“When you give up basic Constitutional rights, you give terrorists a far greater victory in ways.”
Senator Dodd
“The Constitution is not a partisan document.”
Senator Dodd
For anyone who doesn’t know, Chris Dodd is getting set to filibuster the Bill that gives immunity to Telcoms for assisting George Bush to spy on American citizens. I urge you to click the link above and send him some love.
The man is a hero, in a time when we desperately need heroes.
I’m not having a great day, so I will just repeat what I wrote a little while ago about Senator Dodd and what he is doing for our nation
Until one person says no, evil cannot be stopped. Until one respected figure, one LEADER, finds the courage to step forward and OPPOSE, weaker people, not finding the courage within themselves, have nowhere to turn and no one to follow.
This is not politics as usual….because people are DYING because of Bush, this is not ‘an issue,’ It is literally a life and death struggle. Whoever says no to George Bush is an instant hero to the 75% of the country who disapprove of The Worst President ever. It seems like a no-brainer, but it took one man to do it, to stop the pathetic, pervasive capitulation that has swept the Democrats like a virus.
Let’s hope it is contagious.
Let’s hope it is a trend.
Let’s hope that it leads to a rash of saying no.
Because once the first no appears and is successful, who knows where no can lead.
Chris Dodd is the first to point out that the Emperor has no clothes. Learn his lesson Democrats….if you want to be elected….Just say no.
But more importantly, if you want to take America back and restore Justice and the Rule of Law, the whole process starts with just one tiny word….
no
I would like to add that this is a golden opportunity for the leading candidates….Clinton and Obama….to show some leadership by supporting Chris Dodd on the floor of the Senate. All of them, including Edwards has said they support him….it would be nice to see something besides talk, from the two candidates who can make a difference here.
Whoever does will gain a lot of support on the Left (and me!)…but risks being attacked as ….you guessed it…Soft on Terror from the Right.
Will either of them have the courage to show up?
In any case, please contact your Senators and ask them to support Chris Dodd’ fight for the Constitution and let Senator Dodd know you support him.

does not get this. The Constitution goes, we as a society and a free people go.
Ignorance and greed have driven us to this point. What will hold us back?
at the amount of people who know nothing about this constitutional crisis. Smart people. In their own little cocoons.
a Democratic capitulation.
Now Nancy has another leadership lesson to ignore… sigh.
I have made my calls. Both Sens. Durbin and Obama are AGAINST immunity.
I have also e-mailed a thank you to Sen. Dodd.
I sure hope this fight, just one in a thousand, will be successful.
That’s America’s best hope–the Dems are deadlocked and have to “resort” to Gore, Clark, or Dodd. If Gore won’t, Dodd/Clark is a dynamite ticket–could win 49 states–not Utah.
