DK & others signed the American Freedom Pledge.
Edited on Tue Nov-20-07 02:34 AM by anotheryellowdog
Will you join Dennis Kucinich and others who have already signed? I did. Obama also signed, and Hillary sent a statement of support. To sign, click here.

The American Freedom Pledge
We are Americans, and in our America we do not torture, we do not imprison people without charge or legal remedy, we do not tap people’s phones and emails without a court order, and above all we do not give any President unchecked power.

I pledge to fight to protect and defend the Constitution from assault by any President.

3. Typical Hillary
She can't actually sign it, because she needs some wiggle room in case the polls tell her this isn't a popular stance on the issue. It's that "having it both ways to appeal to everyone" syndrome. :eyes:

2. What's a statement of support?
Edited on Tue Nov-20-07 03:35 AM by frogmarch
Did Hillary write her own, personal pledge to make her support seem more emphatic?

Since I'm only me, I'll just sign the original pledge.

4. I think silverojo above has the best answer
to your questions. Other than that, all I can add is to click the Hillary link in my OP. That may shed more light on her motives. Personally, I'm going with silverojo's explanation.

Thanks for signing. :hi:

5. Ok, done.
This means that we will hear Obama and HRC publicly supporting H Res 799, right?

Right?
