Why I love Oregon, Part 21208

Thank you Senator Ron Wyden for voting no on giving telecommunication companies immunity on spying on Americans and for adding an amendment that includes Americans overseas...From BlueOregon....

There is, however, a bright spot. An amendment by Senator Wyden was included in the bill. His amendment, opposed by the Bush Administration, ensures that the right of Americans to be free of warrantless wiretapping (and warrantless physical searches) will be protected even if they are overseas.
