Senators' who betrayed the troops and us
Here is a list with their email links. They voted that hey, quess it is okay to torture . Forget about how it will affect American Troops for DECADES ! Sen. Pryor is also on some Military Committee. Sorry I can't remember the name of it right now . Or http://www.senate.gov

Senator Mark Pryor (Arkansas)http://www.pryor.senate.gov/email_webform.htm
Senator Joe Lieberman (Con.)http://www.lieberman.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm?regar... Senator Mary Landrieu (L) :http://www.landrieu.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm
Senator Ben Nelson (Nebraska) :http://www.bennelson.senate.gov/email.html

Senator Ken Salazar (Colorado)http://www.salazar.senate.gov/contactus.cfm

Senator Bill Nelson (Florida)http://www.billnelson.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm#emai...

Letter to my Senator
Senator Pryor,

Can you please explain to me why you voted to confirm Alberto Gonzales ? Why do you approve of a torture I am so serious ! I have written many times to you about this and understand the mail 9/11 thing but do not understand why you don't have a response with email like almost every other Senator or Represenative that I write to. Sir, you are a very busy man but it is timely for everyone.

Even Rep. John Boozman writes back everytime time I contact him. He is a Republican, even and everyone knows I am not.

My husband and I both would like to know why you voted to confirm Condoleezza Rice, after the way she answered or not answered questions and tryed to play victim to Senator Barbara Boxer.

We also want to know why you voted with the Republicans again on such a core Democratic issue as fighting against torture. All 6 Democratic Senators that voted for Gonzales should have voted with their party on principle. The Republicans accused the Democrats of racisum with Rice and Gonzales. How could you leave them hanging ?

What do you think about Senator Edward Kennedy's speech and the letter he released ?

How do you feel about the way some Republican Senator's attacked his dead brother Robert Kennedy ?

Do you know very much about blogs and bloggers, because they are very upset with your votes ? I am not telling you to be contary it is what I have read and feel.
WE want Democrats to stand up to the Bush Administration all of the time when it is apparent they are wrong.

When it is all said and done America just condoned the torture AGAIN !


The "Moral Values" that they are always talking about are not true values. The Gay hating, Muslim-bashing all of it needs to be stopped.
We can not put up with the complete destruction of the environment and cramming their religious view points down everyone esle's throat.

The Iraq War has to end,
we have lost over 1400 troops, over 10,000 wounded and many of them have lost a limb or
more.
Then to top it off over 100,000 dead Iraqi Civilians. I will write it again 100,000 !

I will be looking forward to your response to all my questions.


Usually, I would write a little more respectful. But he has not been responding worth a shit for quite awhile. Any of you want to write him ? By the way did I just hear Blanche Lincoln on Tweety's show ?

1. Betrayed basic human decency. "Let them see how we as a democracy
deal with the torture issue" Rummy thrown it to the world. They are seing it.

4. I am sure they will
especially Pryor. His voting has been messed up for awhile.
Sen. Bill Nelson is saying accounts as add ons but I do not trust them to touch Social Security with the Majority being Repugs.

3. Let's not forget the republicans
They have constituents, too. And it looks like they may even listen to them occasionally, judging from the Social Security articles. We need to express outrage to them when they do something wrong, as well.
