1. You'll have to narrow that down a bit

otherwise I'll be on the phone all afternoon demanding an apology for everything he's said and done in the past 3.5 years.

[BR_Parkway]

2. LOL, that was my thought too! n/t

[Mari333]

3. I did. as a mother of a soldier in Iraq.

I was listened to by a really nice young woman. She sounded pretty tired...looks like the lines are pretty busy with pissed off people calling in about this.
Keep them hopping. Im pissed.

[BeHereNow]

8. I knew you would be on this Mari...

When I add it all together, this was the final straw for me.

4. Be Careful!

If you overload the WH phone system, you could be accused of committing an act of terror!

17. Hi Ryan10!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[BeHereNow]

5. Narrow it down to this:

Our troops were sent to Iraq and die there daily
based on the WMD claim.
Not a matter to joke about, under ANY circumstances
and YOU want an apology!
Support our troops and don't allow this moron to
make a joke of their lives and the reason they are now in hell.

7. I just did

said i was disapointed, the lady sounded nice but tired

[chelsea0011]

9. I did and stay on the line to talk to a real person...don't press 1

I love the "what state are you calling from" question. I said Massachusetts. I wonder if it went in the trash. I should have said Texas.

[Mari333]

10. Here..send an email to cnn also

they are playing this down too much....give it to them both barrels

Im mad. I spoke with a woman today whose kid is there, she called me, she was crying. I told her to come on the boards here, that she would find out she has friends.
The military families are outraged, the news isnt covering the outrage.
Its Vietnam on Steroids, folks. The military families are mad as hell. Im not kidding..you should hear some of the stories Im hearing.

11. How do we get the number to them Mari?

Is there a way to pass the commentary number to
the MFSO members?
This is beyond offensive in a general sense, it is now PERSONAL.

16. Just called-

Spoke a a really great woman "N" who said she was
on her way out to speak to a demonstration where the
Smirker is- gave her the WH number to share with her
audience to encourage them to call.

18. Good shes a major fighter

Shes kicking ass.

[plcdude]

12. sent this to CNN

I am shocked and disgusted with taking the issue of the lack of WMD to be a laughing matter. This is reprehensible both on the part of the Whitehouse and a media outlet to show this obscenity. Shouldn't you be fined?

[noiretextatique]

14. kick

15. Here's what I just sent to CNN:

I'm not sure which is worse, George W Bush making tasteless jokes about not finding Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, or having the poor news judgement to actually air such drivel.

[BeHereNow]

19. GO DU!

We must not relent on our demand for an apology.
I want those WH operators to say to their families
when they get off work and get home,
"OH MY GOD, you can't believe all the
calls I got about the WMD jokes today!"

20. Shameless kick- DU it guys!

[Mari333]

21. kick for all of these kids and soldiers and people who Bush laughs at

http://www.bringthemhomenow.org
REMEMBER HOW MANY DIED. MORE DIED TODAY MANY WILL DIE AND BE WOUNDED AS THIS CONTINUES AND BUSH AND THE WEALTHY AT BLACK TIE DINNERS KEEP LAUGHING AT OUR LOVED ONES AS THEY SUFFER,AS WE SUFFER AND WORRY BECAUSE THEY DONT CARE, BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOT OVER THERE
TIME TO EMAIL CNN AND CALL THE WHITE HOUSE AND LET THEM HAVE IT. EMAIL EVERY NEWS STATION AND TELL THEM YOU ARE OUTRAGED.

[BeHereNow]

22. Oh Mari...

those picturesare devastating.
KICK!
BHN

[Mari333]

23. bUSH THINKS IT FUNNY ALL HIS WEALTHY FRIENDS

think its hilarious that our kids are dying and being wounded, and that thousands of civilians suffered, and that his PNAC war is destroying our country and that our childrens futures are being destroyed by the cost of the war
these wealthy assholes think its funny folks!!!!
email cnn call the WH get on these assholes email every media outlet you can and let them have it
please
I have a kid over there, he says "help us get out of this hellhole"
and Bush thinks its funny.

[BeHereNow]

24. MFSO is the ONLY way

to put a stop to this madness.
The general public is asleep as long as it
is someone else's kid there.
The Military families speaking out is the ONLY way
to put an end to this blatant misuse of our troops.
I am constantly sending information to my nephew and
is wife and enouraging them to "pass it on" to their
fellow service people.
the kids need to know that they are the butt
of a truley cruel scheme- then and only then
will they find the courage to say "no."
That is what it is going to take.
A unified and massive "NO, I will not fight an unjust
war for corporate profits."

[Mari333]

25. and the military families are being threatened to shut up

Im not the only one being threatened.
Dont worry, the right people know. nuff said.

[BeHereNow]

26. Coffins and wounded may be shut out

but not the growing numbers of concerned
and affected families.
Our troops need to know they will be supported
for saying "no."
My nephew and his wife are fully cognizant, as are
many of their peers- what makes them hesitate is
the fear that they will not be suported should they
speak out.
WE MUST SUPPORT THE TROOPS!
They need us to help them resist what
is being inflicted on them.
Until then, the numbers of loss will continue to grow.

27. Before I call, what is this phone number?

CNN? The White House? What?

[BeHereNow]

28. Public commentary/feedback line

to the White House.
Be sure to stay on the line for the live operator-
not the voice recording that you get by pressing "one."
Just wait and you will be connected to a live operator-
let us know how it goes!
