From WestHoustonDem's GD Post: Co-sponsor Feingold's censure resolution

"This week, I will introduce a resolution in the Senate to censure the President. The reasons for censure are clear: the President authorized a program that illegally wiretaps American citizens, on American soil, without a court order; he also actively mislead the public and Congress on the existence and legality of the program.

Congress can no longer stand by and allow such disregard of the Constitution, the rule of law, and two branches of government to continue. Censure is an appropriate first step in demanding accountability from a President who disregards the rights and freedoms on which our country was founded.

Sign the Resolution

Every American wants to fight terrorism and fight those who wish to do our country harm. We all stand together in that fight. Every American wants the government to be able to wiretap terrorists, and we can under current law! However, this President, or any President for that matter, cannot decide which laws they will obey or cherry-pick which articles of the Constitution they will uphold - and this President continues to do just that. He must be held accountable.

Sign the Resolution

I will continue to push my colleagues to stand up to a President who plays fast and loose with the facts, our freedoms, and our nation's trust. Please sign my resolution to help send the message that we can't afford to let the President be cavalier with our rights.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold

United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund"

3. Just saw on CNN that resolution has been referred to Judiciary Committee.

And, no doubt, it will be die a slow death there, as the Rethugs have the votes and the Chairman Pat Roberts is Dick Cheney's long time good friend. Senator Feingold sits on this committtee as well as the Senate Intelligence Committee.

4. Then call your Senator and ask this question...
