obama's site has a 4K+ strong telecom immunity opposition group

BOOKMARK
I find Obama's acceptance of telecom immunity extremely disturbing. He's letting the wingnuts frame the debate and allowing through a provision that sets an extremely dangerous precedent. His weakness on this issue is a fine example of why dems lost the last two presidential elections.
That said, there's little bit of a silver lining here. His official campaign site/social network hosts a rather popular group that strongly opposes telecom immunity and is openly critical of Obama's stance on the issue. Obama deserves credit for allowing his site to be more than a mere recruitment tool. It's not insignificant to allow dissenters to voice their opinions on your campaign site. It seems like a no-brainer, but it's largely unprecedented. It gives me hope that there's still something to this Obama fellow.
And that's why this I'm asking you to donate $$ to Obama today. Q2 ends tonight and it'd be great to have some strong numbers to report.
