Opponents of Retroactive Immunity Live To Fight Another Day

Senator Dodd.



While I have your attention there is another matter that troubles me and gives me pause to trust your own actions. It was pointed out that you added a provision to the foreclosure bill to REQUIRE spying on American's credit card purchases.



I have posted in blogs and sent faxes to my reps to refuse to pass that bill with that provision included.

We have you on board against one spy bill yet you introduce another of your own in it's place. It has no limitations, no controls, no consumer protections about what the feds can use transaction information for, noting to protect against self incrimination short of a person canceling all of there credit cards. Applying for a new card amounts to requiring a person to waive their 5th amendment rights.



It is full of legal holes that favor government abuses with no sign of even one protection for consumers or merchants.



It is BAD LAW that could stall good law. It is a shame the way unrelated law gets inserted into other-wise good bills as a way to try to "sneak" one past the American people.
