Unsatisfied FISA Group Delivers Protest Letter to Obama HQ
huffingtonpost.com — Will Mitchell, a representative of the FISA activist group, today hand delivered a formal letter to Obama campaign headquarters. The group also published their statement on a handful of blogs Monday and Tuesday. The response asked Obama both to reconsider his decision to vote for the FISA bill and to ask him to speak on the floor of Congress.

Activists who really care about FISA would write to their own Senators to impact their vote. They used the situation to intimidate Obama supporters on the site and to attach negative labels to him. They created many short uninteresting posts which offered no insight into the issue.
There are exceptions to this rule, but you can easily check it for yourselves. Obama did today what he promised to do and did not change his mind. I trust entirely his choices. You will see it all made sense.
Obama's vote counts as ONE. Have you pestered your own senators to vote as you believe they should? Did you do you job?! Or you were wasting time to shame Obama on his site! So perhaps YOU are responsible for the outcome! Perhaps you yourself dumped your Constitution for the pleasure of insulting the Democratic candidate on his own site.

HOW SEN. OBAMA DID VOTE IN THE SENATE TODAY ON FISA (5 VOTES) AND HOW MCCAIN DID NOT (SINCE HE WAS THE ONLY SENATOR ABSENT)

The FISA thing consists of several parts. Each required a separate vote. Obama did what he promised to do. He cast three votes against the immunity! McCain caved in BY ABSENTIA! Get your facts straight before you further attack Senator Obama.- brjohnson789, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1This is a pathetic defense of Obama. Obama still voted to allow the government to spy on any American, with no checks or proof, killing the 4th amendment. Good luck in fascism land you brown shirt.

- brjohnson789, on 07/10/2008, -2/+1I love how Obama supporters fall into two categories on this: they either support how he voted (even though its un-Constitutional, and the opposite of how he indicated he would vote earlier), or they are sad he voted this way. But one thing both camps of kool-aid drinkers have in common, they'll still vote for the traitor.
