Today is a day to make phone calls and send FAXes, e-mails,

[DemBones DemBones]

and letters to your two U.S. Senators and to Republican Senators who are being pressured by Bill Frist and all his henchmen to vote for the bill ending filibusters. This bill must go down in flames and the filibuster must be preserved.

On C-SPAN's "Wahsington Journal" this morning, the first topic of discussion is the big evangelical Christian rally addressed by Frist yesterday on what was called "Justice Sunday," no doubt to imply that the poor GOP is getting no justuce since only 95% of Bush**'s judicial nominees are being confirmed. A telecast of this event was beamed out and shown in many churches across the country. Presumably, that is legal -- or Frist is counting on mercy from the "liberal activist judiciary" if he gets in trouble for it.

On the screen, they had a crawler urging people to call certain senators and demand that they vote for the filibusters be stopped. They included Alaska's LISA MURTOWI,
JOHN MCCAIN from Arizona, (not Repubs) and two dems, MARK PRYOR and BLANCH LINCOLN, botH Senators from Arkansas. I also heard mention of Richard Lugar.

So we all need to get busy today, calling and demanding that the filibuster be preserved as an important means of protecting the minority from the tyranny or the majority. Remind them all that when Democrats regain power, the Republicans would be very happy if they weren't allowed to filibister.

Kick some elephant butt! Make thioe calls!!!

TIP: I've heard it's especially effective to call you own Senators' LOCAL offices, as well as the NATIONAL one.

[cry baby]

5. We should add Joe biden to our list to contact

since yesterday he said that we should compromise and not filibuster 7 of the 10 judge nominees. I say NO COMPROMISE to Biden!

[Roland99]

6. Put pressure on Sen. McConnell (Sen. Whip), too! [phone]

He's the one who says they have enough votes.



I just called told them I wanted to express my disgust at Sen. McConnell's support of the "Just Us" Sunday event.

[EFerrari]

7. Keep this kicked!

[dorktv]

8. Well okay I will send a message to McCain.

Vile Kyl will not listen. Anyone who is that far up the President's...


Edited: I just send McCain an email telling him what I think.

[Avalux]

9. This is a venture in futility for me -

Hutchison and Cornyn. Sorry; nothing I can say will change their cold evil minds.

[calimary]

10. Doesn't matter. DO IT ANYWAY.

DO IT ANYWAY. They need to know that since your tax dollars fund their salaries and all those wonderful benefits and perks, they represent YOU, TOO. Check this thread if you have time...

Contact your US Representative - IMPEACH BUSH
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1739608


DO IT ANYWAY. For all you know, they may be getting more calls against their position than for it. BTW - thanks for listing their names. I'M going to call them, myself.

on edit - I just called them both. Said what I'm saying to ALL these people regardless of their party: I want the filibuster to remain in effect - because I want MY voice heard; I want a NO vote on john bolton; I want the tax-exempt status of these religiosos RE-EXAMINED, as long as they're trying to meddle in public policy. If I have to pay taxes when I lobby for something, SO SHOULD THEY.

[Avalux]

12. OK OK - I'll do it

Thanks for a very convincing argument. :hi:

[Avalux]

13. I called them

felt pretty damn good too. :patriot:

[Clark2008]

11. Won't do me any good.

My senator (:puke:) IS Bill :scared: Frist.

:puke:

[annabanana]

15. Oh you poor dear..

Imagine, having the anti-Christ for a Senator.

[RevCheesehead]

16. I'd call him anyways.

And while you're at it, give him a piece of your mind re: "Justice Sunday."

C'mon, girl, I know you have it in you! Snark away!!

(for you and Ramzey: :hug:)

[saltpoint]

14. Agreed & will do. -- n/t

[Roland99]

17. Even got my mom to call Sen. McConnell

She had called me asking what the hubbub about Justice Sunday was. I gave her the five-minute flyover version and she was rather upset at the whole thing (she's a devout Catholic.)

[InfoMinister]

18. They Mentioned All of This On the Religious Channels Over The Weekend

We need to work bigtime because shows like the 700 Club and others have manipulated their audience into believing that the Democrats are filibustering these Judges because they somehow hate Christianity. It appears that a lot of people fell for it. It's even being talked about on PBS right now about how the filibuster has become a religious issue.
