I know that this may not be good form, but I am going to do it anyway.

Instead of cut and pasting whole diaries and cross posting diaries from blog friends at EENR, I will just give you a little taste. These are all well written, good diaries that need to be read.

First off, I cross posted a diary here for poligirl last night. If you missed it, check it out now.

Memo to The Senators: Ways YOU Can Stop the FISA Bill (aka We're Sick of Excuses)

Today poligirl has a new edition of Critter Watch

Critter Watch: FISA, Iran, and War Funding, Oh My!

Hey there all you folks out there on the EENR this Monday! This is the Critter Watch, and we do it because, of course, we all know that we have to keep a close eye on those Congress Critters of ours; you never know what they'll  vote for  sell  auction off  give away  next...

...

This week the focus will be three pieces of legislation: the War Funding bill, the FISA bill, and the "Sense of the Congress" Iran resolution.

Follow me below and bring tissues...

I am cross posting the following diary for a blogger friend at EENR.

Well, by now we all know that the House passed the shameful (and inherently unconstitutional by just about any study of the Constitution) disgrace that is the current FISA bill with a whopping 105 Democrats supporting its passage. This is the bill that makes the warrantless wiretapping legal as well as provides immunity for the telecom companies who knowingly provided the Bush Administration with our conversations illegally.

Many of us know that a filibuster is the surest way to kill a bill in the Senate and that there are 49 Democratic Senators, nine more than are needed to sustain a filibuster. By now, many of us also know that Obama intends to vote for the bill, as of course does head capitulator Harry Reid and other assorted Senators including some Democrats. And we are starting to hear the gurgling forth of excuses from a few of them, much of it akin to what we heard in the House last Friday.

Seeing that there may, in fact, not be enough Constitution-loving Democrats to filibuster this stain of a bill, and given that "not enough votes to filibuster" should never be an excuse for something this odious to pass in the Senate, I offer (or rather educate and/or remind) the Senators of not only the meaning of the FISA bill but also ways to block a bill that exist in the Senate in addition to a filibuster.

Senators, please follow me below the fold...

Well that was quite the statement in Iowa!

Thanks to record turn out to the Iowa, the "Candidates of Change" got over two-thirds of the Votes!

According to the New York Times, nearly twice the Dems turned out this time:

Iowa's caucus also saw a record number of Democrats turn out -- more than 239,000, compared with fewer than 125,0000 in 2004 -- in a strong indication that opposition to President Bush has energized Democrats more than previously estimated.

If this is any indication of how ALL of America feels, maybe a Progressive Candidate, DOES have a Chance to Win the White House, maybe even with a Progressive Agenda?

We shall see ... by all accounts, this Fight is JUST getting started ...
