I wonder if this puts me on any "watch lists"?
Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL):
I am very disappointed in you and those other Senate Democrats who capitulated to Bush's demand for enhanced FISA powers. Apparently you have not yet realized that the number one issue of our times is to reign in an unchecked executive branch, and Bush/Cheney in particular. I am so sad for America.
Living in Jacksonville I have little choices when it comes to whom to support in elections. It is bad enough that I live in a permanent-Republican House district in which the Democratic Party doesn't even dare run anyone against Ander. (He's a friend of my family, but no friend to me and the issues I care about.) It is also a shame that our state's other Senator, Mel Martinez, is a man whom I find to be repugnant. But now for you to disappoint me so.
Your voting for this, combined with your vote last year for the Military Commissions Act, tells me all that I need to know about you. In my opinion, you are an enemy to the Constitution, to Freedom, and to me. If ever a more reliable Democrat runs against you, that is who I will support. I will never give you any money for campaigns (and I do give to others). If the choice comes down to you and a Republican, I will likely vote for you. But I will hold my nose.
A Disgusted Democratic Constituent
I signed it with my full name, but in keeping with my new policy to keep my life more private, I'm not putting my full name online anymore!
I tell you, every day I'm one step closer to expatriating...
