Like many of you, I only have so much disposable income that I can donate towards political causes. Up until now, much of this has gone to electing Barak Obama president. However, I am deeply disappointed by his failure to stand by his original statements against warrentless wiretapping and his failure to take a leadership role in the fight against this unconstitutional travesty.

While I will continue to support Obama, lately my money has been going toward Blue America PAC vs Retroactive Immunity. In my case, this is money that otherwise would have gone to the Obama campaign. He is the defacto leader of the Democratic party now. If he took a strong position in opposition to the FISA bill, the work of the Blue America PAC might not even be necessary.

I think that it is important that Obama's campaign understands this dynamic. To this end, I used the "contact us" section of their website to send them the following message:

I agree with the multiple diarists who have discussed this topic already that a boycott of Disney/ABC is the only way to make these corporations understand that the progressive community has teeth(economic clout) and that sycophancy towards the right wing is a poor business decision.

In order for this to work, it will take concerted effort as a community to identify the many tendrils of Disney/ABC and also to target their most vulnerable ventures. Even if PT911 runs, we should plan to boycott for two to three months to make a point and prevent events such as PT911 from happening again.

I would call on those with experience in organizing boycotts such as this to step forward and guide those of us who want to make a difference but do not have the wherewithal to lead such an effort. Read More

I am sad to report that, in his analysis piece on page A1 of the WaPo, Dan Balz was forced to name three of his sources. A sad, sad day for Pravda on the Potomac. A real stenographer could have written this article without naming a single source.
