Dan McGinn, in the comments, leaves a great note about Dodd's leadership in the FISA fight.
If you look at the official flag for the State of Iowa you can see the state motto:
"Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain".
As an Iowan I am proud that Chris Dodd honored our state motto with his action in Congress to stop retroactive immunity for the telecommunication companies by filibustering the FISA bill. This truly was an effort to treasure our freedom and liberties and to maintain our rights. Thank you Senator.
John Edwards always talks about wanting to fight corporate interests and corruption in Washington as President. How about consideration for Senator Dodd, who actually put up a fight against corporate interests and corruption in Washington and WON the fight, right in the middle of a presidential campaign!
The other candidates keep talking about change, wanting to make change, hoping for change, working hard for change. How about Senator Dodd, who entered the Senate 26 years ago and and has made a career of making change happen and getting results.
I like the Chris Dodd "12 Days of Results" tour. Dodd actually took time off of this tour to produce more results. Imagine what he could do in the Oval Office.
Comments
I didn't have a comment earlier when I was making a donation, but I've thought of something simple since then.
Let's all wear Green (ties, scarves, sweaters, whatever) to show our support for Senator Dodd. Not red, not blue, not purple, just a good old Irish Green that also represents a concern for our environments, all of them.
[And it doesn't hurt that it's also the color of money!]
NICE!
I stopped by JC Penny's yesterday before Senator Dodd's stop here in Council Bluffs and picked up a nice green tie for the event. I had Court before the event and many in the Courthouse complimented my new tie.
It's a great look, and the Senator Dodd will look great wearing his green tie in the Oval Office.
Excellent idea K. Murphy!
