1. Kos was good tonight, and I thought he was also talking to Reid and all

the Dems who may have misplaced their spines. Thanks for posting.

2. Kos is a great voice of passionate progressivism and a "new media" pioneer.

I'll always respect that dude.

3. Good point -- I hope they all were listening.

If Obama DOES filibuster I think Kos is right -- it would reenergize the support AND, as we know from the C-Span calls, attract some Republicans who were as disgusted with the House vote as we were.

I agree with what Kos said -- here's a chance for Obama to walk his talk.

I'm not sure if I see him initiating a filibuster, though (sadly), and I've not heard of anyone else -- like Dodd or Feingold -- mentioning it either.

4. Whatever he does will be talked about forever! nt

5. We must stand up to the assaults on the constitution no matter who the candidates

6. Kos nailed it. Every sentence was spot on.

It is time for the Democrats to stand up. Barack Obama needs to lead the charge.

7. Our leader needs to LEAD. It really shouldn't be that hard.

8. I like many others are tired of talk and no action. Obama needs to squash this bill like he CAN.

9. I think it's great to see early Obama Netroots Supporters nudging him to take a stand.

All the early supporters of Obama like the "Nation, Kos and Move On." were very vigorous in their support to the anger of many of their own Hillary supporters.

I'm glad to see them speaking out. If we Net Roots progressives don't show Obama now that we care about Civil Liberties and Restoring our Constitution after what Bushies have done ...we may not get a second chance.
