Sorry for the short notice - Senator Kennedy is heading to the floor to speak out agains the anonymous GOP Senator who is blocking his amendment to force the White House to hand over the Presidential Daily Briefs relevant to the Iraq over to the Senate Intelligence Committee. You can get the live feed of the Senate floor here.
This amendment to the Intelligence Authorization bill would give President Bush the opportunity to prove to Congress that they really did see all of the same intelligence that the White House had.
Here's how you can help out:
An anonymous Republican Senator has put a hold on the bill because of Senator Kennedy's amendment -- despite the fact that Chairman Roberts has agreed to support it.
It's time for the truth to come out. The President should hand over the information to Congress, and the Republican who is trying to cover for him should come forward.
If he or she won't, find out yourselves: Call the Republican Senators -- especially if you are a constituent -- and ask where they stand on the intelligence bill.
Then ask if they have put a hold on Senator Kennedy's amendment.
If there is a good reason why these amendments shouldn't given an up or down vote by the Senate, the unknown Republican Senator should have the courage and honesty to tell the American people why.
This is an open-source action. Call and then let us know what you find in the comments below. I'll update the list in real-time with results.
