Obama: Hold Telecoms Accountable as President
Target: Senator Obama
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
On July 9th, the Senate approved the FISA Amendments Act, expanding the powers of the National Security Administration (NSA) to spy on Americans and granting immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in the Bush administration's program of warrantless surveillance of American citizens.
Senator Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, voted for this bill, along with the majority of his Senate colleagues.
We, the people, demand that our leaders - and future leaders - stand up for our Constitutional rights. We call on Senator Obama to promise us that in his first 100 days as President, he will stand up for the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution by launching a full, transparent investigation into Bush's illegal warrantless surveillance program and pursue criminal charges against any government officials and telecommunications companies that broke the law by participating in this program.

I wish, I wish. President Obama should not be above criticism by those who elected him. I realize he has a lot on his plate, and is doing a difficult balancing act with entrenched power that doesn't like to respond to the "new kid in town". {To mix a lot of metaphors!} Nevertheless, we need to keep REMINDING President Obama, of the desires and needs of those he represents. As a person trained in the Law, he should be knowledgeable of where Justice lies. We will keep reminding him, as often as is required.
