5. Thanks

When I called my congresswoman Corrine Brown's office yesterday, they told me she had been on the phone since Monday trying to get answers and was stonewalled at every turn. Said that she had teamed up with other congresspeople and they were going to demand answers and get NO the help they need. Thank God for the Congressional Black Caucus, they are America's Soul.

6. Here is our leadership!!!!

Stick it to bush* and his miserable failure of an administration!

[soup]

7. MSNBC

Rep. Lewis
angry
Bush says the results of HIS agencies is not acceptable. I agree.
Money to go to FEMA - so far I have not been impressed -
Were already living in poverty - now depending on U.S. for their very survival
difference of those who lived and died - poverty, age, skin color
COMPASSIONATE conservatives? We want the COMPASSION.
Babies are dying - no formula
need private contractors with helicopters, boats
quoting Bible Matthew 25

[seabeyond]

9. and they go away. i would like to hear what they are saying. nt

[soup]

12. Yes. thank you for starting the thread.

CBC that Bush refused to meet with (remember that?) finally getting heard.

They are ANGRY. and rightfully so.

[soup]

14. These people are NOT refugees.

They are American citizens.
Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick Michigan

[Jeanette in FL]

8. CSPAN 1 now nt

[oasis]

10. Jesse Jackson Jr and Stephanie Tubbs Jones on C-SPAN

[me b zola]

13. "Where are those airlines that we bailed out?"

Jessie Jackson Jr.


:applause:

[soup]

15. Let's hope they have the power to get something done.

and get it done NOW.

[seabeyond]

19. they do, they will

[soup]

17. What? Walmart not accepting Salvation army vouchers??? n/t

[seabeyond]

18. this woman is beautiful oh i always so love

listening to black caucus. this always helps our white dems to. gives them the courage to speak out

[seabeyond]

20. we all love tubbs jones. why couldnt we get some cruise ships?

families, babaies. sr citizens, who pay over and over and over agains, sits in shame and squaller.

[seabeyond]

it aint about pointing the finger. what you didnt do yesterday, do today

freedom and justice right hee in u.s. and the ability to live, right here right now.

cry cry i love this woman

[soup]

24. Yes. n/t

[nonconformist]

21. As usual, the only politicians with BALLS

Where are the other dems? Time to mobilize, someone has to run this damn country.

[seabeyond]

23. can we not, just once not attack the dems, and as they speak out

support them. give them the power and courage to speak truth.

[seabeyond]

25. a whole group of dems speaking out and instead of cool, we get,

so what, what about the rest

[seabeyond]

27. rep diane watson, calif.... she is good too. she is so tying in

iraq. our money where to be used. iraq gets our tax money. two presidents asked to get money from the people.

[seabeyond]

29. hte chaos, comes from desperate people n/t

[nonconformist]

26. I'll criticize anyone who isn't doing their duty

Letter used behind their name means nothing to me right now.

[seabeyond]

30. ya ya ya yaya. free speech. i know. wink

[nonconformist]

34. It's not just that, it's the difference between us and the rethugs

We'll hold their feet to the FIRE regardless of their political affiliation.

[seabeyond]

37. i dont agree. i think we cut off nose to spite face. i dont think it is

effective, what the dems do to fellow dems. i think it would be much more productive to do an email blast and respectfully share what we see with this event. clue them in. and then, as they get it, we may actually get what we want. we the people have the power

[nonconformist]

40. By being critical, that's how we let them know what the people want

Placating them is pointless.

Besides, political capital is the least of my concerns right now.

[seabeyond]

42. these are the only tow options. i am suggesting a third option

that i suggest is more effective. and we have seen it be effective. again. i disagree with you

[soup]

22. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones

sense of urgency.

MLK - NOW IS THE TIME.
Why not cruise ships?

7 years in congress - I've seen what the military can do. Do it today.
again not refugees - AMERICANS.

[soup]

28. Rep. Diane Watson

'This is not rocket science.'
ha! good one.
These people are speaking from their hearts.

[seabeyond]

32. yes. they always do. why they make so much sense. n/t

[Q]

31. THEY speak for me...not the Clintons and Kerrys...

THESE ARE THE REAL LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. They know what it means to be a Democrat!

Forget the triangulating Kerrys and Clintons. Now THIS is leadership and leading by example.

[seabeyond]

33. whenever a dem does anything, means attack all the rest. well, anything

any dem does, i am going to support, embrace and encourage. you wnat to attack, as i have already said above. free speech, i hear ya

[Q]

38. I'm tired of the bullshit...

...and now IS THE TIME to point out that our so-called leaders are nowhere to be found.

Why haven't THEY called a press conference like this CALLING FOR ACTION?

I'll tell you why...because they plan on running for office and they don't want to offend anyone.

We need leadership right now.

It's way past time that we start cleaning our own house.

[seabeyond]

39. i am kinda thinking now is the time to save lives. but wtf

[Q]

45. That's exactly what the CBC is trying to do...

...but what is our Dem party leadership doing? Are they taking to the airwaves to rally the troops to help like the CBC is doing? Where the hell are they?

Lead by example. That's what we should be expecting from those who presume to call themselves the leaders of our party. They need to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

[seabeyond]

35. instead of just bitching i would like an email blast to dems in

congress to respectfully share how we feel they should address this, as they come back into town. remember back to all we accomplished as boxer was "thinking" about speaking out against the election jan 6th. we supported and encouraged her to speak out. and she took that guidance. i suggest we do the same in this event. we might be pleasantly surprised

[Blue_Roses]

36. Excellent speeches
