Breaking News: Sen. Boxer Signs Challenge |
|
Not sure if this has already been posted or not.
But for anyone listening to Unfiltered on AAR, Sen. Barbara Boxer HAS signed the challenge.
They had Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH) on there today, and apparently Barbara Boxer sent her signatory back to Rep. Jones.
Thank you, Sen. Boxer, for showing courage and conviction.
The way Rep. Tubbs-Jones explains it, at 1:00 they will begin opening and counting the electoral votes by state, in alphabetical order. When they get to Ohio, Rep. Tubbs-Jones will object. Sen. Boxer will object. The joint session will go into recess so that the House and the Senate can go into 2 hours of debate, and then they reconvene.

I'm so very proud of her.
You know, it shouldn't be that hard in this country to do the right thing, but you wouldn't know that from looking at the Democratic Party of today.
I've very happy someone has the courage and conviction to speak truth to power.

Let's all show Sen. Boxer our gratitude by either calling or writing her with our thanks, so that she knows her efforts are not in vein.

12. She is a goddess and I am proud to call her my Senator. |
|
I hope she doesn't incur the rath of Rove. Watch your back Senator. We need you more than ever.

14. If only more Dem. senators were like her |
|
Mark Dayton (D-Minnesota) is on the Senate floor now (C-SPAN2), speaking out against the challenge and saying Congress has no business inserting itself into the election process. I fear too many Democrats will take the same position.
