MoveOn.org Demands Obama Filibuster FISA

MoveOn demands a filibuster

Insisting on a campaign promise that Obama would filibuster any wiretapping bill that included retroactive immunity for the telecommunications companies that let the government listen in, Obama's allies at MoveOn are asking supporters to "call Sen. Obama today and tell him you're counting on him to keep his word."

Obama has said he'll work in the Senate to strip that provision from the House bill, but stopped short of promising to filibuster the bill.

2. When is the vote supposed to take place. I hope it is soon. I'm
so tired of seeing people complain about it.

3. It will be interesting to see what MoveOn does when Obama
doesn't filibuster it.

5. Well, I demand he kick Ralph Reed in the junk, too, but I don't think
that's going to happen either.
