“No More Money, No More Troops” – Call Congress Today

[Jeanette in FL]

Let’s keep up the momentum from this weekend’s protests. Here is something that everyone can do. Call Congress today, January 29, 2007. Below you can find your representative. Tell them to support and co-sponsor H.R. 508. Phone calls and faxes are the best way to communicate with them. Emails are great, but they usually only tally them; for, against or no opinion. Give them something tangible to go to the floor with. Congress members love to bring a stack of papers with them to the floor to demonstrate how many people support or oppose a bill.

It was wonderful to meet all of you DU’ers this weekend. What a blast.

So please take a few minutes of your day, to call congress, especially if they are on the other side of the aisle. Then post their responses to your call. Thank you all.

1. 1-800-SOB-U-SOB is one of the Capital switchboard numbers.

Somebody at the phone company gets 'it.'

4. I don't think that number works anymore.

Last year they stopped the toll-free numbers. If I find one I will post it.

2. Senator David Vitter is SUPPORTING

President Bush and his "surge," in spite of the fact 70% of the people want this war to end! So much for speaking "for the people." A Senator to be proud of!!! :sarcasm: :woohoo: It makes a constituent proud... :cry:
