Progressives Against Obama Begin Organizing Online
Jul 11th, 2008 by director
I never thought I would see the day, but I can’t say that I blame them: Progressives Against Obama is organizing online.
They’re against the decision by Barack Obama to vote for the FISA Amendments Act, which includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications corporations that broke the law to help Bush spy on millions of Americans, and extends those Bush spy programs into the next presidency, legalizing Big Brother government snooping into our private lives.
There’s a lot more that the Progressives Against Obama group is protesting in Obama’s campaign than just FISA. There’s Barack Obama’s weakening position on ending the American occupation of Iraq, for one thing. Then there’s the Obama plan to expand Bush’s corrupt faith-based religious patronage program. Barack Obama has a bit of a problem with homophobia as well, opposing full equal marriage rights and using homophobic preachers like Donnie McClurkin. Then there’s the pro-death-penalty, pro-gun nonsense coming from the Obama campaign.
Take a look around, if you’re feeling burned and betrayed by Obama, as many progressive Americans are.
