I suspect that this has been discussed earlier in the week, but today I had time to write to all the current Democratic Senators, encouraging them to strip Joe Lieberman of his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee.
It was easily done using the U.S. Senate website link.
Here is the basic message I sent, with personalization for specific Senators:
Honorable Senator:
I am writing to encourage you to vote against rewarding Joe Lieberman with the continued chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. Mr. Lieberman not only supported John McCain for President. He actively campaigned AGAINST Barack Obama.
Mr. Lieberman is NOT the change America voted for in record numbers last week. President Obama will need the active support of the Senate to enact the historic legislative agenda the American people expect from the Obama/Biden adminstration. We cannot afford to have someone like Joe Lieberman covertly blocking progressive legislation.
By all means, keep Mr. Lieberman in the caucus, but strip him of his chairmanships. Show the Senator from Connecticut that elections have consequences, and judgement matters.
With thanks for all you are doing for the United States of America,
The more I hear about this issue, the more I review what Joe Lieberman said about President-Elect Obama during the election, the more I am certain that Lieberman must not continue as committee chair of anything. Have at it, Kossacks.
