Thank you for putting the onus on other Senators, not just Obama (until the end, at least, where you put extra contact info for Obama, and thereby suggest that he has some higher duty than his congressional colleagues to stop this, which he doesn't.)

Otherwise, thanks.

Very nice job. Thanks. Although I think Obama should find a creative way to use his position to influence the outcome of FISA, I do sometimes wonder if many people have forgotten that Congress makes the laws and controls the money, so no President is able to save us if we do not hold each representative accountable for their votes.

When people only look to Obama to save us, that fantasy just gives Congress a free pass to continue its negligence as representatives of the people. If ALL our representatives are not held accountable, Obama will be unable to change much. Due to his position, Obama should be held supremely accountable, too.

Let's not forget that the Democratic leadership is accountable for the negligence of the rest of the Democrats in Congress. They are not qualified for leadership positions if they are unable to ensure their members do their jobs as representatives of the people, protect our basic rights and uphold the Constitution they each swore to protect. No business would keep a management team in power that could not deliver results and had no influence over the employees they were responsible for managing.

Sorry for the government 101 lecture, but it really seems to be called for these days. And we absolutely need to demand that Congress not try to slide things through without notice since that prevents the public from having the time to mount a campaign to ensure Congress does its job.
