The ACLU and Glenn Greenwald have only a day or two to get enough
money to get their campaign against the Blue Dog DLC Vichy Dems
on the air.

It would be hypocritical of Dems to spend $1 million a day on
Obama or Clinton and ignore the only reason for wanting someone
elected: to prevent something like FISA warrantless spying of
American citizens from happening. Dems are doing it right now.

This is the sort of secret Russert got rewarded for carrying
with him to his grave, and yet we say nothing about FISA on DU.

Liiks like this is low on DU list of priorities since Greenwald says
it has to happen tonight.

Targeted to Steny Hoyer's district, and the conference committee heads.

"It doesn't affect me, it only applies to suspected terrorists, besides they're probably spying on me all the time anyway, and I have nothing to hide"

as soon as I read about it at Kos.

:kick:

:kick:

I'm so pissed about this!

It's not too late to get hundreds of DUers up in arms about this issue.

(Is there a "hope springs ever eternal" smiley?)

vote, they just passed the quarter of a million mark.

"...A few quick updates about the FISA/telecom campaign: The amount raised in the last 1 1/2 days is now an amazing $115,000 -- brining the total for this campaign to $195,000. By any measure, that is an extraordinary amount to raise for a campaign like this, through a handful of blogs, in such a short time. It attests to the intensity and depth of the constituency for defending our constitutional framework and the rule of law, and it will only grow.

New ads are being prepared right now to run ASAP in the districts of Hoyer, Carney and Barrow, and they will continue even if the vote occurs Friday.

Simon Owens interviewed several of the members of the "Strange Bedfellows" alliance and wrote an excellent article about the campaign. Bloggers, activists and organizations that want to join that alliance can do so here. The ACLU Press Release announcing this coalition, as well as a tool for embedding the amount raised for this campaign, can be found here at the Strange Bedfellows site.

As indicated yesterday, this will be an ongoing campaign for all matters relating to constitutional protections, civil liberties, unchecked government power, and the rule of law -- particularly devoted to removing from power those who enable the assault on our constitutional liberties and to put into power those devoted to their preservation. The massive money bomb being coordinated now by the Ron Paul faction will enable many more deserving political figures -- both good and bad -- to be targeted."
