[Renew Deal]

3. It's pretty sweet.

It should be entertaining.

[mod mom]

2. these confirmatin hearing are causing me to have a messy house.

I love C Span!

[Gloria]

4. After the speeches, I want to see the VOTES against Rice!

That means Biden, Dodd, Sarbanes, Obama, etc etc, and all the rest who aren't on the comittee.....You too, Ms. Clinton.

16. I agree with your Gloria, as well as looking to see which Dems

confirm Gonzales when his turn comes up. They are both egregious choices for their positions, and both should be in prison.

[RaulVB]

5. HA, HA, HA...

Democratic Party of America...THE OPPOSITION PARTY!

[mirrera]

6. Confused, I thought hearings over?

I thought Rice was confirmed with Boxer and Kerry voting nay. Can you tell me whats up?

[ginnyinWI]

7. no that was only the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Now it goes to the floor of the Senate, and they hash it out! Rice won't be there.

[mirrera]

11. That is GREAT news!!

So there is still hope of a miracle? I assume we will be out voted, but maybe more Dems will vote their hearts?

[kitkat65]

12. Pardon my ignorance

Is it being debated because of the no votes or is this standard procedure?

Thanks

[ginnyinWI]

13. I think it's standard procedure.

a committee does its work, then reports to the body as a whole, who cast the final vote. Yeah it will go to Rice, but at least the Dems will have more time to shed some light on her mis-deeds.

I know Ted Kennedy is going to vote against her for sure, and maybe more.

[kitkat65]

17. Awesome that they're not going to just rubberstamp the whole thing.

[rumpel]

8. So, it's time write letters to your Senators, and let's not forget about

the torture advisor Gonzales, this could be worse than Ashcroft.

[Peace Patriot]

9. SAMPLE C. RICE LETTER ABOUT TO BE POSTED AT DU...

...hard hitting letter, supportive of Boxer. With EASY to use and find contact info., to Senators and media. Look for it!

We have a new project here at DU called...

LETTER OF THE WEEK--concentrate on one issue at a time, high priority items, Gonzales will be next, and keep our issues and talking points out there.

18. Repeat after me

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS


watch for who votes for rice and who votes against her

[babylonsister]

19. And Byrd and Boxer are supposed to get

this ball rolling next week w/one hour dedicated to each of them. I'm also glad they're not folding though I can't imagine anything will change.
