1. "Since you choose political expediency over protecting the Constitution...
...and what is best for the American people, you have lost my support for anything you do in the future, as I will have to assume it would also just be a hollow political gesture."

And some other choice words. Receptionist was quite polite. Poor girl. Probably not going to be a good day for her.

2. If you weren't any more specific in your phone call
than you were in your post, I expect the person taking your call was as confused as I am about your complaint.

5. Of course I was more specific
I told the receptionist exactly what I was calling about. I'm not a total lamer, y'know!

6. Thank you Atman. That was great what you said and Im sure
his aide will fully understand what you meant. It appears he is getting hammered with phone calls.

3. I think he pays more attention to letters, like this one:


Daschle got the message, too.

7. How true. What seems apparent is the reaction of silence instead of
outrage by acts such as this, and how, perhaps they instead of responding with necessary outrage and outcry they respond by yet more acts of silence and complicity.

I think it is outrage and fury that is now necessary by all of us as Democrats, moreover as Americans at large.

The abuse on our nation and our Constitutional rights is beyond unacceptable, but it won't change unless we speak up and speak loudly.

8. Just make sure that they don't have any white powder in them!
