Senator Lieberman has betrayed President-Elect Obama, his constituents, and all Democrats. We owe him, big-time! We can fulfill our debt by taking less than 5-minutes to communicate to the Dem power brokers. Please do it NOW. Thanks!
OK, we've read all the blogs, watched all the videos, and we understand completely why Lieberman should be relieved of his Homeland Security Chairmanship (thank you very much Rachael for reminding us of his power to subpoena). Most of us could care less whether Old Joe caucuses with Dems or Repubs, but get him out of Homeland Security.
Let's throw Joe an anchor. It will cost $zero and less than 5-minutes:
1) Go to http://www.senate.gov and send short to-the-point messages to your Democratic senators. Very short -- they just tally pro/con anyhow. Here is what I told my two: "While I can forgive JL from supporting McCain, I cannot support a Senator who outrageously questioned our candidate's patriotism, as Lieberman did repeatedly. Please remove him from his chair on Homeland Security. Allow him to caucus wherever he desires. Thank you."
2) Go to http://www.democrats.org/... and ask the DNC to communicate your sentiments to all Dem Senators. I copied my comments above and added: "Failure of our Democratic Senators to remove Lieberman from his chairmanship will considerably lesson my willingness to contribute to the DNC for awhile. No threat, just communicating my state of mind."
We owe it to Joe to do the right thing for him.
