Kennedy has been counting votes and running elections for years. We need to listen to what he is telling us. This is our opportunity to prove we are a force to be reckoned with. If the elections were held today we would control the House and the Oval Office. We are the MAJORITY. Let's start acting like it. They Republicans have never accepted defeat gracefully, why should we.

Kennedy gave us a game plan let's follow it.

9am Monday morning shut down the Senate switchboard.
You can use these toll-free numbers (and ask for the Senators by name): 888-355-3588 or 888-818-6641.

All the Info and Ammo you need on the flip

Tanya's diary :: ::
Yesterday Barack Obama said this



"It's really a question whether I vote against Judge Alito once or twice," he said. Obama conceded that there is some doubt precisely how many Democrats might oppose a filibuster, describing the situation as "in flux."

"There's some dispute with respect to those numbers. We're trying to check that out right now," he said.


In Flux = We are having an impact and the numbers are changing. Apparently his.
Today he said this

10:10 a.m: Good news and bad news: Sen. Obama told George Staphylococcus he will (reluctantly) support the filibuster (#14), but also that it would fail - without identifying which Democrats would cause it to fail, which would help us turn them around. Obama said he opposed "procedural maneuvers" and wished Democrats had framed the substantive issues better.


Senator Kennedy gave us his list of where we need to put our efforts. Keep going I have all the info for the whole list:

1. Was it over when German bombed Pearl Harbor?

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...

Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!



I have posted this many times ...... Millions of dollars have been spent and are being spent by the powers
that be telling us that it is a done deal ...... SCREW THAT!
We might very well lose but it is time to draw a line in the sand and spit in the devil's eye.

Gore did it w/ his speech.
Those law students @ Georgetown did by turning their backs on the A.G.

Keep calling and ask Dorgan & Conrad to at least abstain from voting on cloture if they
can't vote no.
