Dear Senator Reid,
It is one thing to be personally against retroactive immunity for the telecom companies. Good for you. But so far, you and Senator Jay "Rich Man, Rollover Man" Rockefeller have been played like patsies by Mitch McConnell and the Bush Administration.
For God's sake and for the sake of the American people, please stand up to these civil liberties barbarians of the Right, who would gut the Constitution before breakfast, if they get their way.
If you are a true leader of the Democrats in Congress, you will get or force the recalcitrant, reactionary members of your caucus, like Bayh and Carper and Inouye and Johnson and McCaskill and Pryor and Salazar and both Nelsons to vote "NO" on cloture and "NO" to retroactive immunity for the telecoms. Otherwise, give up your leadership. Let someone like Senator Dodd, who has shown real courage, take over. If you're not going to lead, step aside for the sake of your Party, for the sake of our Country.
Please show us that you have some steel in your spine. Otherwise, you will be forever known as "Give 'em your cojones," Harry Reid. And surrendering to Miss McConnell? All the worse. Sad to be known as the Senator without balls or principles, isn't it, Harry?
Please prove me and the American people wrong.
Thank you.
David Wyles
P.S. I was Joe Lieberman's roommate at Yale, so I truly and personally know about betrayal of the real interests of the regular people of America. We the people never voted for a War that would drain more than 3 trillion dollars from our National Treasury, money that could have been used for education, universal health care, the infrastructure of our country.
Please don't "wuss out" on me and the rest of America. Please show some balls against the Liebermans and Bushes and Cheneys and McConnells of this world.
You claim to be a "fighter." Now's the time to prove it.
There is also a free fax, non-commercial email to fax service at http://www.tpc.int.
BTW, Radlib1, please share with us some of your Lieberman experiences.
