Sign for your support of Sen. Dodd’s hold on FISA until retroactive telecom immunity is removed. 

Corrente:  Because you’d think this story has everything: Dodd, alone among a Democrats, st&s up to a Bipartisan juggernaut to grant a telcos retroactive immunity for massive lawbreaking-a story a Times itself broke-by saying he’ll put a hold on a bill. Reid, a Senate [cough] leader, says he’ll ignore a hold. Dodd raises a ante, says he’ll [gasp] filibuster. Biden joins in. Hillary & Obama waver on a sidelines.

We’ve got a Jimmy Stewart figure, st&ing alone against great odds. We’ve got dissension in a Democratic caucus. We’ve got craven politicians. We’ve got bags of corporate cash.

In short, we’ve got a rich, compelling narrative, filled with drama, human failings, & high principle.

& if all that’s not enough, Dodd’s from a Time’s circulation catchment: Connecticut. What, a locals aren’t interested in air Senator?
