Want a simple way to protest FISA and Immunity?
Turn off your cell phones, Blackberries and other devices that use cell phone technology. Shut 'em down. We lived somewhat better, as I remember, without those damned annoyances.

Take something like this national and they would notice, both the phone companies and the government, because the government would be losing their usage fees.

3. Can I play?
I never turned one on, so I can't turn it off!

Sounds like a great idea!

4. I agree! Particularly when driving. I see some states have a law against them.
It used to be you left home to get away from the phone. Now, they pay to have one they can take with them.

How's that study going about cell phones and bees?

8. Hi there -- I meant at the official Obama site.
I'm not registered there but a good number of people did register in that forum. There is no charge to post there. I don't because the wave of spam would be overwhelming.

6. Or
when your cell phone contract expires, go with Qwest. That is the ONLY company that turned * down because (gasp) it's illegal.

9. That does not mean...
Their traffic is not being routed through the other carriers. In fact, it is.
