Reply #63: At first, I supported him through a tough WI primary [View All]

On a national level, I was MoveOn.org's ward captain in a district in Janesville, WI that was full of blue-collar Reagan Democrats (aka Paul Ryan's district). FYI, there is an active KKK chapter there, so this was a hard and somewhat dangerous sell.

I've marched, my kids have gone to Washington to protest, I donate money to Amnesty International, the World Wildlife Fund, and the ACLU. Maybe that's not enough in your eyes, but when Obama could have supported the majority of his constituency and endorse a more liberal health reform legislation, I saw him selling me out in backroom deals with Big Pharma.

The fact that he has little regard to Habeas Corpus, or to accountability to the most basic of human rights when it comes to a secret prison outside the Bagram air base, makes me wonder when he will put on his comfortable shoes - as he promised - and actually stand for something with actions instead of just words.

He simply has not risen to the level of leadership needed for the times he is currently serving in. Unfortunately, we are all stuck in this leadership vacuum where people like you actually think that it is better to demand leadership from the voters instead of demanding leadership from the President.

Very sad, indeed.
