We are not making enough noise. My report from calling Texas reps.
As usual for the last year anytime I call my Senators', Kay Bailey and John Cornyn the person answering phone listens, says thank you for calling and hangs up as I am asking a question. Nothing new here.

However, I called Ron Paul's office and Bernice Johnson's as well. They both were responsive but both offices told me they have not been getting very many calls about Fallujah.

Everyone please start making calls.

1. Maybe you could get a reporter to try what you did.
It would be interesting to read an article by someone who has been hung up on by the offices of several members of Congress.

Do you think it's a game to keep the "negative calls" count down?

3. Thanks, Skittles.
The recognition is appreciated. Been here awhile and without DU I would be stark raving mad. DU is the best community of concerned, well-informed and united activists I can find on the Internet.

DU is an invaluable resource to me.

8. don't we know it, anarchy
I've said it many times, the men in white coats would have taken me away by now were it not for the DU. I found the DU while desperately searching the internet for someone, ANYONE, who felt like I did - that a thieving band of assholes had stolen the presidency.

4. Kicking up.
We have to start a relentless campaign, or else they are going to wipe this town off the map.

Just think how you would feel if this was your town. Any suburb of any large city in this country. What would you do and how would you protect your family. If your family had been wiped out would you give up your gun or would you fight the "liberators" to the death?

6. Ya might wanna mention that you know that
COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT IS A WAR CRIME.

7. I did mention both to every office I called.
Very frustrating, these people work for us. It is unbelievable the responses. Thanks for calling, click. Sorry, don't know what to tell you....Thanks for calling. No, we aren't getting many calls, but thank you.

And yes I said criminal, and war crimes and violating the Geneva Conventions and loss of respect around the world. I also mentioned I would do everything within my power to see they were held accountable for allowing this to happen.

9. Fallujah, Palooja. BUSH IS TESTIFYING WITH CHENEY
and this is a LOVELY distraction to cover up the fact that he's NOT TESTIFYING UNDER OATH.

I repeat, BUSH IS NOT TESTIFYING UNDER OATH.

He's practicing his lies AS WE SPEAK.

Gosh, at the same time as this is going on, we have a major flareup in Fallujah.

Coinkydink?
