Hopefully, when you get up on Saturday morning, you won't hear that a deal has been made and that you've been sold out.  The leadership stayed in town, but they might want to go home.  It seems to me that time is running short.  This may be your last opportunity to say that enough is enough; not just to yourself or in a blog that you hope someone will read. 

Your indignation and bitching won't help the really talented bloggers who are quoted occasionally on the floor of the house or senate or in the media.  Your legislators need to hear from you directly.  Anecdotal evidence about the anger of the masses just won't cut it.  Hello.

A post on Friday pointed you to Glenn Greenwald.  Thank you Carol. (salon.com/opinion/greenwald).  Greenwald has explained FISA, "amnesty", the recent fisa votes--names included, and he's provided a link to a firedoglake petition.  Read Greenwald's synopsis of the last few days if you're still confused about the urgency of the issue or if you want to sign the petition.  Email the synopsis to friends and family and ask them to sign the petition too.

I read a blog today that said something like "we need to develop a website where we can go to complain to congress."  What?!  I can't even imagine what it costs us to run the house and senate sites.  Use them.  They do everything but fill out the form for you.  How's this for the comment:  "I will not support you again if you accept telecom immunity.  Support the Restore Act."

With all of the bitching out there, you'd think that the mainstream media would be reporting that congress is having difficulty keeping up with the calls and emails.  Call, write; tell your friends and family to do the same.

I know, I'm naive.  If I'm wrong about this, may a satellite fall out of the sky into my backyard.

Oh, crap.
