frelinghuysen to oppose telecom immunity.
Vote "no" on the new FISA bill (H.R. 6304), which contains blanket immunity for telecoms that cooperated in warrantless government spying. It is very important to me that Rep. Frelinghuysen defend the rule of law and allow Americans to have their day in court against lawbreaking telecoms.
Supporters of telecom immunity will tell you that H.R. 6304 is better – but it’s not. The changes have been purely cosmetic, and your constituents can see right through it. False compromises that grant the telephone companies immunity for participating in warrantless wiretapping are unacceptable.
Don't have time to make a phone call? Email Rep. Frelinghuysen instead.
