FISA Fight: Final vote
FISA Fight: Final vote


by mcjoan

Tue Feb 12, 2008 at 02:49:07 PM PST

Despite the bitter disappointment many of us feel tonight, take a bit of heart in this--we could have lost everything in December, if Chris Dodd hadn't mobilized a massive grassroots effort against it. And in view of that, here are the 31 Senate heroes who have stood with Dodd on telco amnesty, and who will continue to.

Thank you, Senators.

Akaka (D-HI)
Baucus (D-MT)
Biden (D-DE)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Byrd (D-WV)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Cardin (D-MD)
Casey (D-PA)
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Klobuchar (D-MN)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Leahy (D-VT)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Murray (D-WA)
Obama (D-IL)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Sanders (I-VT)
Schumer (D-NY)
Tester (D-MT)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
Wyden (D-OR)

1. Thank you. I didn't yet know the FISA results. Shit. After Dodd spoke his heart
out last night for two and half hours!

Thank you all who supported this.

I'm calling my smarmy Senators' offices tomorrow (Burr and Dole) and TELL them they've lost my vote (which they never had, but how do they know that?)

I heard she was in Washington DC, but didn't go to the Senate today to vote.

7. I know.
How sad especially the two new senators. I had higher hopes for those two.
Feinstein, well that is expected.
