CALL YOUR SENATORS TOMORROW
They are the ones that need to hear it. Give em an earful. The droll, money lined pocket, crooks need to hear from you! They are so purposely tone deaf, I just can't stand it any more.

Believe you me the House Dems already got the message loud and clear. They will not risk their careers for a POS healthcare bill and corporate welfare.

Liberals, if you want to push your weight around, now is the time! This is not to hurt them but to pull their ass out of the fire and to possibly get some of the things we want.

Get to it!

Tomorrow of course!

2. Maybe if I tell them it's Goldman Sachs calling -
they'll actually listen.

Otherwise, what's the point?

5. Well maybe, but I think it's best to hold them accountable. If you don't let them know
you give them reason to move further right.

3. "Now is the time"...?????
No, before yesterday was the time. The time has now passed. Starting anew would mean not only assuaging Traitor Joe, but also finding one Republican willing to break ranks and vote for cloture. Even if that's possible (and I'm pretty sure it isn't), the end result would be a bill that was much worse than the one we have now.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's the truth.

4. I've been calling and hootin and hollerin for about year now.
Starting with Gays under the bus, to women, to war, to bail outs, to corporate welfare and healthcare.

The house dems will not fall on their sword for this bill.

They spent the month of August out in the wilderness, all alone, they will not risk their careers for Obama.

8. The good Senators are out to dinner on a Carte Blanch card...
a credit card that you and I pay for. They could CARE LESS what you or I want.

Unless your name is Lloyd Blankfien or Jamie Dimon.. they could give 2 shits...

9. I will call AGAIN, I mean me and the staff are on a first name basis
