Senators Clinton and Obama: Prove It


President Bush wants the Senate to pass retroactive immunity for telecommunication companies who spied on Americans. For the President, this isn't just about letting his friends at AT&T and Verizon off the hook. He knows this is the American people's last chance to hold the Bush administration accountable for their warrantless wiretapping of innocent Americans.

The key vote is scheduled for late Monday afternoon and the count is down to the wire. We need 41 Senators to stand up to President Bush and right now we have only 36.

Senators Clinton and Obama are the missing votes. If Senator Clinton or Obama stands up and leads from the floor of the U.S. Senate and calls upon the 8 senators that have endorsed their campaigns to stand with them, we'll have the votes we need and the American people will win.


Democracy for America will not stay silent and hope our Presidential candidates will lead. We demand it. That's why we're running this ad in the New York Times on Monday.

Take action now and make sure the media pressures Senators Clinton and Obama too. Contact the major media outlets below to make sure they know what you want our presidential candidates to do and include the ad link.

On Monday, we'll back up the ad with phone calls to every Senator in the country demanding they stand up to President Bush and stop retroactive immunity for telecom companies that spied on Americans.

We're standing up and taking action. Senators Clinton and Obama say they are ready to lead. Let's see them prove it.

Thank you for everything you do.

-Charles
