From the Dodd campaign:
In a few hours, Majority Leader Harry Reid will ask for something called a “motion to proceed” on FISA, effectively disregarding Chris Dodd’s “hold” on the bill.
Let me rephrase that for you.
In a few hours, “Majority” Leader Harry Reid will screw over Chris Dodd, the Democratic party, the Constitution, and the American people by using his power and procedural prowess to give George Bush exactly what he wants, immunity for lawbreaking telecom companies.

Harry Reid is not a Democratic leader, he’s a traitor.
Fortunately, some Senators, most notably Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, have pledged to support Dodd’s filibuster and stand up for what’s right. The Dodd campaign is asking you to call them or write them now to make sure they stick to their word.
I’m asking you for a bit more. Dodd will need a lot of support to sustain his filibuster. Call your Senator too and ask them to join in. We’ll need the help of as many lawmakers as we can get to prevent retroactive immunity from becoming law. So give them a call!
If Harry Reid won’t fight for his party, we all have to.
