Concerning the FISA capitulation and what we should do about it....
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 04:45 PM by OwnedByFerrets
Our candidate, Sen. Obama....the man we are putting so much trust in...can step up to the plate and make a strong statement on this bill. He is THE leader that can put a stop to this madness, either by gathering the democratic forces with votes, or if necessary, by filibustering.
Please Mr Obama, do the right thing and make us proud of why we are putting our FULL support behind you.
If you agree with me, call( 202-224-2854) and write his office and his campaign letting him know that we are counting on HIM.

on edit: We must hold him to his promise" "It does, however, grant retroactive immunity, and I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses."


edit: His office IS taking phone calls and are very nice and let you say your piece. Please call.

3. there's something you can do

Watch the money rolling in

All the money raised will go to fund accountability for congressmembers supporting retroactive immunity and warrantless wiretaps.

6. Unfortunately I can't ...
my representatives voted against it. It's always the same ones voting against the interests of the people, but for some reason, they are not the ones held accountable.

7. I have a better idea
Contact those who voted nay.

Encourage them, come January, not to retain Pelosi as Speaker.

We may not oust her in November (it's too late for that route), but we can oust her in January.
