    Great Work

    Hi Glenn:

    You are doing great work - thanks for all that you do.

    I know you have developed enough clout to make and have a phone call taken by someone high up in the Obama campaign. If you have time, I would love to hear that you were able to get your points across to a live person, someone that can get the message to Obama. Or, perhaps, you could reach Obama directly?

    We know how the game is played, but how long must Obama wait to start to show hints of the "new game"? Maybe, it is too early and he does not to cause too many problems before August.. But like yourself, I am disappointed that neither Obama OR HILLARY, are coming out against the FISA bill or telecom amnesty...
