    Moberg’s excellent article poses the question of how to “pressure” Obama. But the groups that Moberg is talking about are not pressuring Obama. They’re supporting Obama. The only real way to pressure Obama is to threaten to withhold support, and nobody that Moberg interviewed is planning to do that.

    Contact the Obama/Biden campaign and tell them that unless there is repeated, emphatic commitment on this issue you aren’t going to vote for them and you’re going to encourage others to refuse to vote for them also.
