i'm not suggesting we drop Obama completely, but the sort of call numbers we can generate DO sway members of the legislative side.

Getting FISA itself fixed is good, we ccan also be looking at the places gthe surveillance laws needed new privacy protections. I have location tracking in particular in mind. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

We might try to find a few key people in both executive and legislative branches to work with: Russ Feingold comes to mind, as do Dennis Kucinich, Macon _____, the whitehouse.gov blogger mentioned on another thread. John Conyers, as head of the House Judiciary Committee, my be another. Do you find this valuable?

Sorry for the double post: I went off to do something else while the first was posting, and didn't see the reply when I got back, just a message to respond—so I did again.
S. Do you find this valuable?
