Just thought I'd pass this along . . . .
Dear Senator Obama:
You could win a lot of points with Democrats, moderates and independents, as well as voters in your own home state and home city, if you would take the lead on OPPOSING TELECOM AMNESTY as proffered by the "deal" that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has cut with the Republicans and their Big Telecom backers.
You've won the nomination for President. IT'S TIME TO LEAD on this issue, which is so important to Democrats, moderates and independents. A single, strongly worded, press conference could totally change the dynamic on this issue and galvanize Democrats behind you.
Beyond the simple politics, it's simply the right thing to do. Both the Bush Administration, and the telecom companies who agreed to spy on American citizens without a warrant, WHICH IS ILLEGAL. It shouldn't even be controversial that breaking the law needs to be met with consequences. If I break the law, then I have to face the consequences. Why should the Bush Administration and their friends, the enormous Telecom companies be any different?
Please do the right thing. You want to lead the Democratic Party? THEN LEAD!!!!
Sincerely,
Dave Hossler
