Can you believe that congressional primaries are still happening across the country? They are. And wouldn't it help to know a primary candidate's position on FISA and other Constitutional issues prior to voting?
The Get FISA Right group is finding out the answers, using a questionnaire developed on our wiki. The survey includes a section on the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 followed by a section on Constitutional Rights. Challengers are scored on a curve with a grading method discussed in our web forum. Incumbents are graded on the vote they made in the House and Senate when the flawed bill was passed. Those who voted Nay get an A, while those who voted Yea get an F.
The draft of the Democratic party platform is out. Does the section entitled "Reclaiming Our Constitution and Our Liberties" go far enough? How does it compare with Get FISA Right's proposals?
