Let us get a thread going for all the calls we make today, ready, set, go.
Edited on Mon Jun-14-04 04:51 AM by anarchy1999

It's only 5:00am in Central Time and I can't sleep, I'm just laying in wait.

There will be lots of positive energy being driven here today. Post all your calls and responses. RING THE PHONES and the FAXES OFF THE WALLS OF CONGRESS. WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY!

There is no excuse for CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS, There is no excuse for VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION. WE ARE THE PEOPLE AND YOU WORK FOR US! We Gave You Your JOBS, now DO WHAT YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO! UPHOLD OUR CONSTITUTION AND TAKE BACK YOUR HONOR.

2. Okay mopaul, are you on the East Coast? You are aren't you.?
Grab the list, start making calls and post the first responses you receive, call Congress and the Media. Don't let up! CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS IS THE CRY! Violation of our CONSTITUTION.

Unacceptable behavior (that comes from what my mom and I watched another mom say to their two year old many years back, we both laughed then, this is UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR now, you m'f'ers work for me and the rest of us!). DO YOUR JOB and UPHOLD YOUR OATH.

If they say they need help, send them to Senator Byrd's office, I'm sure he or any member of his staff can help them to do what is right, By the people, for the people and of the people. We don't have alot of time left to fix it, if we can and its going to take alot of us.

the beast........ as in DALLAS! Halliburton and all, including hate radio and the www.protestwarrior.com lovely group of folks. We ought to get together sometime with BartCop in Tulsa, a very nice midway point with lots of nice lakes around. How about this summer?

Okay, so it's a race, which congresscritter or media person are you calling first? I'm starting again with Biden, I just loved what he had to say last week in the hearing on Tuesday, a little late, but late is better than never, IMHO.

9. You've got to call all the Repubs as well, it worked last week, it will
be better this week. They know the are in a hole they need to quit digging into. Trust me on this. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson's staff was more subdued than they ever have been in the last two years and there is no tougher nut to crack than her.

I think she may be in the process of deciding she needs more time with family.

10. Add Durbin to your list
He had a few choice words to say, too.

Doesn't it feel good to have some spines to cheer for!

15. Okay mopaul, just finished with Hatch, Kennedy, Durbin and Biden,
how far along are you?

Interestingly enough, Hatch's office was the nicest? What's up with that? They are getting lots of calls, need more! All of them, let them know the Reagan lovefest didn't make us forget....

SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT CLEAR.......

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS!! UNCONSTITUTIONAL!! UNACCEPTABLE!! DO YOUR JOB!!

18. How is it going everyone? Personally, it is an exercise in frustration
and probably why Mr. Anarchy says he is through with electoral politics. They don't listen and they don't care. On to the media.....maybe they do...,not......sorry to be so cynical...

5. Is not being able to sleep contagious?
I *hate* waking up early! It makes the rest of the day crappy.

I have my list together, and almost can't wait to make calls. I'm also going to call Henry Waxman, CA, because he's been doing such a good job of adding up the numbers. He's been very resolute about keeping tabs on all that's going down.

I have a feeling that things are really piling up against the misadministration. I think this is a very good time to keep applying pressure.

Then, I have to spend a lot of time compiling phone numbers, and making a new list of contacts for my district, and start calling for our Senate candidate. I'm excited about him, but really dreading these calls. It's hard to reach people, they don't return calls, etc. GAK. But, it's gotta be done, and our district person is a delegate to the national convention and up to her eyebrows in stuff that has to be done, so ......... somebody has to pick up some slack. I may have to have the phone surgically removed when all this is over. :)

Happy Monday, anarchy and mopaul. If that's possible. :hi:

Kanary

12. Hey everyone, it's important to call the Senators that called it Contempt
It is more important to put the heat on the partisan support and call the Republicans, turn up the heat, put it on HIGH! Call the REPUBLICANS AND CALL THEM ON CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS! Far better than lies about a blue dress and a cigar. Those lies didn't kill thousands of people.

13. Just talked to Sen Leahy's office, the others aren't in till 8:30 or 9:00
I just thanked the Senator and asked that he please press forward and not let this administration get away with Contempt of Congress, I apologized for calling from another state (as in Texas and the staff person understood) and I also told this person they were going to be getting hundreds of phone calls. Go, everyone go, to the phones, make your voices be heard!

14. OK to email, or are phone calls preferable?
Just in case it's hard to get through? Or are emails more likely to be ignored? Or is there some other reason not to email? Just wondering, thanks!
