Do you guys realize that we've been talking nothing but FISA for three weeks
and if you're an one-issue voter and it's FISA - then you need to expand it a little bit - Obama is and will be a fine President of the United States - it's OKAY to disagree with him in some issues - and I'm one of them - but I also know that this fight is lost because of the Blue Dogs (which in my opinion, needs a better corralling job - and that's why Diana DeGette needs to wake up and smell the coffee and do her own corralling (she is the Deputy Whip)).

Let's focus on something else - FISA is said and done, and we can move forward. Obama already promised that he will fix the FISA when he's the President - the bill probably will be supplanted by a brand new, strict bill that the MAJORITY (which will, naturally, grow) will approve, filibuster-proof (as the Rethuglicans continue to bleed) and will make it a codified law that cannot be changed under any circumstance.

Enough is enough, let's move forward, and let's focus on the change that is on the horizon.

5. Yes, and they've been monitoring all of our posts even longer than that.
Not to mention our phones, bank records, credit purchases, medical records, and anything else we used to think was private. And they'll get away scot free.

7. Well, thanks for pointing that out.
No money to the DNC either until they differentiate between money for the Blue dogs, and the real Democrats.

8. *applaud*
Let's move on and promise to hold Obama's feet to the fire when he's president. He promised as president he'd fix the bill and go after the criminals. McCain surely won't do either so let's do what we can to make this country better - let's get the better guy elected.

I have no regrets for sending in a donation for both myself and my husband this week, as I've done every week I've been able to afford it.

9. We need someone to FIGHT the Blue Dogs, not bend over for them!
That doesn't set the tone for needed *LEADERSHIP* in 2009 to not only right the country and kick out the Republicans, but RIGHT THIS PARTY TOO and get rid of the corporate tools from it as well! Obama's not giving us good vibes about that happening any time soon.

The health of the planet may be at stake if the oil companies keep buying off these crooks at the expense of us doing anything expeditiously to heal this planet (on MANY fronts)!
