Please Email MN Senator Klobuchar

For giving in to Commander Codpiece in support of wiretapping:

The Senate has surrendered to Mister Bush on domestic spying, yielding ignominiously to the White House’s demands that the unitary executive be given more authority when it seeks to wiretap suspected terrorists without warrants. The vote was 60-28. If passed by the House, the bill would be law for six months. Meanwhile, Congress would use that time to put together a permanent one:

The following Democrats voted for it: Evan Bayh (Indiana); Tom Carper (Delaware); Bob Casey (Pennsylvania); Kent Conrad (North Dakota); Dianne Feinstein (California); Daniel Inouye (Hawai‘i); Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota); Nancy Mary Landrieu (Louisiana); Blanche Lincoln (Arkansas); Claire McCaskill (Missouri); Barbara Mikulski (Maryland); Bill Nelson (Florida); Ben Nelson (Nebraska); Mark Pryor (Arkansas); Ken Salazar (Colorado); Jim Webb (Virginia).

Done. I am very, very disappointed.

I expressed my disappointment and my expectation she reverse her vote when this expires in six months in my mail to her.

You were probably way more polite than I was. I told I hoped she had a primary challenge.

A wee bit wary of her for various reasons. Looks like wary wuz wise.

I was respectful, but very forceful, with the disaster known as McCaskill -- that she has just about destroyed any hope of reelection, that this is a state that has a record of one term Senators, which she is going to join, and if we'd wanted Jim Talent, we would have voted for him.

The caliber of people...

Thanks. I wrote to her, too.
