Activists on the Left Applying Pressure to Democratic Leaders - washingtonpost.com

Hopefully a little pressure will work, or the rest of us will be up there as well.

We need to let the Dems get through their initial initial time and plan, but they must not foget the the watch words are truth and accountability.

Activists on the Left Applying Pressure to Democratic Leaders - washingtonpost.com:

Democratic leaders set to take control of Congress tomorrow are facing mounting pressure from liberal activists to chart a more confrontational course on Iraq and the issues of human rights and civil liberties, with some even calling for the impeachment of President Bush.

The carefully calibrated legislative blitz that Democrats have devised for the first 100 hours of power has left some activists worried the passion that swept the party to power in November is already dissipating. A cluster of protesters will greet the new congressional leaders at the Capitol tomorrow. They will not be disgruntled conservatives wary of Democratic control, but liberals demanding a ban on torture, an end to warrantless domestic spying and a restoration of curbed civil liberties.
