Barack Obama promised during the Democratic primaries that he would filibuster any legislation that tried to give retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped Bush spy on Americans. Yet, the FISA Amendments Act does exactly that - it gives retroactive immunity to those telecommunications companies.
Barack Obama not only voted for the FISA Amendments Act - he voted against the attempt to filibuster the law! Barack Obama broke his promise, and so now it's too late for the Senate to filibuster.
It's our turn now to filibuster. Progressive Americans are beginning an online filibuster of the Barack Obama for President campaign - writing about his betrayal on FISA until Obama admits his mistake and introduces a bill into the Senate to repeal the FISA Amendments Act.
Join the citizens' filibuster today!
