Sign in here if you responded to Senator Feingold's call for a telephonic blitzkrieg of Washington. If you haven't called, please do so, our Leadership needs to be reminded that the People are watching. If you have called, thank you but you need to call again and let them know that the President was wiretapping long before the Use of Force Resolution and long before 9/11. This invalidates the argument offered by the President's Attorney General and they need to know that WE know.
The reason for this post, is that I do not see a great deal of fervor on this board for Russ's call to action. I can't recall how many times I've read posts looking for one of our leaders to call on us and respond with action. "Tell us what to do", is invariably the request from many. Well, Senator Feingold is standing up and asking for your help. He has stood up for our values, even when most of us didn't even know we shared those values. His was the lone vote against the Patriot Act and he has held the breech while others remained silent. Can we not now show our appreciation by responding to his call? I beg of you, head to your phone, right now and make a call to all our Senators and tell them, "We are watching. We will not be spied upon, lied upon and preyed upon." Tell them, "We refuse to live in fear of a tyrant, regardless of his nationality or country of origin." I refuse to suffer these Intolerable Acts of King George W any longer and I am asking you to heed the Senators call.
If we are to force an impeachment, the Democratic Senators need to know we are here to support that call. If we are to force an impeachment, the Republican Senators need to know we are here and prepared to call treason, "Treason!" Now, I know many of you are still bummed out and pissed off over the Alito nomination, none more so than I, but that does not mean our weapon is ineffective. Last year, we shut down Washington in order to get Barbara to stand up for us. That was 1 Senator. This year, we got 25 to stand up for us. The ringing phone works people, it really does. Let's take this baby out for another test drive and see if we can't shake the Chimp out of his tree. We got started too late with Alito, that was Our mistake; let's not allow such recent mistakes to be repeated so soon.
The most likely Republican suspects to listen to reason are DeWine, Graham and Spectre. If we can persuade 2 of these 3 to honor our Constitution, we can help put an end to this nightmare. This must stop and only you can stop it. Please, pick up your phone and call as many Senators as you can because all of America needs your help. The sick, the old, the poor and the broken hearted need your help. The victims of Katrina need your help. The families of the fallen soldiers need your help. The people of the world, whose shining city on a hill used to be America, need your help. And finally, I need your help. Please call. A few calls cannot break the levee. But your call joined with millions of others can drown out even the Gigantic Spin Machines that feed our Spiral of Silence. Will you join me in calling our Senators? I beg you, Once more into the breach dear friends, our Good Senator has called us to action. Will you now ignore that conscience call?
Yesterday, our last true President called on all of us to , "Be not afraid." When he asked, "What are we going to do with the rest of Our lives?", I believe he was also asking, "What are we to do about the future of our country?" Are we going to stand silently in fear and let this dream die? No, we can't. We can not. We must not. Please call and start driving the demons out of Washington. Grab whatever faith you hold onto and call out for Peace.
Sincerely,
Michael Lewis
A Proud Citizen of the United States of America.
