Progress Now Action

Glenn Greenwald writes on the FISA filibuster by Dodd and Reid's view:

It's one thing to watch Congressional Democrats fail to stand up to any of the Bush abuses. It's another thing entirely to watch as they actively enable them. But they've now moved beyond even that to actually perceiving as their Enemy anyone -- such as "Dodd and his allies" -- who seeks to disrupt their Bush-enabling efforts and, worst of all, who infects their rituals with any dirty, outside riff-raff, such as actual citizens.

But wait it goes to the attitude that the first woman Speaker of the House Nancy Pelos.  This was written by Digby:

Though crediting activists for their "passion," Pelosi called it "a waste of time" for them to target Democrats. "They are advocates," she said. "We are leaders."

Uhm, not exactly, Nance. They're citizens. And you work for them. That inconvenient first amendment was put in the constitution so you wouldn't forget that.

We are to vote for Democratic party candidates, get them elected, have majorities in Congress then what?  For the Democratic leadership to crap on the voters?

This is what they are saying...Elect us then we will crap all you, the voter, and enable Mr. Bush to destroy the Constitution?

If somebody wants to run in the Democratic Party primary against DeGette I will be the first to contribute and volunteer.

Who will step up?
