In the euphoria of yesterday's results we should not forget about the
NRCC robocall scandal. This might have influenced some of the close races we lost like Duckworth in Illinois that weakened our majority.
I understand the need to project responsible mature leadership but it is essential that the Democrats fight back on this HARD, (even if its behind the scenes so as not to upset the delicate sensibilities of the Candy Crowley's of the world). It would be absolutely unconscionable if in 2008 we have to deal with this crap again!
more after the fold...
Rahm Emmanuel
claimed that the Dems were going to take care of this after the election. In light of his
recent comments that the party "cannot allow the party's liberal wing to dominate the agenda next year", we need to make sure that this was not empty rhetoric!
Contact Rahm Emmanuel and hold his feet to the fire:

Do people have other suggestions on how to make sure that this is addressed? Should we push to require that automated political calls no longer be exempt from the do not call registry?
