Drop them a line or call them to express how you feel.
Of course to do that, you have to quit complaining about Obama and get off DU for a second, and I just don't know if you can do that.

1. I called Boyd's office - they did not even know the vote had happened
So I guess I was the first one to call. What really infuriated me is that he supports continuing all the Bush tax cuts, including for the wealthiest Americans. So I let them know that if he is claiming that he voted against extending unemployment compensation because of worries about the deficit, he should also let the Bush tax cuts expire.

Damn, I am glad I did not vote for him in the primaries. I did vote for Boyd in the general election because it was between Boyd the Blue Dog or a tea bagger Republican.

9. Oh no, it was totally necessary
Just doing my DU service of providing those so inclined to use the worthless (IMO) "unrec" feature.
Just don't draw an "X" thru it with a permanent marker, it won't come off the screen.

10. I think the feature is very useful, you had a very good post,
I was ready to rec it until I read the last line where you turned around shit on it yourself. So I felt the un rec was appropriate.

8. K&R
My rep is not on this list, thank goodness.

Jane Harman does occasionally do something right.

12. I don't need to call or drop a line. Mine got ousted, which he fully
deserved for exactly this type of voting. At least starting in January when we get a BS Republican vote, we'll have a Repub to blame.
