Impeachment is on the table......... and my answer to a call for money

[greenbriar]

my phone rings

ME
"hello"

them

"is Mrs. X home"

ME

"This is she"

them

"I am xxx calling from the congressional democrats"

ME

"IS IMPEACHMENT on the table?"

them

"what"

ME

"unless I see proof that impeachment is on the table, My wallet is closed"

them

"of course its on the table, but we have so many issues more important"

ME

"yea, like caging lists, nsa wiretapping, this war for oil, my gasoline prices being 4 bucks a gallon, my mom losing health benefits because she is now 78 and needs a nursing home, all the corruption that this bush administration has committed. I want to know if impeachment is on the table if not, my wallet is closed"

them

"now is not the time to give up, we may lose congress..."

ME
"hell you can't even keep lieberman in line"

them

"we have him "

ME

"yea, that is why you caved on the Iraq vote"


(by this time I am tired of dealing with them)

Me
"Look, until I see proof in the right wing media that IMPEACHMENT is on the table, don't call me"

I hang up

2. thank you...that happened just 30 minutes ago

kind of wish I had toyed with them longer


but I don't think I would have gotten anywhere



I should say, I had just gotten done listening to Randi today with Greg Palast

[Cha]

5. Thanks! If they hear that from enough

people and the money dries up..the Dems might wanna rethink their approach to the whole bush tyrant thing.

37. I won't give the Democrats anything until they repeal Medicare Part D and replace it.

Until the Democratic congress repeals Medicare Part D and replaces it with a real prescription drug benefit that does not cause middle class people to shell out a lot of money I won't give the Democrats a cent.

24. I just sent 'em a blank check

zero dollars and zero cents. They like blank checks, don't they??

I did add a few additional comments on the mailing (including references to impeachment), in case they didn't get the message from the check.

[WatchWhatISay]

35. i agree

and I can hardly wait till they call again

[LSparkle]

3. Thank you for the "talking points" for when I get those calls!

You handled that PERFECTLY!!!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. Good.

This will get back to folks. You are not the only one. It will be noticed.

[Sherman A1]

6. Excellent!

I heard on Lou Dobbs tonight as he talked with the political strategists at the end of the program that the Republican small donors have done pretty much the same thing and they canned their phone call people. Isn't this interesting that both parties might be getting the same treatment from their respective base supporters.

Makes ya kinda wonder.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. This is why I say this is perfect time for third party

and I think they know it too

[jgraz]

7. I sent Harry Reid a penny this week

Along with a his fundraising letter, heavily marked up with many choice comments.

[greenbriar]

8. oh thats good too

I will remember that

thanks

[eridani]

14. Should have been two pennies

Then you can label all your comments as "my two cents worth."

[tavalon]

16. Actually, though, Reid et al

made it clear that they don't feel our opinion is worth even two pennies so I think the one penny is just fine.

[greenbriar]

17. exactly N/T

.

[az chela]

10. Freaking awesome

GOOD FOR U

[pacalo]

11. Like Class Warrier, I'm going to copy & use, too! Thanks!

[speedoo]

12. Well done.

It's truly sad it's come to this, but they need to know we are pissed.

[EFerrari]

13. LOL!

:rofl:

[tavalon]

15. Sweet!

Thanks for the script. Printed out. Placed by phone. Ready now. Call me, Dems, fucking call me.

[Raksha]

18. Great! I'm printing it out too and hope I have an occasion to use it.

[greenbriar]

20. I hope you do too

I had just listened to Randi and Greg Palast and the whole caging list thing and was really mad when they called

[deacon]

19. kudos

[flyarm]

21. i was an elected delegate in 2004 and i get everything from the dems and everyone

collecting..i have painted a whole bunch of penny's red with nail polish..and i attach it to all the fund raising stuff i get in the mail..and i write real big in red magic marker.."not another red cent from me until you impeach!"

when they call ( almost everyday)..i say the same thing..not another red cent from me until you impeach!

i am so happy to see others are doing likewise!!

i really think the only way we will be listened to is by witholding $$$..money talks!!

thanks all who are speaking loud and clear with their checkbooks!!

[Senator]

22. I save my pennies and just write "IMPEACH" on the mailings

I can't do them all or I'd do little else.

So I just do the ones from those who spout nonsense about impeachment.

23. Bravo! Bravo!

25. K&R. (nt)

[radfringe]

26. that's what I tell'em

Show me impeachment and I'll show you the money

[Decruiter]

27. Sweet!

:bounce: :yourock:

[CrispyQ]

28. Very nice!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[lonestarnot]

29. "my wallet is closed"

tee hee... good.

[John Q. Citizen]

30. I tell them I'm giving my money to Kucinich. He gets impeachment, and he get my money

[mzmolly]

31. Well done.

:toast: Though I admit to having mixed feelings about this as a mass strategy. ;)

[skygazer]

32. Excellent answer

I keep getting emails from MoveOn to support the impeachment of Gonzales. Well hell, why not impeach the inept idiot who appointed Gonzales? Seems like a better approach to me.

I almost hope they call now that I have your script. Best possible answer. :yourock:

[greenbriar]

36. thanks

!

[autorank]

34. I agree. This is what we used to say about voter fraud...

...just about the same thing. Then a few weeks after that started, we found out that they had a scropt for people making that statement. My response was "click" and I gave directly to candidates in my state, which is what I should have done to begin with.

I'll remember this. Send 'em an email.

Keep it up!
