Everyone here needs to at least call their own Senators about contesting the election. This is our first and probably last chance to take voting rights to the National level! We must fight for an Amendment for the right to vote. This shall be our legacy!
Who's got the 800# to the Capitol?!

it may feel like an effort in futility, but it is a necessary effort in futility. They need to feel the heat, if they don't hear from us, no heat. See?
BTW, your senators are my senators and I've gotten many a stupid form letter from Kay Bailey Hutchinson. I just keep stickin' a bee in her bonnet. It's my job.

I e-mailed them anyway. How else can they know the level of discontent out there concerning the 2004 election? Silence = Complicity.

2. Senators can be reached at 1-800-839-5276 |
|
The toll-free line sometimes gets overloaded, but it may not be too busy so near Christmas.

DeWine and Voinovich? I'm thinking that's a waste of breath.

5. Will Pitt says the 9/11 scene is of concern to our senators |
|
That our senators were influenced by that opening scene in the film and are afraid of a repeat. Let's appeal to them in that respect. Here some information to support calls and letters on these issues! Video of African American voter suppression and disenfranchisement: http://www.thefreespeechzone.net / Some diaries documenting the suppression: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/12/22/143719/67 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/12/15/12545/041 Some very strong words from one of our African American sisters: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/12/15/9734/4841 And some more strong words: http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2004/12/15/9734/4841/470#470

7. I wrote to Harkin though live in Texas |
|
As a former Iowan and former constituent of Harkin, I worte him cause of course Hutchison and Cornyn will not be a part of this.
I think DU's that have no Blue Senators should write other Senators especially Clinton... to help out those states and state specifically that because we are from Texas or other States with no Dem Senators because we have no recourse.....

9. How about Voting Green threat |
|
Wonder if our Senators would respond to threats of voting green to get their butts in the fire! Of course as a constituent of Red Senators I can't do this.

8. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS |
|
The calls have been working, and specifically been working on several Senators. I am not allowed to say which ones, for a variety of reasons, BUT IT IS WORKING.
Keep doing what you are doing.
