Reid's office said "Call your Senators". .

[annabanana]

He is no longer ruling out a filibuster!!

[ClassWarrior]

1. On what? Torture?

Cool. I will call today.

NGU.

[annabanana]

6. Yes.. on the "Torture Bill"

It's named and framed!!

[ClassWarrior]

12. Sponsored by the Torture Party.

:thumbsup:

NGU.

[rox63]

2. I know exactly how my Senators will vote

I've got two of the good guys, Kennedy and Kerry. They both despise torture and love our constitution, and they will vote against this POS.

[jackster]

7. it's good to have the Kboys looking after us

here in MA and the rest of the country.

[angstlessk]

3. My senators are Allen and Warner...a complete waste of time!

of course next year it will be Webb and Warner and I will contact him often!

[ClassWarrior]

5. It's NEVER a waste of time. You think the knuckle-draggers are...

...ignoring our Progressive Senators?? Your Senators are YOUR reps. At least make them listen to you.

Never Give Up.

[originalpckelly]

8. And if I remember, Senator Warner was originally against it...

before he was for it ;-)

[Virginia Dare]

15. Yes, with Felix Allen it is a 100% complete waste of time...

trust us on that one.

With Warner, it's 75-25 a waste of time.

[ClassWarrior]

20. Wrong. It's NEVER a waste of time to speak truth to power.

Even corrupt, psychologically-dysfunctional power.

NGU.

[angstlessk]

39. You are correct, if I cannot persuade them, I can at least harass them..

thanks for the input. I will phone them both!

[Clark2008]

35. With Allen, yes, but Warner is one of the handful of few reasonable

Republican senators - try him.

Now, I have Frist and Alexander: two worthless POSes. Frist never does a thing without checking with the WH first and Alexander basically just follows whatever Frist does.

[Jo March]

49. Hey, I called Dole and Burr (both pubs)

They are both "undecided", dontchaknow. :eyes:

Still, I called and expressed my beliefs.

I told Burr's office that the churches will not stand for candidates who are pro-torture.

Call them regardless of what party they follow. Call them. Make them hear you.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Done.

[bdamomma]

9. I will call mine Chafee and Reed from RI

they can't go for this shit

[ms liberty]

10. I called mine about 30 minutes ago...

It probably won't do any good - my Senators are Dole and Burr. But I did call them!

[annabanana]

11. Like nana used to say...

"It couldn't hurt"...:shrug:

[Atman]

13. Call Joe Lieberman? That would be torture!

I have enough of his form letters already, thank you.

[ClassWarrior]

17. C'mon, taking a call from you HAS to be more torturous for him...

...than you. :evilgrin:

NGU.

[Atman]

22. I like to think so!

:rofl:

[femmedem]

30. I forced myself to call Lieberman.

Warning: you have to listen to his fakey jovial voice go on and on before you get to speak to anyone.

But do it. We all have to make sacrifices.

[annabanana]

32. way to go!!

Whiney Joe should have a good understanding of why he's WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

[Avalux]

14. Cornyn and Hutchinson?? ROFL!

:rofl:

(sad, isn't it?)

[ClassWarrior]

18. They're the ones who NEED to hear it.

Slip in the phrase "Torture Party" while you're at it.

NGU.

[Avalux]

19. OK - I can do that. Need to vent some frustration today anyway.

:D

[ClassWarrior]

21. You rock, sparo!

:yourock:

NGU.

[dogday]

23. Me too, they can't wait to get off the phone with me

I can feel it in their voices and attitudes. I will make the calls, heck I think they know me by name now... :rofl:

[madame defarge]

16. List of senators & email addresses

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

See here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2242242 for something you can cut & paste & email (opinion piece from NYTimes; highly recommended)

[WinkyDink]

24. Just called Santorum. Told the message-taker: Here's the definition

of torture: Anything the good senator would not want done to any of his myriad children. Did he swear to uphold the Constitution or to uphold the Bush Dynasty?

Specter's line is busy, busy, busy.

[necso]

25. Good advice.

Call them.

[helderheid]

26. Think Hatch will listen to me? edit: recommended

[Armstead]

27. K&R

[Marr]

28. I'm calling mine. This is god damned ridiculous.

If they let this corrupt Republican party ditch Habeas Corpus, the central right of our system of law, simply to protect their party's power and the giggling fool of a frat boy sitting at it's head, they'll lose my support.

[Armstead]

29. I called his Nevada office and left a message

[mom cat]

31. Get on it TEAM! We have to do this!

[Fovea]

33. I have already called Sam Brownback

and you can guess what I called him.

[hootinholler]

34. Talked to a wholly disinterested staffer answering Mikulski's phone.

I'll pass it along.

They do not realize the import of this. They do not realize how outraged I am. They seem not to care.

-Hoot

Edit to say Sarbanes' staff wasn't much better.

[William Bloode]

36. Calling mine won't do any good.

I have Libby Dole the Viagra queen. I will call, and write none the less. Same for my congressional rep, i have Cass Ballenger full blown Bush whore, but i will call and write again today.

[TahitiNut]

37. I've made my calls, voice shaking in rage, and left my name as well.

I've demanded that, lacking a successful filibuster, they deny "unanimous consent."

I can't express the rage I feel. As a Viet Nam Veteran, the Geneva Conventions were never ambiguous or 'subject to interpretation'!

It's an abomination! We're condoning the treatment of human beings in ways that would be called spousal abuse if a man did it to his wife! It'd be called child abuse if done to a child! It'd be called animal cruelty if done to a pet, for Christ's sake!!

Without Judicial Review.

Without habeas corpus.

The Geneva Conventions subject to the 'interpretation' of a pResident who can't 'interpret' "The Pet Goat" for God's sake!!

It's fucking appalling!!

[KansDem]

38. Uh, yeah...sure. Sens. Brownback and Roberts

That'll do a helluva lot of good. Brownback is eyeing the White House by running to the right of GW Bush, and Roberts is the one who is stonewalling the release of Part II of the 9/11 Commission report...

Yeah, calling them will do the the trick :eyes:

[Armstead]

40. Kick

[jasmeel]

41. called Kohl and got right through. His rep said he'd pass the info

onto Kohl.

I called Feingold and his rep said Feingold strongly opposes both the wiretapping and torture bills!! I told him I figured-I just wanted to be reassured.

[ClassWarrior]

42. Russ is a blessing, isn't he?

I called Herb too. Let's hope enough of us do...

NGU.

[Coexist]

43. Nelson's (FL) office said that the Habeus Corpus amendment to it

was voted down on the floor, so he doesn't know what he is going to do.

FLORIDIANS - PLEASE CALL!!! I got through on EVERY LINE. No one is calling them. PLEASE!!!

44. Jeff Session

& Richard Shelby. Ha! They're practically foaming at the mouth for this to pass...but I did contact them nonetheless, as well as Sen. Reid.

[roamer65]

45. I called Reid's office

and they are taking count, folks.

[Lugnut]

46. I'm stuck with Specter and Santorum

A lot of good a phone call would do. :(

[ClassWarrior]

50. It'd make them and their aides uncomfortable. Isn't that worth...

...two minutes of your time? :evilgrin:

NGU.

[watercolors]

47. Cannot get thru to Bill Nelson's office

I've had a busy signal all day, I'll keep trying! I've e-mailed also.

[watercolors]

48. Finally got thru tp Nelson of Fl

They have been busy , young man I spoke to sounded tired, he was very pleasant and answered all my questions. He is sure Bill will vote against the bill. I said I hope so and thanked him.

[patrioticliberal]

51. What a fucking liar
