john in sacramento commented on the blog post Obama and Clinton Resume Arms Sales to the Torturers of Bahrain

The letter has so far been signed by Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the progressive caucus co-chairmen, as well as Reps. Jan. Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), who sit on the progressive caucus committee that deals with aging issues.

About strategy and tactics … I think a fresh reading of Sun Tzu and Gene Sharp are in order
