Reply #34: I am not going to bug Admins privately about this. As a onetime admin of a site, that is tiresome.

This is a public issue --

(Does DU take a strong and serious stand on warrantless surveillance or not?)

You can continue brow-beating me on this thread if you wish, in an effort
to discourage other DUers from rating up the notion of an official DU Activist thread. It is up to DUers to decide if they want a sticky thread on this. It is up to the Admins to agree or disagree. I am not the only Dem who sees this as a hugely important issue.

Others have posted about this at length before the Senate vote
only to see message after message die with 10 responses or less,

(some had 10 page views or less!)

while thousands of people were over here reading about and discussing
the implications of the Roger Clemens hearing or the Giants game and
its impact on upcoming presidential primaries.

So, where are all those "DU Activists" we used to be famous for?

My real question is how many replies would the FISA threads be
getting if this was "ISSUE ONE" on every major news/talk show?

Manufacturing consent?
