Am I missing something? Both Pelosi and Rockefeller (and presumably other high ranking dems) were briefed,although not given all of the facts, about the domestic spying program before the 2004 election. They learned that our President had personally, illegally authorized this program, yet they were told to keep it quiet because it is classified. And they obeyed and kept it quiet! WTF! The democratic leadership was notified that our President had committed a crime and they kept it to themselves. Why? I'm sorry but sending a classified letter in protest does not go far enough. The Congress is supposed to be a check on the power of the President. Letting the President violate the law, without notifying the public is disgraceful. If someone can explain why Pelosi and others felt obligated to not disclose this information, please do so. I'm at a loss.

Disturbed by Bush's address last night

I don't know about you, but I found it very odd and quite disturbing listening to President Bush last talking about hunting down our enemies and killing them all over the world. I know he is having a hard time getting support for the war, but this is Christmas, hardly a time to be discussing hunting down and killing our enemies, when Jesus advocated turning the cheek.

This is my first diary and it commemorates my first ever politcal rally that I attended last night. The rally was for Tony Trupiano who is running for U.S. congress in Michigan's 11th District. Mr. Trupiano is a very dynamic speaker (he is a former progressive talk radio host) and he said all of the right things for me. He supports a woman's right to privacy, he wants to give equal rights to same sex couples (just short of marriage though, he thinks that the country isn't ready for that), he wants a single payer health care plan in this country, and he wants to make college education a right for all U.S. citizens(K-16).
