1. Answer to democratic leadership

Ditto to those two plus no to RAPE AND TORTURE of prisoners
(See DailyKos today Zdefenders diary); no indefinite
detention--right to a speedy trial; releasing of documents on
mistreatment of detainees per order of US District Judge Jed
S.Rakoff.)  That's just for starters!

2. I saw this letter...

and imemdiately thought it was just political posturing before the midterms, a little something Dems running can take back to their districts -- I am not impressed. If they want to get serious, then talk about Iraq, torture, illegal wiretapping, etc.

I am not saying the issues listed are not important but, I think when the country and constitution is under attack, it feels like rearranging the chairs on Titanic.
