Have you called on your senators today to defend America by protecting Social Security???

[patrice]

Harming Social Security would be a threat to whatever it is that unites this nation into something called America.

Please call today:

1. No - and see my screen name for why.

I'll save my breath on this one, sorry.

[patrice]

2. I suggest that you never collect anything from it then and, as a "Southern" state, perhaps

you should just be sending all of those net Federal dollars you are receiving back to D.C.

Now, THAT would be freedom.

4. Save the fucking snark. My representative and Senators are not worth the effort. n/t

[patrice]

13. I'm sorry!! Neither are mine! But all that does to me is make me that much more committed to

making them fucking miserable, in a nice polite way.

P.S. I live in ChurchCo-Kansas, so I DO really share your pain!!!

5. I would think even Repubs will have to back off on this once their constituency flips out

Who knows though...

3. Here's the #: 1-800-998-0180

[Mimosa]

6. 1-800-998-0180 : Thank you, jtown1123. n/t

[ladjf]

7. I would if I had a Senator who wasn't a crook. nt

[Hannah Bell]

11. doesn't matter. call anyway.

[dkf]

8. Social security defends America?

Is this now a defense program?

[jtown1123]

10. It's definitely one of our last lifelines. I think it's the thought that counts.

[patrice]

14. Rather selective semantic reference there, dkf. What do you think when someone uses the word "black"

or any of the other practically infinite connotative references in our language?

[dkf]

18. Well framing is the type of thing the GOP excels at.

You notice unemployment is being sold as a fiscal stimulus because social justice isn't much of a selling point nowadays.

[patrice]

19. I thought that seemed a little obtuse for something coming from you. With all of

the "Christians" in this country, you'd think Social Justice would be at least an opportunity to embarrass the hell out of some of these holier-than-thou community leaders who are all over the place.

[dkf]

22. Are you kidding me?

You honestly think Christians as a whole are interested on social justice? That comes with being liberal and progressive, not with religion nowadays.

Pah I am so disillusioned on Christian leaders. Please don't get me started.

[patrice]

15. Though I will yield the point that the program should exist in its own Right and for no other reason

[Hannah Bell]

12. Tim Carpenter says the switchboard has been shut oown more than once!

Great job! :applause:

[Drale]

16. No but I saw Mark Kirk in downtown Chicago last week

and I told him he better stand for the citizens of the United States and not for corporations. He's not going to do it, hes a stereotypical Republican, but it might give him something to think about. (but I doubt it)

[patrice]

17. You're doing the right thing about that by telling everyone you can tell. Thanks!!!

[sinkingfeeling]

20. Called both of my Senators' offices. The 800 number worked like a champ!

[patrice]

21. Dandy, isn't it!! And I do so love asking the staff to read notes of my comments back to me and not

to just tally the call!!
