The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a class-action lawsuit against AT&T on January 31, 2006, accusing the telecom giant of violating the law and the privacy of its customers by collaborating with the National Security Agency (NSA) in its massive and illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications.
In December of 2005, the press revealed that the government had instituted a comprehensive and warrantless electronic surveillance program that ignored the careful safeguards set forth by Congress. This surveillance program, purportedly authorized by the President at least as early as 2001 and primarily undertaken by the NSA, intercepts and analyzes the communications of millions of ordinary Americans.

2. If you have an AT&T account, they should contact you.
All the class action suite I've ever known researched WHO was affected by the claim. Some don't contact you until there's a settlement, just to let you know you need to claim a check (unfortunately a very small one in most cases).

4. That's good. All of the spying telecoms should also be sued.
