How bout the Declaration of Independence from a bushitler?

for things that Senator Dodd could read on the Senate floor in his filibuster of the FISA/telecom immunity after Harry Reid’s dirty dealings (and betrayal to his party).

You’ve all done a great job. Lots of you recommended that he read the Constitution, a document of which I think many in Washington must be reminded.

But now, in this fresh thread, I’m asking you to write a letter to Sen. Dodd. Tell him how you feel about his principled stand and what the erosions of our civil liberties has meant to you, especially with the compliance of Congress. Please keep them profanity-free, so that Senator Dodd can read them on the Senate floor and let’s have our voices heard by these elected representatives who have forgotten that it is WE who are in charge and they work for us.

1. Has anyone suggested George Orwell's 1984? n/t

[lonestarnot]

2. I don't know but that would be good wouldn't it.

:toast: Also Naomi Wolf's End of America.

[backscatter712]

22. Excellent choice!

May I also recommend Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine, and Greg Palast's Armed Madhouse.

Throw in John Dean's Worse Than Watergate, Conservatives Without Conscience and Broken Government.

4. Even during a Filibuster there must be a link - The Federalist Papers

I printed it from versions I had got on line once, it took 178 pages total.

5. May I suggest the script from Star Wars Episodes 2 and 3

I'd particularly like to see him doing Jar Jar's voice.

6. How about the juicy parts of the Bible?

7. How about the stupid things Bush has said in the last 7 years?

He can't say who said them though because it is against Senate rules.

In fact, there are some great children's books that would do well for this.
