Reid caves


Dear c,

You did it! Minutes ago, Senator Reid pulled the FISA bill from the Senate floor.

Since Friday at noon, you made 2,443 reported calls to Senator Reid demanding he stop this bill. All weekend internet blogs, like Firedoglake and DailyKos, kept it in the news cycle. From the ACLU to the Courage Campaign, progressives took action. And today, Senator Dodd threatened to filibuster. Together, we won.

When Progressives stand up, Beltway Democrats back down.

Today is a victory. But the battle for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party continues. Contribute $15 right now to keep up the fight.

1. It was a good thing he caved today.
I don't care for him, but this was the right thing to do.

4. Nice. Let's keep the pressure on him. I don't blame Reid for good legislation failing, but
there is no excuse for bad legislation passing.

5. This proves progressives and the blogs have real power
And since it appears that Reid's mind is changeable, lets get him to change his mind about Iraq next.
