Support Dodd

Posted in Congress, Democrats tagged at 8:40 pm by LeisureGuy

The importance of the support is not only to help and reward Senator Dodd, it’s to draw the attention of other Democratic Senators and Representatives that we Democrats crave action and not spineless caving in. Perhaps seeing courage rewarded will produce more courage. So far:

Senator Dodd’s campaign communications director Hari Sevugan tells me that $150,000 in small contributions have poured into Dodd’s campaign in the past 24 hours, since his announcement that he will put a hold on–and may even filibuster–a foreign intelligence surveillance bill approved yesterday by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Dodd objects to a provision that would grant immunity to the telecommunications companies that turned over their customers’ phone and e-mail records to the government’s warrantless surveillance program. The companies have been hit with 40 pending lawsuits charging them with privacy violation.

Dodd has raised more small-dollar contributions in the last 24 hours than he did in the previous month. Sevugan also says the number of visits to his website is up tenfold, as is the number of people registering their e-mail addresses there.

Thank Senator Dodd and thereby send a message to the other Democrats in Congress.

    MH, my Shaving<<Later On Link just goes to the Treet Day 6 entry.
    It used to go to all the Shaving posts. Now, I have to clik on the general
    Later On link and scroll endlessly to scan for Shaving posts.

    Quite frankly, almost all (food & cats excepted) your non-Shaving stuff, affects me like a cross affects a Vampire. Don’t even wanna see. Risk infection. Tragic.Anathema. Horror. Too Kalifornia. Too turn of the twentieth century, post-WW1.

    Is there a link that can get me to the Shave Posts only?

    Thanks !!!
