Can you find it in your hearts to CALL YOUR FRICKEN CONGRESS CRITTERS and REMIND THEM we still have A FIRST AMENDMENT NO MATTER WHAT DELUSIONAL IDIOT SON SAYS?

Geezus on a trailer hitch.

We'd have to wake up 'way more stupid before we agree to this treason

Post your calls here.

1. Ummmm...it's a fucking right!

WTF is this "custom" bullshit?

Peace.

[EFerrari]

4. I just called Feinstein and Boxer's office.

They had't heard this sound bite in the way we did.

So, PLEASE CALL THEM. CALL THEM.

There is so much going on, this important thing will just go under the radar.

Don't let them GET AWAY WITH THAT!

3. A custom is quaint, a law is not.

[EFerrari]

5. Michigan, PLEASE CALL!

Even my blue senators' staff didn't have this in hand when I did.

Man.

6. With all the domestic spying from various and sundry agencies

that is going on. Expressing yourself won't be the "custom" or even safe much longer.

[EFerrari]

7. Their strategy is to minimize the law.

The can have my Constitution when they win it in a beauty contest.

8. You really did it this time.

10. Help me keep this kicked. Have to go to work with this

exploded head.

9. To Bill Nelson (D-FL)

Dear Senator Nelson,

I was appalled when I heard President Bush essentially label a portion of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as "a custom." Surely I heard incorrectly.

Yet the transcript published at CNN.com confirmed my worst fears. Our president views the right to free speech as a custom. That has alarming implications from an executive who seems intent on drastically expanding his powers to the point they are dictatorial.

Bush said, "There's a custom in our country for people to express themselves and it's good. It's what makes us a great country, that people can stand up and tell people what's on their mind. And we're going keep it that way. It's very important for those who didn't agree with the decision, though, to understand the consequences of success in Iraq."

He has already proven his desire to stifle dissent by segregating protestors and requiring loyalty oaths at his appearances. Please encourage your fellow legislators to stand up to his tyranny. Enough is enough!

Regards,

12. K&R. And I had an idea tonight on the drive home.

Since the man is so absolutely brain dead, why don't we all send him organ donation cards...mailed on a pre-designated date?

13. Thanks for posting this.

16. And the idiots that

support him will believe that also tommorrow!

[EFerrari]

21. Because it's in the Bible.

And THAT'S WHY we have to call him out on everything. Because the cumulative effect of his drivel really does erode the little that many people know about our system of government.

[Kurovski]

17. We have another "custom" in our country,

we throw criminals like George in the hooscow.

[NMMNG]

18. My Rep and Senators have been notified

:grr:

[EFerrari]

19. Has this been a day from hell or what?

If I call Nancy Pelosi's office one more time, she may get a restraining order. But, I don't see any other way through this than just persisting.

:nuke:

[NMMNG]

20. Well, maybe she'll finally do something

After all, when the fundie wingnuts clamor enough they sure get action.

24. To protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies

foreign and domestic.

I swore an oath to that back in 91 and still hold to that oath even though I am not in uniform. If ever there was a domestic threat to the Constitution it has been with this administration. This administration better be going down soon. Will give Boxer / Feinstein a call too!
