Wall Street Journal: Paul Camp, Liberals Unite On Spy Bill

Type of Content: Article FISA Fight Creates Coalition WASHINGTON -- The fight over immunity for telecom companies in domestic-spying legislation is creating an unexpected side effect: unity among liberal bloggers and Ron Paul supporters. Liberal activists and supporters of the Texas Republican and former presidential candidate plan to join forces Thursday and begin a "money bomb" protest of lawmakers who support telecom immunity in the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act. During a "money bomb," grassroots activists donate money during a short period of time -- usually a day -- to create buzz and raise money for their candidate. The effort is timed to coincide with a planned Senate vote on the bill. Libertarians and liberal activists have blasted Democratic lawmakers, including presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, for supporting the legislation. Both groups are upset about a provision in the bill that would provide retroactive immunity from civil actions for telecom companies alleged to have provided information to the government as part of its secret, warrantless wiretapping program. The House passed the legislation on June 20 and a Senate vote could come as soon as Thursday. "There's entrenched power in Washington that protects itself and there are people on both sides who don't feel like they're having their rights protected," says Jane Hamsher, one of the organizers behind the effort and founder of the popular Democratic blog Firedoglake. "It's really about right and left coming together to fight the entrenched power and take their power away." The fund-raiser represents a novel partnership between the two groups, which have separately proven themselves adept at organizing activists and readers to take action. If it goes well, organizers say it could mark the beginning of a more far-reaching partnership between the two groups, which agree on issues from ending the Iraq war to protection of civil liberties. "For us, it's a natural alliance," says Trevor Lyman of BreaktheMatrix.com, and one of the organizers behind the famous Ron Paul "money bombs" which stunned the political establishment by raising about $14 million total for the Texas congressman's now-suspended presidential campaign. "When it comes to civil liberties, we're absolutely aligned" with liberal activists, he says, although he notes the two groups remain far apart on other matters such as economic issues. "We stand so closely on this issue." Mr. Paul missed the recent House vote on the domestic-spying legislation but later released a statement that he "strongly opposed every previous FISA overhaul attempt and I certainly would have voted against this one as well." Discussions between the liberal bloggers and Mr. Paul's supporters for a joint venture only began about a week ago, but took off as anger about the telecom immunity increased in both communities. The two groups agreed to form a bipartisan political action committee, Accountability Now, and to use the Democratic fund-raising site ActBlue.com to handle the paperwork involved in legally processing political donations. Beginning Thursday, blogs associated with both groups plan to begin plugging the joint-fundraising effort, asking their readers to pledge donations for the "money bomb" event. Organizers say they'd like to raise "as much as possible," perhaps several million dollars, during their one-day "money bomb," which is likely to be held in August. They say they're not yet sure what they'd do with proceeds from the fund-raiser. Most likely it will be used to fund advertisements against Democratic and Republican lawmakers who supported the warrantless wiretapping legislation. It would also likely be used to fund ads supporting congressional challengers who are against the bill. Write to Amy Schatz at Amy.Schatz@wsj.com Read »

Timothy Garton Ash was one of the most articulate and influential advocates of "liberal interventionism" and so his effective recantation of the doctrine yesterday should not go unremarked. In a subtle re-branding exercise he declared instead for "liberal internationalism", which he defined in the following way.

The whistleblower at the heart of a lawsuit against AT&T for illegal eavesdropping says Congress is set to stage a 'coup against the Constitution' as it nears passage of a new spying bill.

Israel, purportedly our friend, has been spying on us all. And we're not talking about individual spooks like Jonathan Pollard, or small-time networks such as the 140 Israelis arrested by the FBI prior to 9/11, or the 60 arrested since (including 5 arrested who were cheering and celebrating as the World Trade Towers collapsed)...........

Spying always sparks up arguments, but for me its really is if it is to help with national security then it should be allowed, we cant let people get away with anything because its 'unethical' to do so...come on people they dont care about that now do they!

Situation in the USA today the disturbing. People believe, that Obama will pull out them from crisis for a year-two. Fondly! Unless under force to one person the such? Obama it is limited in means. Looking at it, I recollect the marquis who has declared after the well-known voyage to Russia: " It is necessary to visit there to understand, that the tsar "cannot. That cannot Obama, it is possible to understand, and not crossing Atlantic. Clearly while, alas, not all: the credit of the trust which has been given out to the new American leader by half of the population of the USA (it is not necessary to forget, that for its contender McCain 46 percent of voters), and also politicians have voted and public opinion in Europe, it is great. For Bush so did not hope. Obama not only other works" on the newcomer ", but also outwardly black, the democrat speaks harmoniously. Whether but other it as a matter of fact? Whether there will be other its policy? While we observe results of brilliant work on change of image of the USA and their leader, but behind a facade sooner or later will appear an interior. The road of illusions long, but also it has a limit. I think, that it is measured first year of board Obama.

A bright but ultra-liberal Hispanic woman, Sotomayor would allow Obama to check three boxes with a single pick. The mere mention of her name brings fear to in-the-know conservatives.

Ultimately, they believe that they have the right to take property by force from its rightful owner and give it to someone they deem needs it more. We believe that is armed robbery and and act of war. How will we bridge that without them giving up the core of what makes them "liberals?"

We can also point out that a freeer, more self-governing people is not at ALL antithetical to effective PROGRESS on many of the social inequalities/ problems (as opposed to the usual ineffective hot air and posturing) they (open-minded "lefties") are (rightly) concerned about.

Liberals spoke about necessity of change of the national policy based on the national sovereignty, and republicans spoke about necessity for America protection of own safety and for the sake of it about necessity to strike blow on any potential opponent.

It seems as if there is some article concerning Ron Paul in a major media news source almost everyday. As the Wall Street Journal reports this morning, several Ron Paul supporters are working with liberal bloggers to raise money to help pressure the Senate into defeating the new FISA Spy Bill. As we reported yesterday, the best hopes of defeating the bill lie with Senator Feingold, who claims he will filibuster.

And here is how the management usually approaches to formation of a policy? Presence of a policy is the formal requirement of the standard, of conformity to which certification is spent. Here also there is frequently the formal document, named "Policy", but the real policy not reflecting.

Republican legislators and the White house have come to the agreement on change of the bill regulating activity of military courts. As informs The Washington Post referring to anonymous sources in the administration, the new project guarantees to the government much more the rights in identification of civilians, as participants of the illegal armed formations. So, in particular, any foreigner affirms as a new variant of the law, "participating in military actions against the USA or rendering to them purposeful material support", that, can be arrested for uncertain term and contain in military prison or the special centres of CIA. The previous variant of the law presented last week, provided, that reprisals can concern only those who accepted direct participation in operations against the USA.

he thinking liberal's foundation of faith in a big federal government and big media must be shaken by what he sees they've conspired to in the past few years. More than ever, I hear liberals talk about the Constitution. Go figure that!

I am hardcore libertarian and I think that working on issue specific alliances with respectable people on the left and right is a VERY powerful way to start attackign the establishment. I recommend that all democrats who are peaceful at heart to read Chapter 14 of Murray Rothbard's "For A New Liberty".
http://mises.org/books/newliberty.pdf ___________page 339
You will read some fo the most concise, logical convincing arguments for maintaining a non-interventionist foreign policy. You will see that mainstream democrats and republicans are consistently working against the common man.
There is no reason why truly peaceful democrats/non-interventionist republicans and libertarians should not start workign together. Carrol Quigley explained the system of control precisely, David Rockefeller has employed Kissinger and Brezinski for thei r entire lives....whoever wins(obama or McCain) America will still be under the control of a david rockefeller interventionist....we can fight these people, they intentionally keep us divided up over phony issues liek gay marriage and Murphy Brown...it is a silly trick to keep us from fighting the real enemey...the rockefeller,Kissinger, Brezinski, Neo-con-Clinton pro interventionist alliance!
Military scientists this week got the go ahead to build a roughly 1/3-scale model of a stratospheric airship that if completed in-scale will basically house a floating 15-story radar system capable of detecting and tracking everything from small cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles to soldiers and small vehicles under foliage up to 300 kilometers away.

Yes, our real work has to be to expose the real enemies to liberty: the neo-con agenda and its proponents! We have had no real government for decades; only those who belong to Skull and Bones who want to break our backs and keep our grandchildren in deep debt. Enough already!! The rhetoric between the two parties is just that: rhetoric. There will only be real change when we, the people, take control again. It is no wonder that Congress now has the lowest rating EVER (9%)...they do absolutely nothing. Folks, we are at a crossroads and re3VOLution is the only answer.
