Okay guys, time to tell them how we feel re: Rice

[Jo March]

We have done it before. We can do it again. It's time to flood our dear elected officials' offices with calls, faxes, emails, letters, etc. about Rice's confirmation hearings.

We have to work fast. We need to stand up and shout as loud as we can that we don't want RICE for Sec. of State.

You can sign the petition that Sen. Boxer has by going to this thread and linking from there: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x285210

Let's go!! We need to "manage up" and teach them how to do their jobs!!

3. The American Progress Action Fund has

Eight Questions to ask Rice at her confirmation hearings. I received it as email so don't have a link. They are fantastic. If you go to their site I'm sure you can see it. I will try to find the link to their site.



Got it. http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=292254

5. Done & mailed data links to Boxer

I sent this short list of sites to Boxer's staff this morning.
Maybe it will save someone else time when writing our objections to confirming Rice as SOS. The disinfopedia article w/ links is very helpful. I also think it would be good to query her unseemly links to the oil companies - Chevron is a particularly horrific company doing damage worldwide...there is a site (where oh where?) I found from a du link on their doings, but I can't find it.
