Video: Feingold Thanks Supporters in FISA Fight

clipped from firedoglake.com
Sen. Russ Feingold recorded a message for all of you to say thanks for all of your efforts on the FISA bill:

The outpouring of support from you and across the country, in letters and e-mails and phone calls and the blogs has been absolutely fantastic. It really made a difference, as we mounted a challenge this week that almost nobody thought could work. We did stop this thing for now -- it is delayed until after the July 4th weekend.

I teased some of my colleagues...I said, we can celebrate the constitution on July 4th, and when we come back maybe you'll decide not to tear it up....I'm deeply grateful for your support.
Sen. Feingold has been a real leader on this issue, as he and Sens. Dodd and Leahy push to remove telecom immunity from the FISA bill in their amendment.
As is so often the case, I write a morning post about something, then later come up with a good example. In this case, the subject was patriotism and now I show you a patriot.
