Just a little something that's not important, but...

[jenmito]

My e-mail was just read on Lou Dobbs!
I said the same thing I have written here about a week ago:

Jenny from New York says, "If, as Bush says, 'we have to be right 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to be right once,' why do we only inspect 5% of our cargo?"

(I had an e-mail read by Cafferty a while ago, too, which I shared with you guys).

Thanks for letting me share. :)

1. *APPLAUSE*

That's really not as easy as it looks - they get thousands of emails.

[jenmito]

8. Thanks, blm!

This was my first e-mail to Dobbs! :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

2. "not important" ??? oh yes it IS!!

congrats and :yourock:

[jenmito]

9. Aw, shucks...

Thanks, AZDem! :hi:

[rosesaylavee]

3. Great question. Wish

to hell someone would answer it.

[jenmito]

11. Thanks, rosesaylavee...

So do I. :hi:

[Kutjara]

4. Excellent! But you might want to edit your post...

...to say 'we have to be right 100%...' rather than 'the terrorists have to be right 100%', which is what I'm sure your Dobbs email said.

Nice Freudian slip, though. ;)

[jenmito]

7. Thanks for the correction. Yes, I said it the way you just wrote...

Thanks for pointing it out! :hi:

[Kutjara]

10. Strictly speaking, of course, both of your versions are correct...

...since BushCo. = terrorists.

[jenmito]

12. Good point...

:D

[Redstone]

5. No, it IS important. You wrote an excellent and succinct message, and

it got out to the whole country.

That's NOT insignificant.

Redstone

[jenmito]

13. Thanks, Redstone...

I wish the Dems. would ask it in a commercial or something! :hi:

[Redstone]

24. Wouldn't that be nice...if they only had the guts.

Redstone

[jenmito]

26. I don't even think it would be controversial...

It's just a fact and no way would they have to pull it for any reason...

[Redstone]

30. You'd think so, wouldn't you? I would.

Redstone

[jenmito]

34. Yup...

I would love someone to use it!

[sandnsea]

37. And she did it TWICE

That is quite significant!!

Congrats jenmito :toast:

That's something Mr. and Mrs. Average Amurikin can get their minds around. Good for you! :applause:

[jenmito]

28. Thanks, Oregonian!

I agree, which is why I was hoping there was someone who could turn it into an ad for the Dems.!

[Rowdyboy]

[karlrschneider]

[jenmito]

35. Thanks, karlschneider!

I'm sure there are things you have said/written that I wish I'D thought of! :D

[Booster]

32. Great email and one that's really hard to argue with.

:toast:

[jenmito]

36. Thanks, spenbax!

:hi:

[No Exit]

38. Go Jenny!! And the answer to your question is

Bush never got far enough in math to DO percentages and other real hard stuff like that!

[jenmito]

40. Thanks, No Exit...

That's funny you should say that! I was watching one of those 3-minute debates on MSNBC between a Repub. and Dem. "operative," and the Repub. said to the Dem., "YOU do the math..." when talking about numbers of seats they need to keep the House. And it struck me that Repubs. aren't very good with numbers. :)

41. Rock on "Jenny from New York"!!

Bravo!! :toast:

[jenmito]

43. Thanks, JNelson!

:hi:

[Blue Diadem]

42. Oh but it is important and you said it so well!

Excellent point!

[jenmito]

44. Thanks, OurVotesCount!

You and others like you inspire me to keep it up. :)

[Cameron27]

45. Congratulations!

Dobbs is on at 3pm here, so I'll be watching. Wonderful that it was broadcast on CNN.

It's great because you only used one sentence. The Dems can use it.....I wish you'd think about sending it to Dean.

Also a terrific bumper sticker!

WAY TO GO!!!

[jenmito]

46. Thanks, seasonedblue...

I'd LOVE to send it to Dean. I'd love to see it used in an ad on tv. A little long for a bumper sticker, I think, though.

Thanks again! :hi:

[Cameron27]

47. You're probably right about the bumper sticker

But you nailed it with one sentence and that's so difficult to do.

Keep writing. Boy do we need you!

[jenmito]

48. Thanks again...

I took your advice and e-mailed the Dem. party website. I'll try others, too. :hi:

[Cameron27]

49. Great! I hope he uses it....I think he will :-)

:thumbsup:

[jenmito]

50. I hope so, too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know WHO to contact. :)

[AtomicKitten]

51. You rendered a succinct, salient point.

Congratulations!!!

In celebration of your awesome email, here is a picture of a monkey riding a deer:

[jenmito]

52. Thanks, AtomicKitten...

I love that picture, too! :)
