Heart Crushing Reality: Obama’s FISA Betrayal
Time to ask for a refund?
Obama abstained from voting against cloture, not supporting a filibuster to strip telecom immunity from the FISA bill. Our last and best chance to stop infringement of our civil rights. The Politico gives a good account of how people like me are more than just disappointed. The feeling is best described as betrayal. I’m thinking of sending an email asking for a refund for the money I donated. No I am not wishing Clinton had won, she also abstained and I am thinking Obama and her are basically the same thing. Two people without the moral courage to do the right thing.
Update:
I sent this message using the Obama website’s contact form:
I have been a steadfast supporter of Barack Obama throughout the primary. I had a bumper sticker on my car with Obama’s name on it since the spring of 2007. I have donated hundreds of dollars and just recently I bought a couple of big signs to hang up. However, given the senators betrayal of our civil rights by not supporting the filibuster against telecom immunity I would like a refund of my donations. Is this possible?
I doubt I’ll get an answer. Given that Barack Obama is forgoing public financing, maybe if his base of small donors starts cutting off the purse strings, he’ll realize what’s really important.
Why don’t you ask for your money back too.
Update #2:
A commentator was helpful enough to provide the following email address to send this request to: ddozier@barackobama.com. Thank you Katherine! I am sending my email right now.
