Democratic Party Leader Obama: Lead

  Barack Obama can put a stop to the Republican " Protect ATT Act " right now if he wanted to. It is time for Obama to use his leadership muscle!

   From digbysblog dday says

I congratulate Barack Obama on his primary win and think he has the opportunity to bring forward meaningful change in America. In fact, he can start today. He can go to the well of the Senate and demand that the party he now leads not authorize new powers to spy on Americans and immunize corporations who broke the law with their illegal spying in the first place.

Barack Obama could put an end to this today if he wanted. He could tell his colleagues in the House and the Senate that they should not work so hard to codify into law what his opponent is calling for - the ability for an executive to secretly spy on Americans.

  The Democrats are close to making a deal with the GOP on the FISA/ATT Amnesty bill, which would be no good for you and I.

   Maybe we should let our next President know how we feel about the issue?
