NetRunnersays...From YT: http://liebermanmustgo.com
Joe Lieberman has launched consistent, deeply partisan attacks on President-elect Barack Obama, questioning his patriotism and fitness to lead. While Lieberman campaigned for John McCain and spoke on his behalf at the Republican National Convention, he spread some of the GOP's nastiest smears. Think Progress has provided thorough evidence of Lieberman's partisan politics. Lieberman should not be allowed to have subpoena power to investigate the Obama administration as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In fact, he should not be allowed to remain chairman of this or any other committee.
Lieberman has proven he cannot be trusted to hold a high rank within the Democratic caucus. That is why we launched Lieberman Must Go last summer, a campaign that caught Congress' attention when we delivered a petition with over 43,000 signatures. Now, we ask you to help us escalate the pressure by contacting members of the Senate Democratic Steering Committee. Tell them to strip Lieberman of his chairmanship in the Democratic caucus.
We have included a sample script and phone numbers below for you to use, and we ask that you be polite when you explain why Lieberman Must Go.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out...
NetRunnersays...^ I agree with Obama. Lieberman shouldn't be booted from the Democratic caucus altogether. However, he should be stripped of his Chairmanships of crucial committees.
That's what Reid has said he wants to do, and Lieberman is saying "If you do that, I'll leave the caucus".
If he does that, that's his choice, but he doesn't get to stay without paying a price for what he's done.
If he joins the Republican caucus, he won't get a committee chair at all (they're the minority party, after all), and I guarantee you he won't get reelected in 2012 as a Republican.
Though really, I don't think he'll get reelected no matter what he does now.
