Victory is still possible in the fight against warrantless spying and immunity for the telecom companies that collaborated in previous illegal spying. Just this morning the Politico reports that . . .
Senate leaders may split the warrantless spying and immunity provisions into two separate bills, and hold two separate votes.
This is a sign of significant divisions in the Senate that we may yet be able to exploit to defeat the Senate version of HR 6304.
The divisions are deep enough that there still isn’t a Senate version of the House bill, or a bill number. And there are still multiple ways we could win this fight.
One strategy is to find a Senator willing to filibuster, and thereby block a vote.
MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann reported last night that there’s pressure on Presidential candidate and Senator Barak Obama to filibuster — to show he can lead his party and stand up to the Republicans. Senators Chris Dodd and Russ Feingold have stated strong opposition to this bill and are also strong potential candidates to filibuster.
Toward this end we’ve changed the message to the Senate on our old campaign against the “Protect America Act”, to read as follows . . .
“Please do everything you can to defeat the Senate version of HR 6304, the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. Please use your power to filibuster.”
Please send this message now, with your personalizing comments added.
You can use your personal comments to point out that HR 6304 violates the 4th Amendment, and that your Senators swore an oath to defend the Constitution.
Many Senators are opposed to this bill. If we can encourage just one to filibuster then we’ll only need 41 votes to defeat the bill. We believe the three Senators we’ve listed in this message are the best candidates to do so. But every Senator needs to be contacted.
The possibility of victory by filibuster, combined with the urgency of this situation, means that once again, we encourage you to call your Senators. Once you’re logged-in to send your message, you’ll see their office phone number. Please call today.
Remember, we were in a similar position with this issue back in Fall 2006, and again in February this year — defeat seemed certain — but we ended up pulling out a victory. Now, in the space of just 24 hours, we’ve gone from expecting an immediate vote to having the Senate leadership contemplate splitting the bill into two parts.
Victory is still possible, and the filibuster is a powerful weapon we could use to achieve that victory. Ask, and you may receive.
Tell your Senators to filibuster. Give the pro-Constitution forces courage, and make the anti-Constitution Senators nervous.
Send a message!
Then call.
Also, please also help us make budget this month. There are only 6 days left, and we need just $1,509 to earn a $3,600 matching pledge AND make budget. We have no one else to ask but you. You can contribute here.

So apparently Hillary Clinton is $20 Million in debt because of her campaign and wants your help to pay off her debts. Her PERSONAL debts. This lying conniving sack of dog turds is over $20 Million in debt, personally, and she wanted to be President of the United States.She can’t even manage her own debt successfully and and she wanted to run our country. What a crock of shit. Regardless of whether you are voting Democrat or Republican I would hope that you can see the irony in this and vote for someone that can at least follow a budget, although with the current drop of candidates that is not likely to happen at all.Just do as politicians have been doing for years and put it off on the next generation. The problem is that it’s going to catch up with us and bite us in the ass before too long.

So apparently Don Imus made an offhand remark about suspended Dallas Cowboys quarterback Adam Jones and the fact that since he’s black that explains why he’s been arrested six times since being drafted.
The poor dude just seems to keep sticking his foot in his mouth. The problem is that he’s right and most of his listeners know it but since he’s so visible to the American public it’s easy to offend someone. Here’s a clue for ya’. If you don’t like what he has to say, change the fucking station.

I am constantly amazed at how things on the Internet are so intertwined, and becoming more so each day. What can I say, I’m easily impressed. So many of the social networking services are becoming intertwined using OpenID and other APIs so now I can post from Facebook (as I am now) and have it update several sites at once, as well as Twitter.

FireEagle, Twitter, Facebook and boatloads of other stuff all just sort of comes together and although it may not actually be useful, it’s certainly entertaining.

Fire Eagle tells you where I am and in turn tells my blog, I can update Fire Eagle from several different sources. The one I seem to be using mostly is Twitter, which also posts updates to my blog as well as MySpace, Facebook and anyone else that strangely enough seems to be following me. There are some pretty cool GPS apps that also work with Fire Eagle but unfortunately they are crap on my Blackberry.

Even ICQ and AIM updates my blog. I have been using this pretty cool plugin for MT called Action Streams. It does a very good job at updating from my Digg, Twitter and Flickr accounts. The rest are sort of hit and miss but they seem to be improving.

I still haven’t decided if all of this really cool integration and ‘following’ is a good thing or not. Living in the public eye is a bit over rated. The good thing is that I can always turn the updates off. At least for now…

It’s time once again for the weekly offering from Blogs for Borders.
