I came across an interesting story tonight in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/…2fisa.html ). Obama supporters are protesting Barack Obama's expected flip flop on telecom immunity deals against the 3 of the 4 major telecom companies that gave up personal telephone and email information on their customers illegally to the NSA.
Obama was formerly against this Bush Administration act against the citizens of the United States, but now the Democratic Party has negotiated a compromise and wants to give in to the Telecom industry as well as open up FISA so that more illegal (today but not necessarily tomorrow) wire tapping can proceed.
The interesting thing is that Obama's own website is being used as a staging ground to gather support among supporters to call on Senator Obama to hold firm on his original position and not continue with his expected flip flop during a vote next week on Tuesday.
You can check out or sign up for the group with the information below (last count, over 8,000 people had already joined)
