Senator Obama - Please Vote NO on Telecom Immunity - Get FISA Right

Join over 5000 (and counting) fellow Obama supporters in requesting Obama to vote against FISA. Join the group, Senator Obama - Please Vote NO on Telecom Immunity - Get FISA Right , on mybarackobama. The group profile reads

Senator Obama - we are a proud group of your supporters who believe in your call for hope and a new kind of politics. Please reject the politics of fear on national security, vote against this bill and lead other Democrats to do the same!

I'm an Obama donor and supporter, and I joined this group on MyBarackObama.  There are a little over 1700 people in it.  You should join it if you have an account on MyBO.

TPM's Greg Sargent writes:

Well, since then it's grown rapidly: It now has  over 4,000 members.

That's six times the 500 or so it had on Friday. It's a strong signal from Obama's own supporters that they won't sit idly by when he takes a position that they view as a betrayal of the change movement he's building.


Now the membership is almost 5100.
It's good to see that the progressives taking some action on this issue. We have until July 7th, to make our voices heard. We may get more time thanks to Senators Feingold and Dodd's efforts. So, Join Now.

Get over FISA.  It is a poorly written plan anyway.  When it gets up to the supreme court it will be knocked down because of all the civil liberties that are being taken away.  Even Roberts would have a hard time with this bill.

Why wait till it goes to the SCOTUS, when it can be stopped right now?

Re: Senator Obama - Please (2.00 / 1)

Hmm, boy am I  not sure about SCOTUS knocking it down. Especially not the court as it now stands. So I think it would be better re-write in now, correctly than to hope that SCOTUS will act properly.


Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

WHAT?! (none / 0)

Oh yeah... let us just all sit around and WAIT for the right leaning Supreme Court to give us back which should NEVER had been taken away.

Sorry you Lose!

The ONLY change that needs to happen with FISA is to add new technologies to it, such as email, cell phones, etc.

That is IT! Period! End of story!

Obama's triangulation (none / 0)

He's wrong on FISA, and I'm not optimistic that he'll change his mind on the "compromise" bill.

Question: does his support of the "compromise" bill mean that he'll do the same things Bush is doing if he's elected president?  Destroy the fourth amendment in the name of national security and the war on terror?
