Bradley Whitford took time out from a film shoot in Calgary to make this video on the importance of opposing retroactive immunity for telecom companies that wiretapped Americans without a warrant. He is calling on all of us to contact our Senators and ask them to support Sen. Dodd's promised filibuster.

Telecom immunity is scheduled to be discussed this week and it is crucial that all of our Senators hear from us before they vote. We need 40 votes to sustain Sen. Dodd's filibuster, if it comes to that.

The Courage Campaign teamed up today with CREDO Action (from Working Assets) to send this video out to all of our members asking them to call Senator Dianne Feinstein. You can report back on your calls to Sen. Feinstein here and find all of her regional office numbers.

Or, if you don't live in California, use the Capitol Switchboard number to reach your Senator 202.224.3121. Flood their phone lines and fill up their voicemail!

Bradley Whitford: No More Dirty Tricks! Here's the RSVP page. The call starts at 4PM PST.

On Monday, September 24, from 4-5 p.m. PDT join Bradley Whitford of "The West Wing" fame, bloggers Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake.com and John Amato of CrooksandLiars.com, plus California pollster Ben Tulchin of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research for a special conference call hosted by Rick Jacobs of the Courage Campaign.

This video was filmed at the Blogger party at Steve Audio's a few weeks ago. I've signed on to be part of the Courage Campaign's effort to stop the Swiftboat loving lawyers plan to screw with California.

Jane: "On Monday there’s going to be a conference call at 4pm PT/7pm ET with Bradley Whitford that is open to anyone. You can RSVP at the Courage Campaign’s website."

We would like to invite you to a special Courage Campaign conference call this Monday, September 24, with Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing"), Jane Hamsher (firedoglake.com), John Amato (CrooksandLiars.com) and Ben Tulchin, California's pollster for Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research.

On last night's episode of Real Time, Bill said he's received an advance copy of Jesus Camp and was very "disturbed" by it. After playing a short clip from the movie, Bill Maher and his panel -- which included a Muslim (Reza Aslan), a conservative Christian (Sandy Rios), and a liberal Episcopalian (Bradley Whitford) -- discussed the underlying issues of the film and the notion of raising and teaching "Christian soldiers" to fight in God's army.
