Hold Sell Out Democrats(And Others) Accountable

There's a major new campaign aimed at holding Steny Hoyer, Jay Rockefeller and other Congressional sellouts to Bushco on telecom immunity and warrantless eavesdropping accountable. Here's DWT:

"Today we (our 1,850 donors) flew past the $100,000 mark and I suspect that by the time this is posted, we'll be closing in on $110,000. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican or an independent. This is about the Constitution and the rule of law and it goes beyond party-- way beyond. Please help us hold congressional leaders who sell us out and do violence to the Constitution accountable."

Help them out at ActBlue.

Senator Jay Rockefeller Betrays America's Citizens

Republican Democratic Senator Rockefeller does the bidding of Bush, Cheney and his AT&T(etal.) benefactors on that new horrendous FISA bill. Here's Glenn Greenwald:

---

"..Democrats have failed repeatedly to end or even limit one of the most unpopular wars in American history. They have failed to restore habeas corpus. They have failed to fulfill their promise of "fixing" the hastily-passed Protect America Act. They even failed to provide children's health insurance even though their entire party and much of the GOP favored it. They don't feel the slightest bit ashamed or remorseful about any of that.

Yet here is Jay Rockefeller, feeling proud and cocky and triumphant, because he is about to vanquish members of his own party and civil liberties groups on behalf of a radical agenda of amnesty for lawbreaking corporations and warrantless eavesdropping powers demanded by Dick Cheney, AT&T and Mitch McConnell. I suppose he needs to find his self-esteem somewhere. But there shouldn't be any doubts regarding on whose behalf Senate Democratic leaders are working. When Rockefeller says "we will prevail," he's telling you as clearly as he can whom they represent.."
