I just called my Senator and told her I expect her to back Russ

[EFerrari]

Have you called yours?

Make it happen.

[babylonsister]

1. Not fair. Boxer or Feinstein vs. Cornyn or KBH?

Guess what kind of reception I'd get?:-(

[EFerrari]

6. Call them ANYWAY. Let them feel a little pressure.

It's not about immediate results but about weighing in.

Believe me, Feinstein's office is no picnic to call.

[ClassWarrior]

7. They're still your Reps. They, at the VERY least, have to listen to you.

So give 'em an earful!!

:evilgrin:

NGU.

[dogday]

14. I did it and Culbertson too!

I know they just yeah and thank you like they really care.. One office asks for my zip code, the other doesn't even care.....

[melissinha]

37. I'm sorry but babylonsister is right

I've called them, its a waste of my money.... All I get back for letters is standard BS, I'm a patriot and the republican way is best.. nto standard letter for Texas democrats...


Cronyyn and KBH are so far up Bush's behind they can't hear clear dissent in their state.

[babylonsister]

44. It is discouraging. When I've called in the past, I 'might' get a

form letter from KBH's office referencing something I didn't even call about.
As for Cornyn, the only response I've ever had from him was a written plea for money. :eyes:

[melissinha]

66. I never get response from Cornyn either

KBH responds 3 months later every time.

I know I know we should call.... at least if it is to tie up their phones..... Its just so discouraging.... They are so part of the sleaze machine....

[ClassWarrior]

47. Is it the right thing to do? Then why are you hesitating??

Resistance is NEVER futile.

NGU.

[htuttle]

2. Russ is my Senator!

:D

[EFerrari]

22. Well, damn! I've been trying to call his DC office but it's busy.

I hope we get through to tell him, he did us proud today. :hi:

[jane_pippin]

28. We should call Herb though.

Not that it will likely do anything, but we should call him anyway. Who knows, maybe he'll go for it.

[htuttle]

32. Just left a message at Herb's Madison office

They took my name and city, and thanked me for calling.

[jane_pippin]

35. Cool. I emailed them both last night and I'll call Herb in the morning.

Probably call to thank Russ again then too. (I'd do it now but I have to get to work and I'm already running late.)

[JohnnyCougar]

38. I called Herb's DC office today.

He is "undecided" right now, and I'm sure he needs some help deciding. :)

[cry baby]

3. Yes, I called Mr. Frist and Mr. Alexander. They do not support

the censure - what a damn surprise!

[Merlot]

8. So what if they don't support the censure?

I say call them anyhow. Let them know that we hold them accountable. And if their phone is ringing off the hook all day with people who disagree with them, well that's just to bad now isn't it?

ps my senators are Boxer and Feinstein - yay!

[rodeodance]

18. you bet, call them over and over

[cry baby]

54. I did call on this issue, as well as many others.

These 2 haven't represented me or my views yet!!! Their staffs have still been respectful of my calls - I guess that surprises me a little. I promise, I won't give up!

[EFerrari]

10. Thank you. It's hard to keep calling these @ssholes

and it matters that you do.

[ClassWarrior]

11. So you weren't surprised by THEIR position... but maybe...

...just maybe they were surprised by YOURS.

Remember: Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

:evilgrin:

NGU.

[cry baby]

55. I will continue to "afflict"!!

:evilgrin:

[ClassWarrior]

4. I called one of mine.

The other IS Russ. :D

NGU.

[EFerrari]

9. Lucky dog.

:)

[ClassWarrior]

15. I know.

B-)

Tho Barbara's right up there with him.

NGU.

[htuttle]

12. What did Herb's office say?

I tried to get through a little while ago, but got a busy signal. I'm going to try again.

[ClassWarrior]

16. "The Senator hasn't issued a statement yet..." *beep!*

:grr:

NGU.

[rodeodance]

21. call Russ also. He needs to know you support him.

[ClassWarrior]

23. Actually, I did call Russ' local office too.

But thanks for the suggestion. We must leave no stone unturned.

NGU.

[Ladyhawk]

Ask him to support himself. :) n/t

[EFerrari]

34. Lol! That would be a start.

:)

[ClassWarrior]

43. Can't you go blind that way?

B-)

NGU.

[yy4me]

5. Called from work today, I had to leave the house early.

This chance can not pass without our attention. Almost 85,000 of us makes for great support. Come on DU, man those phones. E-mail may be too viewed too late.

[EFerrari]

13. Great! WE need to back Russ by making these calls.

And we will. :)

[rodeodance]

17. we all need to call all Senators over and over--light em up!

[EFerrari]

19. Like a Christmas tree. Light 'em up!

:kick:

[ClassWarrior]

20. Hey, let's see how quickly we can get this thread up past 20...

...recommendations.

NGU.

[flpoljunkie]

25. Link to Feingold's citizen petition to co-sponor his censure resolution.

http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/page/petition/censure0306

[EFerrari]

26. I couldn't get through to Dianne's SF or DC office. Finnally got L.A.

And I said, I expect you to back Russ Feingold because his timing is perfect and his argument is clear. No one is above the law.

:kick:

[OffWithTheirHeads]

57. Got through to war profiteer Di Fi

But couldn't get through to Boxer. I tried redial for over an hour. I hope her phones are swamped with this! I will try again tomorrow.

[B Calm]

24. Last week the republicans are trying to distance themselves from Bush

now we'll see how serious they truly are!!

[spuddonna]

27. Just got off phone with Cantwell and Murray's offices in DC...

I told them I'd just watched Feingold's speech, was wondering if they'd come out with a position yet. No position yet from either, but I asked them to pass along my support. Told them "He should be impeached, let alone censured!"

First time I heard from Cantwell's office that they could 'see' I was calling from WA state. lol! I wonder if they all have called id now, since the Alito vote? :D

[EFerrari]

29. Thanks for making the call. It adds up.

:toast:

[spuddonna]

30. And it only takes a minute! Two calls, less than two minutes! n/t

[Not Me]

31. I emailed both my FL senators...

I am not expecting much spine out of either of them.

[EFerrari]

33. It starts with us. First we have to speak up and demand

that they represent us.

I hope Russ is catching some of this support. :)

[spuddonna]

36. BTW:Tried to call Feingold's office, let him know I called my senators...

... but the phone was busy! :)

Gonna send him an email saying "Thank you!"

[EFerrari]

41. I can't get through either. Hope that's a good sign.

:)

[ThomWV]

39. Yes - I Called Both Of Them

Byrd
Rockefeller

[spuddonna]

40. Did they say if they had a position yet? n/t

[Generic Other]

42. Called Murray and Cantwell

Been making a pest of myself with Cantwell. She's so timid about being a Democrat. I'm surprised she lets them put a (D) next to her name at all. I keep reminding her that she's got some opposition on the right and on the left. She should care! Washington state political races will be tight if the last few are any indication. Cantwell won by 1000 votes on a re-count. Our governor by less.

[understandinglife]

45. Same here. Murray on C-span2 now. What is she saying? I've lost ...

... my audio conneciton....

Peace.

[EFerrari]

46. Thanks for calling! You know, my doll is still on

the biggest lamp in our livingroom. She gives me juice every time I look at her.

:)

[EFerrari]

48. kick and please call.

This is how we get things done.

:kick:

[dmr]

49. Called & written both of mine, then

called Sen. Feingold's office offering my support, then, I called mine again, but at their local offices, since the first calls to them were in DC.

Then, I called Sen. Reid's office asking him to support Feingold.

Then, I called Sen. Frist's office telling him as the majority leader he had a moral obligation to the American people, not to George Bush* to uphold and protect all civil liberties protected under the US Constitution.

[EFerrari]

52. Wow. I still haven't been able to force myself to call Frist.

But, you've given me a good handle.

I'll just have to ring up the CatKiller and fill his accomplices' ear.

:toast:

[dalloway]

50. yep. Called Lautenberg and Menendez both.

[EFerrari]

51. Thank you.

:kick:

[ourbluenation]

53. emailed both our gals a moment ago sfpat...glad to live in Cali! eom

[Clark2008]

56. Calling my senators would be a waste of time.

I have Bill Frist and Lamar Alexanders. :puke:

Anytime I email them blasting their positions, then I have to spend another two months trying to get off their hate-filled, anti-working class mailing lists. Double :puke:

[EFerrari]

63. Frist looked ill today. He didn't manage the thing well at all.

I hope you're shod of him in the near future.

[SeattleGirl]

58. I am going after mine: Murray and Cantwell

Murray would probably get behind Feingold, but Cantwell is nothing but a true DINO. There are a number of us in Washington State that want her out. She voted FOR the war, she voted FOR the renewal of the Patriot Act.

:grr:

Anyway, I am going to keep after them about this censure thing, and getting behind Feingold on it!

[Rainscents]

59. I did!

[EFerrari]

62. Good! Thank you.

:)

[blue neen]

60. Specter and Santorum?

I so ashamed that those two represent my state. :puke:

[EFerrari]

61. Whatever you can do with those two should count double.

Hang in there. :)

[EFerrari]

64. Kick

[ClassWarrior]

65. Ask your Senators this...
