1. Hi, Teaser. Ok -- Tuesday it is for the start date.

I'm still in and have the message ready right by the phone.

After this phone campaign, let's see if we can't drum up support for a more liberal Democrat to challenge Lieberman in the 06 primary.

7. Atrios suggests these questions:

Is it true that Lieberman:

a) Opposes diverting payroll taxes out of the Trust Fund and into private accounts, making the program less solvent
b) Opposes cuts in promised benefit

And, if a) and b) are true, ask him why he is currently "is undecided about the concept of using payroll taxes to fund private Social Security accounts." And, if a) and b) are not true, why is that in 2002 he said:

We understand Social Security's economic value and appreciate its moral value, and that we won't let it be diluted, dismantled or dissolved ... Simply put, Social Security privatization would take away the safety from the safety net, and turn the idea of a rainy day fund into a sink or swim proposition. If you don't choose wisely, you lose badly. And the government's response to bad luck would be to say, "tough luck."

10. I couldnt' get a straight answer. Anyone get an answer?

Seriously. It's annoying. They must program these staffers to not respond to direct questions.
