Telcom Immunity = Domestic Surveillance Cover-up 

Senators Cantwell & Murry --

    As a tech savvy constituent, I'm writing to make sure that you are aware of the truly devastating risk to civil liberties that the equipment widely reported (see links below) to have been installed at domestically strategic surveillance locations poses to American citizens living in the US.  It is very important to our future freedoms that these reports be fully, publicly and independently investigated as a condition of any blanket grant of immunity, epically if such an investigation might find that governmental officials exceeded their statutory authority.

Sincerely,

    Thomas J. Sayles
