In my email this morning was the weekly "Update from Congress.org."  I really like receiving this because you can click on one of the issues, read about it and then write a comment that gets sent to your Congressional Representatives.  For instance, today their topics were:

State of The Union Address Monday Night

• Obama Gets Big Win in South Carolina
• Stimulus Package Announced
• Harry Reid Names Senate Priorities

I clicked in further and found this issue:

Senate Takes Up Intelligence Bill

With a February 1 expiration date looming over the current law, the Senate is taking up debate on changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The most controversial provision of the bill concerns granting telecommunications companies retroactive immunity from lawsuits for their role in helping the government spy on American citizens without a warrant. Many Senators and privacy groups oppose this provision.
Support Immunity
Oppose Immunity

Senator Arlen Specter has supported an amendment that would allow lawsuits, but with the government as the defendant, rather than telecom companies. Senator Dianne Feinstein supports an amendment that would name the FISA bill as the sole provider of the President's spying authority.

I have an opinion about this topic so I wrote a comment and had it sent off.   These "Updates" allow you to keep up-to-date on issues you feel are important and investigate into others.  It is my opinion that it is extremely important to let your voice be heard and this is a very convenient way to do so.
