Fundraising a "bit slow?"

Wonder why? Think about flip-flop on FISA. Maybe that explains it. Read some of the thoughtful posts on the anti-FISA group here at your own website, Senator Obama. Figure out a way to flop that flip and maybe your fundraising will pick up.

I'm ashamed that I taught my parrot to say "Obama Yes We Can!" I have a bumper sticker on my car, a yard sign on the road, and a button on my hat. I'm mortified. Compromising I could live with, but a complete reversal from "I will support a fillibuster" to "Yes" on cloture??? Sorry, that's not compromise. THAT is a flip-flop, exactly what the Republicans pinned on Kerry.

You're not against wars, just dumb wars? I'm not against compromise, just dumb compromise. You didn't win any votes with this, it won't stop the Republicans from saying you're soft on terror. They will do that anyway! But you lost your most ardent supporters, your workers, your donors.

DUMB DUMB DUMB.

Make a passionate speech, please, telling us how you are going to make amends and protect our Constitution. We are waiting with abated breath.

Dear Senator Obama:

Stand up to the the Republicans and come out swinging against the FISA amendment - and telecom immunity - or LOSE the general election.

Americans HATE wimps. They would rather disagree with you on policy than think you are a wishy-washy flip-flopper.

It's not too late to flop that flip. You had all kinds of compelling reasons to be against the FISA bill - go back to the original you and regain the respect - and the supporters - that won you the primary, so we can start concentrating on electing a progressive Democratic majority in Congress as well.

Yes you can!
