Regrets
My only regret is that I have to wait until 2010 to work for Barbara Mikulski's defeat. She has always been a hero of mine, but her FISA vote was corrupt and unforgiveable. Now that she has betrayed her oath to protect and defend the Constitution, she needs to go.
Congratulations to Sen. Cardin for taking a principled stand on this issue.
Mikulski needs to go!
Well said!
One thing people could do and I plan to do is send their congressmen/ congresswomen (in this case Senator Mikulski) that voted for the FISA 2008 bill old cellphones, modems, portable phones that don't work, and wall mount phones to their office's every month as a thank you for supporting them (the telecoms.) and the Bush Administration – I might even deliver mine in person.
OBAMA & Mikulski vor FOR Bush's Orwellian surveillance bill
Sen. Barbara Mikulski has a very long record of claiming to be for civil liberties while repretedly voting for "compromise" legislation that takes away our Constitutional, liberties in order to accomplish some other objective, so her vote for Bush's FISA bill is not surprising. Her promises and explanations are just like Orwellian Newspeak--where most everything the government said was the opposite of the turth.
I expected better from Sen. Barack Obama, at least on civil liberties issues. Apparently, I was wrong. He seems just as willing to legislate away our rights as Bush and Mikulski.
