This is a Tuesday
open thread for discussion of calls to Senators on censure. It's only been 18 hours since Senator Feingold stood on the Senate floor and called for the censure of the President. And now, with the exception of yesterday morning's diary by Russ himself, which is gallantly hanging on on the Recommended list, the issue has already virtually disappeared from DailyKos.
Contact info for your Senator is here: CONTACT YOUR SENATOR. Call, fax, email, call, fax, email -- every day until they understand that the consequences of standing down are worse than the consequences of standing up. Tell the Dems that their cowardice will cost them something; tell the Repubs that not everyone in their red states is OK with their abandonment of the Constitution.
In the face of the Bush Administration's admittedly illegal, and undeniably unconstitutional, domestic spying program,
only one Senator (thank you, John Kerry) has had the political courage (or the political good sense) to support Senator Feingold in calling Bush out. All of "our" other Democratic Senators are, at best, hiding under their desks (where are you, Senator Reid?) or, at worst, running into the arms of the Republicans (no need to name names, but Lieberman Lieberman Lieberman).
