Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald: How to take a stand for your country
This not about Republicans or Democrats but is about how we will ever learn about governmental wrongdoing. As Glenn astutely points out that Mr. Bush and his minons are actively seeking to muzzle the press and its ability to monitor governmental actions through criminal law.
The water carrier Sen. DeWine is more than happy to write bills that is a "loaded gun" to silence any and all whistleblowers in government as is Sen. Roberts in aiming legislation whose clear intent is to intimidate the mandated role of journalism in the Constitution and protected in the Bill of Rights.
This is a time for Democratic Party leaders to take the courageous stand and to stop the political madness of the Republicans in the White House and in Congress.
As party precinct caucus date arrives it is high time for the netroots to introduce planks into the party platform that tells the leadership that we understand the threat to the very basis of this nation by the Republicans. The Constitution and Bill of Rights and those principals within should never be discarded because of an upcoming election or proving that you're a team player or looking for the "moderate" voter come election time.
