Dear Mr. Rudolph:
Thank you for contacting me concerning the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
You should first know that the FISA bill which passed both the House and Senate a few weeks ago is a temporary measure — an interim fix extending for the next six months. I would have preferred the version offered by Senator Carl Levin, which I voted for. Unfortunately, that version did not pass, and I voted for the extension on a temporary basis only, because I couldn’t allow there to be a gap in our intelligence gathering activity – our safety depends on our ability to continue tracking terrorist networks.
Please know that I will actively work during this temporary six month extension to ensure any permanent FISA extension strikes the right balance between protecting our safety and protecting our civil rights.
The resignation of Attorney General Gonzales is the first step in achieving that balance, and I hope that his departure lifts the cloud that has lingered over the Justice Department. He leaves a legacy of justice tarnished. I was among the first to call for his resignation, and I am hopeful that a new Attorney General will be a more independent voice for the people and uphold the principles of law and justice in this country.
Thank you again for your input, and please don’t hesitate to contact me again regarding this or any other issue.
Sincerely,
Amy Klobuchar
United States Senator
Amy Klobuchar is a piece of work, to put it mildly. She owes Minnesotans an explanation of why she would take our Forth Amendment rights and put them in the bloody hands of BushCo. Frankly it’s disgusting to think i voted for her and her vote is an outrage.
Let her know what you think–
