[proud patriot]

911 gets extension ...:bounce:

July 26th is the date now ..

DUers you kicked serious ass here ..

Thanks to everyone's letters and calls

Thank You !

just reported on CNN

I'll post link as available

[slinkerwink]

1. hahaha, great! I'm sure Aaron Brown's comments had a lot to do with it

[central scrutinizer]

2. hopefully everybody will see through the scam

of the good cop - bad cop routine that Bushco and Hastert were playing

[Forkboy]

4. yep

I'm very familiar with the routine,and this was a classic example.

[jbfam4]

3. Great news........thanks

They must have realized that the press meeting this morning went badly and it would really become a main news item. Maybe the press has finally gotten it together.......NO more free rides.

[seemslikeadream]

5. I'll have to make a confession now

I called C-SPAN this morning and got to tell Kean how angry I was with Hastert and for everyone one in northern Illinos to call and e-mail him. That if he stopped this extention I'd make sure he didn't keep that compfy seat of his!

[proud patriot]

8. Pat yourselves on the back

This is How we support 911 families and never forget .

[nostamj]

6. well, he obviously read MY letter

I called him a TRAITOR, but, very very nicely.

not a single cuss.

I didn't even spell his name: HasTURD.

now, this begs the question:

why is the WH setting up Hasturd for a fall?

remember what they did to Lott to install the reptilian Frist....???

[northofdenali]

19. Great minds think alike, nost -

:hi: My email to him was rather scathing as well -- and I was wondering the same thing. Why did he allow himself to be used like that?

[jburton]

21. My letter may have done it

Actually, probably not.

But I sent them to my Senators as well. I'm sure KKK Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn got right to work!

Or not.

[Stephanie]

28. That picture made me LOL!

That is the funniest thing ever! Stealing it!

[knight_of_the_star]

26. So was mine

I think he was impacted by all of ours, wouldn't you say? I just had fun asking him how he sleeps at night knowing that he had willingly and completely broken his oath as a member of Congress in very scathing terms without cussing.

[historian]

23. they have to shift attention elsewhere

Here's how they do it - slime bucket (bush) is accused of something - he immediately shifts that perception onto someone else then fires them. He did the right thing - how dare they give the impression his presidency is corrupt?

[ithacan]

7. Next: Pressure Bush to testify to whole committee for more than

one hour.

And publicly would be great...

[proud patriot]

9. and under oath

:D

[G_j]

18. that's what I am requesting

under oath,

otherwise we all know he'll just lie.

[Klapaucius]

27. Here's the problem with that....

You think that being under oath is going to stop him from lying? I certainly don't. I think that he'll gleefully lie under oath, if it makes him look relatively clean. Frankly, I don't think that there's any one of them that wouldn't lie under oath if it would get them out of trouble.

I would love to see him struck with truthfulness, like in 'Liar, Liar'.... wouldn't that be a hoot!

K.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Sounds good. Let's get on it.

[Ilsa]

10. I bet Bush weasles out of it.

That's what weasles do.

[salinen]

11. Nobody here understands!

The 9-11 investigation takes precious time away from the "BOOB" inquiry.

[cardlaw]

13. First time...

I had actually engaged a Congressperson on an issue was for this. I'm glad I did. I'll make sure to do it more often in the future!

[Stephanie]

29. Welcome to DU cardlaw!

Thanks for doing that!

[RBHam]

14. Kean and Hamilton must be exposed for the frauds they are...

Kean's business ties to the Saudis and Hamilton's role in limiting the Iran/Contra investigation have yet to be mentioned on CNN.

It sickened me to my core when I saw Mr. "Outraged" Brown softballing Hamilton last night.

If you can't see what's coming, I can. Like Dubya said, "It's like a re-run of a bad movie."

The establishment has decided that the BFEE has gone too far. They want Bush II gone. But like Bush I, the truth behind 9-11 wil be covered up for the sake of the office of the Presidency just as Iran Contra was, and I can imagine the sheer volume of pardons Junior will be forced to issue...

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

15. Bush MUST be held responsible for his 911 Intelligence Failure

and what a miserable failure it was

[Leilani]

16. It just goes to show what you can do to make a difference!

Those thousands of emails waiting for Hastert this AM, must have been a rude awakening.

The press was good on this, esp. Aaron Brown.

Keep up the noise; keep up the pressure. We can make a difference if there are enough of us!

[yellowcanine]

17. Hate to be the party pooper but it was a trial balloon, folks

This was a shrub plot to distract us. Now we ate supposed to marvel at how cooperative shrub is because not only did he agree to the extension but he persuaded Hastert to accept it also. Meanwhile, no one is talking about the fact that if the Shrub hadn't stonewalled the commission there would have been NO NEED for an extension. Also today the WH is saying he will only give the commission 1 hour.

[Zinfandel]

20. Thanks!

Sent a great email yesterday!

[beanball]

22. Power of the people

we collectively can make a difference.

[knight_of_the_star]

24. Woot woot woot!

Looks like we got through to the blockhead afterall!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

25. good news...thanks for posting
