Chris Dodd For Majority Leader....NOW!!!!
Dodd will filibuster

Tim Tagaris has Senator Dodd's statement on continuing his FISA filibuster:

"Few things are more detrimental to this country than the erosion of and attack on the civil liberties we enjoy. This isn't a Democratic issue or a Republican issue; this is an American issue. If after debate, the Senate appears ready to pass legislation granting telecom providers retroactive immunity I will use any and all legislative tools at my disposal, including a filibuster, to prevent this deeply flawed bill from becoming law. More and more, Americans are rejecting the false choice that has come to define this administration: security or liberty, but never, ever both. For all those who have stood with me throughout this fight, I pledge, once more, to stand up for you."

10. good idea - we should suggest that to each of senators we call - get rid
of Pelosi, we want Senator Dodd majority Leader



I think these are the toll free numbers to Congress -

1 800 862 5530
828-0498
614-2803
340-9281
338-1015
220-0044

ask for the Senator Congressman you want to speak to


1) demanding impeachment,especially Jerry Nadler, Pelosi, Conyers, anyone on
Judiciary Committee.

2) demanding no immunity for telcoms that violated the law which protects
Americans right to privacy . we demand ceasing of illegal wiretapping of
AMericans

14. Nancy Pelosi
is the leader of congress not the senate kelligesq-but I agree she ALSO needs to go. Murtha or my rep. Robert Wexler never disappoints

13. He was Daschle's
right hand man and I guess the next in line. Reid has been a major disappointment to me. I even signed up for his Give 'Em Hell Harry updates which I now immediately send to my e-mail garbage dump-Pelosi's too

2. That man is amazing.
He will be vilified by the corporate media, the Rs and even his majority leader but he will take the high road anyway. There is a man who understands liberty and what is right and wrong.

26. Is it typical for the Dems to elect new leaders for each new
Congress, or do they usually keep the ones from the last time? I REALLY want new ones in January! I think we all do. What do we have to do to make a change happen?
