[anarchy1999]

through clenched teeth.

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS and the PEOPLE of this United States!!!!!!!!

[wndycty]

1. Join the drive!

[shraby]

2. Thank goodness someone

is leaking stuff to the press, otherwise congress would know nothing.

[LittleApple81]

3. See notting, know notting, say notting.....That was Asscroft today.n/t

[KoKo]

4. He really doesn't come off as being too bright. I loved the part where

he had to check with his lawyers about revealing whether there were any "other" memos that the President had seen or was involved in. Given the WaPo,NYT's and WSJ articles about "what did Bush sign off to in the "torturegate scandal" today in LBN Forum I'd say Asscroft needed to check "very carefully" with those lawyers, lest he reveal what the little Chimp was up to in abusing Executive Privilege in a "time of war."

Cat's coming out of the bag, though. Just peeking...but some of the Senators seemed to know what's at stake.

If only this could be the revelation that does it. Combine that with the Plame Leak, Chalabi, and "being above the US Law" it seems "Treason and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors" would do it.

[indepat]

6. Let's don't get our hopes up that this Republican-controlled Congress

will every fulfill their constitutional responsibilities and prerogatives in dealing with this Administration, in keeping the separation of powers intact for, IMHO, most of those in Congress have violated their oaths of office in furtherance of the whims and desires of this Administration to an extent it is tantamount to this nation no longer being able/willing to govern itself with one man dictating the entire agenda, the purse strings, the declaration of war authority reserved to the Congress. And yes, the Supreme Court is equally complicit IMHO, but what does one individual know?

[anarchy1999]

5. See the above thread and make the calls. This is a moment in time

FOR US ALL!!!!

[anarchy1999]

39. DIALING FOR DEMOCRACY---------

How's it going everyone, shall we start a new thread? The best way to combat this media overkill is just jam their phones and their faxes. We have all the tools on this thread, my phone and my fax are working overtime........

CALL, Fax, SAY it Loud and Clear, enough of this Reagan Love Fest, I want to know more about Ashcroft's contempt of CONGRESS!

[TexasSissy]

53. I just love Joe Biden.

[Lakerstan]

65. Here's Jon Stewart's take:

http://www.everythingisnt.com/archives/00001564.htm

[anarchy1999]

70. Two hours and counting......... June 14, 2004, LET'S GO! Whoops,

LET'S ROLL!!!!!


It's almost 5:00 in Central Time Zone Land. All you guys on the East Coast get ready and here we go...............a rolling blast of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. Who is on first?

[anarchy1999]

71. Here we go, it's time, Let's ROLL! ........BRING IT ON!

TO THE PHONES EVERYONE! Just 5 to 10 minutes is all you need to make it happen. CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNACCEPTABLE, DO YOUR JOB or else you are FIRED! You work for US, the people of this United States and we will no longer tolerate what you this administration is doing in our name.

[anarchy1999]

75. EVERYONE GET GOING AND GET ON THE PHONE!

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, What more do you need? Get on the phone and call and demand responsibility and accountability, these people work for you, for god's sake.!! You don't work for them!!!!! FIRE THEM IF THEY WON'T DO THEIR JOB. TELL THEM YOU Are GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE FIRED.

Or maybe it just doesn't matter anymore. Whose country is it?

[geek tragedy]

7. Screw contempt of congress

Draft articles of impeachment!

[anarchy1999]

8. Contempt is a nice place to start!!

Go with it and call!!!!!!

Where is Calimary and here list of the media. I have it, but I know someone here can post it faster!!!

Call CNN, Call ABC, CBS and NBC and Fox and every Clear ChaNNEL Station in your area. Keep saying it, "CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS, John."

Contempt of Congress is something everyone can understand. There is no getting around it and Ashcroft was an amazing example. He should resign or be fired this afternoon and then be held accountable.

[Kanary]

9. Found the media list....

Though I really suggest calling Congressional offices first....... Need to thank those who need to be thanked, and be a thorn in the side for those needing pushing....

12. Had to take a couple of hours off, I'm back and ready to call and fax.

To the phones, each and everyone of us all. Here is our chance. (I think).

On edit:
Thank you Kanary, for finding the list.

[Kanary]

14. The most important thing we can ALL do is TAKE ACTION

It's so easy to get off a quick bash at a fellow DUer......but calling constantly, and reminding our reps we're watching them is a better use of our time and energy.

Some time back, there was a DUer who said he had made a vow to spend 15 minutes every day writing and calling. Think what an impact it would make if we were ALL doing that!

To the phones, indeed!

Kanary

[anarchy1999]

15. Well Put, Kanary!

Everyone, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Much like sending flowers to Senator Byrd for his stand on the floor of the Senate in October of 2002! Don't let this slip by.

[Kanary]

20. I guess I'm getting my friends trained. ^_^

I left a messsage for a friend today to watch C-Span. When I got home tonight, I had a message from her, exclaining what a great experience it was to watch the jerk squirming. She ended with "I've put in calls to all of them, thanking them for pressing the issue, and telling them not to let up on it."

Hehe..... once folks get used to making those calls, it becomes automatic... and a great release!

WE'll keep calling until WE Get Our Country BACK!

Kanary

[anarchy1999]

23. What a treat!

Thank you so much for sharing.

This is it. The only thing we have left is a march on Washington. I'm too old to walk that far, Damn it. If I have to, I will though.

Kanary, Do you think they are ever going to listen to our calls?

[Kanary]

24. Call me Pollyanna -- I think they *are* listening

From a few of the staff reactions at various times, I think the calls *are* having an effect.

The problem is, we have to remember that the Reich Wing has been dedicated to doing this for many years now, and don't let up. They call and squaaack at *everything*. They have made themselves impossible to ignore. *That's* what we're up against..... we have to learn that if we really want our country back, we're going to have to take it seriously, and start making a lot of noise, make noise consistently, and be prepared to make it a lifestyle. It isn't a one or two shot deal. It's a commitment.

We're so used to getting bent out of shape if some small thing causes us discomfort, or requires some effort. So, the thought of having to stay on top of issues, and calling and writing continuously galls us. I don't like it either, all that much. All things being equal, I'd really rather be sailing. :)

However, to keep things in perspective, I remember the troops out there in that broiling sun, never knowing when they'll get blown to bits, and the Iraqi people themselves, having endured a hell I can't even imagine, and hunkering down while their whole country is going up in smoke, then being occupied by a foreign horde they didn't invite, and watching family and neighbors being "disappeared". Compared to all that, spending 15 minutes a day calling and/or writing really doesn't seem like all that much.

The issue is that if there are so many thousands of us who are deeply displeased that we could have such huge marches, then there are enough of us to pressure for change if we all keep at this on a daily basis. There are some great scoops here, terrific info, and it's almost a crime not to put it to use.... not just chatting back and forth among ourselves about it, but making sure that this info gets to the "fencesitters", and that our representatives in the government have absolutely no doubt what it is we are expecting from them.

I hear ya about getting too old to do all the walking. My foot hears ya, my knee hears ya, and my aching back hears ya. :) I think so many of us see just how bad the whole situation is with our nation, and want it back. It's overwhelming to see just how much needs to be done, and we get tired just thinking of all we *should* be doing. But, the fact is, we still have lives to live, and still need to find time and energy to just enjoy. So, finding our niche, as you've done with urging people to take action, is very important. You're doing a lot to Take It Back, and I applaud you.

Kanary

[ibegurpard]

25. Bravo!

One of the things that concerns me a great deal is the sentiment I see expressed that getting rid of Bush is the big goal. It's just the BEGINNING! We can NEVER allow ourselves to become complacent again, as so many of us did after Clinton won in 1992.

[anarchy1999]

26. For all of us here that have bones that are aching, go to .....

See you on the road.

sorry for complaining.....truly.

[Triana]

10. letter...

(sent to the committee members)

John Ashcroft's abject refusal to provide Congress with copies of or access to the torture memos relating to the Abu Ghraib and Guantanimo prison abuses is not only incredibly arrogant, but is directly in Contempt of Congress, as Senator Biden stated.

I hereby request that Congress collectively cite AG Ashcroft for Contempt, as this cannot and should not go unchallenged.

That information belongs to the people of the United States, in whose names the torture and prisoner abuse at Guantanimo and Abu Ghraib prisons, and in whose names these incredible violations of the Geneva Conventions was done.

Those photographs, those abuses, those images -- ARE US in the eyes of the world. Therefore, both the United States Congress and the people of this country have EVERY right to know how and why such abuses happened in their names - in our country's name.

This contemptable and arrogant refusal on the part of AG Ashcroft to provide the memos in question therefore should NOT stand.

Best Regards,

[Kanary]

17. Great letter, Triana!!

This MUST NOT stand.

:kick:

[anarchy1999]

22. Okay, I can only last another hour........

Anyone here ready to take over and keep it up? We all need to call or reps, or senators and all the media in the area in which we live or just take off and call them all!!

Yesterday, when I called each Senator's office, the staff were very appreciative and excited. We need to take our country back and we can only do that with our voices.


JUST KEEP REPEATING>>>>>>>>>>

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS! That is Contempt of the Constitution and contempt for the citizens of the US. That is impeachable.

[anarchy1999]

27. Last kick for me tonight. Please everyone, make calls in the morning.

If we do what we all did over the FCC hearings we can have Ashcroft gone by Friday. Anyone want to start a pool? (just kidding, no gambling, too much Sopranos.....). Note to self, kill the TV.

30. Please keep this kicked

:) I like it...... would make a good name for an action newsletter. :hi:

I'm about to start calling friends, etc., I wasn't able to reach last night, fill them in on details (as not everyone is watching C-SPAN) all the time.. hehehe), then call some more congressional offices. Danged good thing my phone bill is paid up. :)

Kanary

[anarchy1999]

37. No kidding on the phone bill. $500. last month........

Way too many calls yesterday, but I'm not stopping! BeHereNow is in town and I'm trying to contact to have a toast to DU with. Thanks Kanary for all you did yesterday. How did your calls go? My calls to Senator's staff were very positive, even Hatch's office was appreciative, what's up with that?

[Kanary]

44. That's why I keep the 800# handy!

I barely have enough to live on, so I can't afford to rack up a phone bill!

I can't believe you even called Hatch! Hurrah for your team!

I haven't even gotten to the phone yet...... I had to go pick up the video of the hearing yesterday that a friend taped for me. Can't wait to see it now!

But, first things first...... the phone is glaring at me.... :)

I just let my senators know how I felt about this. Thanks for moving this on.

40. Kicking...just contacted my senators...on to the House now (ugh, Repugs)

:kick:

[anarchy1999]

41. How did it go?

I think if we start posting responses and the responses we are getting it will help and encourage us all to keep on making the calls. Yesterday and today have been positive, everyone I've talked with are tired of all Ronnie, all the time, 24/7. Is there anything else happening in this world? Oh yeah, the G8, and then there is always Iraq, anyone hearing anything from the Mid-East? What about Israel? What are they doing today. Another excursion into Gaza, maybe Rafah? What the heck?

And back to CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS delivered by Ashcroft. I want to see Ashcroft have to resign. There is nothing else left for him to do.

[Kanary]

46. Update: Addition to calls

My friend who taped the hearing for me, also put on the tape Amy Goodman's response. She is asking that we all start requesting a special prosecuter for this whole mess, so I'm adding that to my phone calls.

I'll tell you more when I can see her tape.

[anarchy1999]

42. Okay, anyone tired of the continuing memorial, need a break, go make some

calls........

we can all start back in first thing Monday morning, the 14th. Share all the links with like minded friends and family and then let us show all our CongressCritters we didn't forget through the fog of non-stop eulogizing.

I agree with Amy Goodman, we need a special prosecutor. How many Senators told him he was ignoring the Constitution and in Contempt, at least 3, maybe 4 or were there more?

[Kanary]

55. I'm recruiting many here for calling on Monday

The poor receptionists might wish they hadn't gone to work. :)

Did you get my PM?

Kanary

[anarchy1999]

57. Yes, sorry I have not yet responded. I've been thinking about it alot.

We are having a meet up on Saturday, plan to talk with others there about the concept. I am very serious about this contempt of congress and disregard for the Constitution. I am not letting up on this one. Did you hear Sibel's hearing on Monday has been postphoned? Why?

Every Senator in that hearing said it and knew it, Ashcroft was in contempt of Congress and was violating our Constitution. The Republicans have not a leg to stand on. Ashcroft has to go. The Attorney General of the US violating the Constitution. What more do they need or want?

[proud patriot]

56. YEAH

I plan to be relentless... I hope many of my fellow DU'ers are planning the same and enlisting volunteers who might not be DU'ers. There is lots of contact info on this thread and a couple of others. This can't be allowed and the voices of the people have to be heard this time. Even the Republicans cannot argue violating the Constitution or Contempt of Congress.

[Dover]

64. If Bushco doesn't follow the laws, what if any mechanism is there to MAKE

them do anything? Perhaps that is the key. They've figured out that there really isn't much anyone can or will do about it.

That's what they learned from Watergate.

[anarchy1999]

66. Well now that is the positive attitude I've been looking for.

I would suggest going to www.grannyd.com for inspiration, are you already giving up, are you really ready to? Okay, then say so and go....... Give it up, there is nothing for anyone to do....... they win, they already won, why bother, right? Why are you here? Why bother?

[Dover]

67. It was a question, not a verdict.

I really want to know what mechanism (outside voluntary adherence to the law) is in place to force them to comply?

This is the question that was posed in PBS's Watergate program in reference to the Nixon tapes. What if he hadn't turned them over?

Please no cheerleading...

[anarchy1999]

68. Actually, I'm sorry, it is in our Declaration of Independence.....

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

74. I just called

Biden, Durbin and Hatch for starters. I asked Hatch's aide when Hatch was going to step up to the plate and stop being a part of this fascist takeover of OUR country. I said that it appears that HE is one of the unpatriotic ones, along with many other congress critters, that are allowing our Constitution to be mangled.

Gave Mr. Biden a "thumbs-up". I asked the aide where this issue currently stands and, of course, "I don't know. I really don't know".

I got an answering machine at Durbin's office.

The operators are sounding a bit harried this morning...hopefully it is because the phone lines are flooded with our calls.

Keep fighting the good fight, DUer's...:yourock:

77. Don't let up and yes they are harried. GO... call them all again and

ask when are they going to do something and then call your local media, it is tough to do but a worthwhile endeavor. Thank you Jenn!
