     I can see it if I go to Cliff’s site, but not here so the corp firewall can’t keep the good out entirely.  🙂

     Anyhoo….YES!!!  Kitty will finally provide the GrOPers with a little bit of the true spark of the party – the crazy, if you will.

     Oh, and Michelle Bachman for VP.

   Chris Dodd says if his hold is disregarded, he will filibuster.

   He’s asking for donations and I think it would also be prudent to call your Senators and implore them to support Dodd’s efforts.

   Dear ejmw,

   Are you willing to go to the mat to restore the Constitution?

   Just last night, we heard there are plans to disregard Senator Dodd’s intention to place a hold on a FISA bill that includes amnesty for telecommunications companies.

   That would be a pretty extraordinary move, but Chris Dodd has pledged to stop this horrible bill any way he can.

   So if the hold is not honored, he is prepared to go to the Senate floor and filibuster.

   Rolling back the Bush Administration assault on the rule of law has been a major focus of Chris Dodd’s work in the Senate — and it’s also a centerpiece in his campaign for President.

   Your contribution will help us take our message of restoring the Constitution through the cornfields of Iowa, the streets of New Hampshire, and into the White House.

   Democrats were elected to change the course of this country – to restore our security and our values – and for too long Congress has not.  

   It’s time to take a stand.

   Your support over the past twenty-four hours has been inspiring — but with both Republicans AND even a few Democrats pushing back — Senator Dodd needs it now more than ever.

   There is a direct relationship between our diminished standing in the world and the current Administration’s assault on the Constitution.

   Standing up for the values enshrined in that document doesn’t make us more vulnerable … they make us more secure.

   The Senator likes to say that if he is sworn in at noon on January 20, 2009, he’ll begin restoring the Constitution by 1 P.M.

   You can help get him there right now.

   This fight has just begun.  We’ll be in touch in the coming days with meaningful avenues for participation to make sure we stop this bill.

   Chris Dodd for President

   Well, from all appearances, it like he is taking it to the wall on the FISA bill.

   Does anyone else scratch their head and furrow their brow over the fact that at one Middle School they are handing  out birth control pills to students while at another Middle School they are suspending a student and forcing her into drug counseling for taking a Tylenol while at school?

   Strange days indeed.

   For all those who share the Republican views of environmental regulation, here you go.  Welcome to the future.
