3. done!

thanks

[calimary]

4. Also - www.congress.org - go to the directory page.

It has the local and Washington phone numbers of every Senator and Congressmember on the Hill. The local numbers worked better today because DC was shut down by the hurricane.

I called my Senators - Boxer and Feinstein, AND my Congressman (Waxman) and told them to stand firmly behind him, because what he said was correct.

By the way, I hate even using the WORD "right" anymore. It's become so - uh - what should I call it - DEFECATIONAL!

SO THERE!

Dear Senator Kennedy,

Thank you for publicly stating what most smart Americans have known all along: that the invasion of Iraq was a fraud that benefitted the political aspirations of a corrupt administration. They have destroyed a country, alienated our allies and taken thousands of innocent lives based on forged uranium evidence and a British grad school dossier. All this for a few lucrative no-bid contracts for Cheney's cronies at Halliburton.

Since 'Mission Accomplished, there have been hundreds of soldiers killed and thousands wounded in Iraq. Please also point out that this corrupt administration is cutting funding for Veterans' benefits and services at the same time sacrificing our sons and daughters.

Please keep speaking out so the American people can be informed and vote against this treasonous administration in 2004!

Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXX

8. my email to Ted - yes, I know I just posted, but...

This is what I just sent. I plan to follow up on Monday morning with a phone call. The website lists his phone numbers:
BOSTON: (617) 565 - 3170
WASHINGTON: (202) 224 - 4543

Anyway, here's what I sent him -

BLESS YOU, MR. SENATOR!!!!!

BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!

Dear Senator Kennedy,

It's ABOUT TIME somebody showed the spine you've displayed, in telling the AP that the Iraq war was a FRAUD - YES!!!!! IT WAS AND IS!!! FRAUD is an excellent word choice. Almost as good as LIE. THANK YOU for telling the truth. And thank you for hitting back at that Neanderthal bully, Tom DeLay, and not letting him get the better of you! Our money's being wasted over there! Even more critically - our children's lives are being wasted over there!

THANK YOU FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS! Now go and DO MORE THAN THAT!

Respectfully and gratefully yours,

calimary

10. Thanks, Mari! That felt really good writing to the Senator!

I wouldn't have done it on my own..thanks for the link and the suggestion! :-)

My e-mail to Senator Kennedy..

"Thank you, Senator Kennedy for telling it like it is! I was so thankful that you voted against the Iraqi Resolution and am very grateful that you are continuing to speak out against the worst our Country has to offer.

These people who would send our Soldiers to die for their own personal gain ...not only don't deserve to remain in office, they should be indicted and sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

Keep up the Good Work! We are counting on you and others like you who recognize just exactly who has seized our Government!"

Sincerely, xooxoxoxoxoxox

11. Done - he is a hero! Now if only Kerry would say the same!

[FauxNewsBlues]

13. Sent mine in too

Thank you so much Ted Kennedy. I hate living in a country where we begin to fear speaking truth to power. You rock.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. done...made this suggestion in PS

The USA should take half of the $87 billion Bush* is requesting for his quagmire, earmark it for Iraq, hand it to the UN and say "we are pulling out because we understand that the provocative presence of US troops is doing no one -- particularly the Iraqi people and US troops -- any good." Such a sane move would immediately dampen the radical Islamic case.


$43.5 billion would go a lot further towards rebuilding Iraq than the $87 billion that would mostly end up in Halliburton's vault.

21. thanks for the link

although I know how to find the e-mail address of senators, links included in a message just make it easier.

By the way, does anyone have any knowledge about whether e-mails to senators not in your state, are even "counted"? Has anyone ever worked in a senator's office and can tell us what effect e-mails have?
