Democrats.com Joins TheStrangeBedfellows To Stop Wiretap Immunity
Over at Salon.com, Glenn Greenwald is mobilizing blogs to block House "Democratic" leader Steny Hoyer's corrupt deal with George Bush and the Telecoms for warrantless wiretapping immunity. Democrats.com is proud to join the effort, which is called TheStrangeBedfellows because it includes progressive blogs like ours and Ron Paul-supporting libertarian blogs. The money raised will be used for hard-hitting ads against Hoyer and two key Bush Democrats, Chris Carney (PA-10) and John Barrow (GA-12). What makes the anti-Barrow campaign especially potent is that he faces a strong primary challenge from progressive State Sen. Regina Thomas, who also happens to be black - in a district where 70% of primary voters are black.
Phase I, to begin immediately, will focus on ad campaigns against two Democratic pro-amnesty incumbents with no primary challenger (Hoyer and Carney), and one pro-amnesty Democratic incumbent with a credible primary challenge very shortly. Phase II will involve a massive money bomb, to be planned by the same people who were behind the money bombs that raised millions and millions of dollars for the Ron Paul presidential campaign. The dates and other details for that will be announced shortly.

I am glad to read this.
I am glad to read this. This is where we have to go from here. We've just been sold out by some members of our own party, in the worst way. Now they'll try to spin it to make it palatable. Don't swallow.
George Bush is celebrating today and making thank-you calls. He got what he wanted -more unlimited powers, plus immunity- thanks to some Democrats.
Congressional Responses
I called these Elected officials today regarding telecom immunity.
I called my Rep. DeFazio, whom I adore and am so happy to have as a representative. That said, every time I call his office, whether to compliment or complain, the response is the same... total rudeness.
I also called Sen. Wyden. The person I talked to was very nice even tho I was calling to have him oppose telecom immunity.
Sen. G. Smith is also my senator. When calling to voice the same opinion as above to his office, the staff there was also most kind.
I called Hoyer's office and the person who answered listened to me and said they would pass it along.
I called Reid's office and it goes straight to voice mail.
Finally, this is the second time I have called Pelosi's office. Today was the same as before, when they know that you are offering an opposing opinion, they shove you straight into voice mail without even telling you that they won't be talking to you.
