I Just Called The White House, My Senators & Congressman To Tell Them......
to not mess with SS or Medicare. If they want to solve the problem - they should eliminate the cap and make all Americans - even the rich - pay their full share and to not means test SS. I also said the Obama should get tough and use his position to not let the Repugs take advantage of us and that if he does - we have his back. I told them that I support the Bush tax loans be extended for the middle class - but to hold their ground and not extend them for the wealthy. And to throw in the kicker - I said that G.W.Bush should be prosecuted - as he is running around the country telling us how he approved 'torture' which is un-American and inhumane and that he should be prosecuted as a war criminal along with the rest of his evil cabal.

I urge each and every one of you out there to do the same and call your representatives in the House and Senate as well.

The White House phone lines were real busy and when I finally got through I was on hold for about 5 minutes before I had and operator to talk to. I think the D.C. phone lines are buzzing today from a lot of people just like me complaining about the Catfood Commission and their wanting to tamper with SS and Medicare.

Please keep the buzz up and call your representatives. It's time we put our foot down on this.

The WH telephone number is: 1-202-456-1111. Look up your Senator and Congresspersons number on the Internet and give them a call too.

Believe me you will feel good after you've done this.

1. just tried to call
and the line is busy busy busy busy.

I wonder why so many calls today? :dunce:

HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE!!!

This money belongs to We the People of the United States, not a bunch of rich ass pigs that want their tax breaks extended forever!

Another way to end this budget "crisis" is to end the god damned wars without end!

U.S. OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND ALL OTHER COUNTRIES WHICH WE HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING IN!

Do all of the above = problem solved!

Thanks for your post. I'll try calling again later!

:kick: & recommend!!

6. I just got through
and I told Pres. Obama's office to do the following for massive and yes, I do mean massive surpluses:

1. Let the tax breaks for the rich expire as they are set to do in January of 2011, and;
2. Close up the overseas military bases that are serving no practical purposes that I can see, and;
3. End the wars, end all of these wars NOW!

11. You called the WH...
I really hope you didn't say "Repugs" and "evil cabal". If you did, I fear your
call went into the loon bin. Other than that, great job!!!
