Suggestions on how to improve the "Idea for Change"?

See http://get-fisa-right.wetpaint.com/page/Change.org+idea+for+second+round for the current statement of our "idea for change". Can we make it more compelling by the time voting starts on Jan 5?

Good suggestion, thanks eggy!

Here's the text; the formatted version with video is at http://get-fisa-right.wetpaint.com/page/Change.org+idea+for+second+round

Get FISA Right, repeal the PATRIOT Act, and restore our civil liberties

FISA and the PATRIOT Act strike at the core of our Fourth and First Amendment Rights and institutionalize a surveillance society -- and FISA's telecom immunity clause mocks the rule of law by not holding telecom companies accountable for any illegal actions. Beginning the new Administration and Congress by focusing on these issues sends one of the clearest signals possible that that the new government is committed to ending the abuses of the last eight years and restoring our civil liberties.

Please see my blog post the "Turning the Page on FISA" at http://criminaljustice.change.org/blog/view/turning_the_page_on_fisa for more.
