. . .I would love to see that same heat turned on Levin not to cave.

Come on folks, Keith getting back on air isn't as important as repealing DADT, is it?

Senate is not in session yet and this is not a done deal, rather than giving up and getting down on Levin. I would love to see people put the same passion into the real issues that they put into the suspension of a media personality.

1. That's a good idea
We should get Keith to take this up his first night back. He's in the best position to harness the movement that got him back on the air.

5. Honestly I dont buy the whole premise that its not going to get done
Course I dont buy into the Obama is a homophobe BS either so maybe my rose colored glasses are getting the better of me.

I've signed petitions.
Here there and everywhere about DADT. I'm a Canadian, however, so no one is going to pay attention to me in your government. If you want me to sign another petition or write a letter, I will be happy to do so. I think this is a totally assinine pov, the one that says homosexuals are just wrong somehow, and would love to see it repealed. Time for the US to join the rest of the Western world.

7. Email Bold Progressives and ask them to put up a petition.
People WILL put the passion in if someone starts the ball rolling.
317,600 people have taken action

Here's a link to their site http://act.boldprogressives.org/sign/petition_olbermann/?akid=2628.376360.hn5flN&rd=1&source=e1-3mo-subj&t=1

They did a lot of work during the election for various progressive candidates. I think if they got enough requests, they would push Congress on DADT also.

8. What makes you think Levin will cave? Did I miss something important?!?!
I would be happy to call my Senator if there is a possibility it will help.
