Diane Feinstein is going to hear it from Me!
As my senator, she just got a piece of my mind!

I wrote to her here! http://feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactUS.EmailMe

Today in California, the DMV is closed for business, and IOU is what
Those filing taxes to get refunds will get instead.

I also called her at Phone: (202) 224-3841


Fuck that biotch! :mad:


Dear Sen. Feinstein,

If you vote against the Recovery package that President Obama is urging be passed ASAP, I promise that you will no longer have my support in anything else that you might do politically anywhere, anytime. Perhaps you are not hurting, but many in California are. Just the PR earned by your words on the floor of the Senate demonstrates grandstanding on your part, and were not helpful whatsoever! Like our President stated, this is not a game.

This is my promise to you that I intend to keep.

Respectfully,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

6. She reserves the right to NOT vote for the Recovery Package.
She's playing games.

13. Just called her DC office and got through after 6 attempts. Let the person on the phone
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 02:24 PM by Parker CA
know that she is out of her mind to put forth the notion that she may not vote for it considering our economic situation in CA, the fact the we are on furlough for the first time today, and that if she does go through with this absurd notion, that she needs to deeply consider the ramifications for future support in any political endeavor she may choose to pursue.

Sounds like they are getting bombarded with calls. Keep them coming, she's out of her mind to think she would be in any way benefiting from this decision to go against the bill. Another wolf in sheep's clothing.

PLEASE CALL NOW!!

Phone: (202) 224-3841 DC OFFICE
Phone: (415) 393-0707 SF OFFICE
Phone: (310) 914-7300 LA OFFICE
Phone: (559) 485-7430 FRESNO OFFICE

26. She is my Senator I reserve the right to recall her sorry ass fro her posh seat in the U.S. Senate
if she does not vote for Obama's JOBS bill.

Feinstein had no problem voting to give all that money to the banks. What a hypocrite she is!!!!

One could be lead to think she is trying to undermine the party for whatever reason.

9. And most Californians don't notice or care.
We need someone to run against her in the primaries, but so far, no go.

15. Unfortunately, she is not up for reelection until
2012. Rumors are she wants to run for Governor in 2010. That's the only way we will get rid of her early but who the hell wants THAT for governor? Not me.

27. An attempt was made to recall her last year. Perhaps there will be another attempt.
I think if she doesn't vote for Obama's JOBS bill the next attempt will be successful.

Labor can be a powerful force in California.

7. I write Di-Fi periodically to tell her
that she still disgusts me. That's all I say.

Dear Senator Feinstein,

You STILL disgust me.

Even those four words are a waste of time. She doesn't CARE. Period.

10. What?! How topsy turvy is that!
Our Republican Govinator is rooting for the bill to pass yet our Democratic Senator is willing to side with the obstructers?

12. From your mouth to Mrs. Fein$tein's ears. I doubt if she will hear you.
Apparently, there isn't enough pork in the package to make it worth her while. It's time for Obama to send his bad cops up to Capitol Hill to explain to the senators just how badly this is going to end up for them if they don't help out the President. (I don't know if this actually happens, but it did on the West Wing when one of the staffers explained to a recalcitrant senator just how badly things would go for him on some of his favorite projects if he didn't get one of the President's favored bills passed. I do hope it's true.) I've had it with this reaching across the aisle and playing kumbaya nontheless.

16. I called, and got a live person......and I calmly expressed my Dismay
to her aide. I told the woman that I am very displeased with the Grandstanding, that the recovery package vote is not for gamesmanship and that just the PR alone on her words on the senate floor may have cost her my vote. She asked what my Zip code was.....

So anyone who wants to call her, just say your zip code is 93449(Pismo Beach), 94501 (Alameda), 92119 (San Diego), 94301 (Palo Alto), or 94619 (Simi Valley).

TIP: Southern California Zips are more powerful, cause that is where the Republicans are!

there are more zips here: http://www.mongabay.com/igapo/zip_codes/CA.htm

17. Don't care for DiFi. She's as much a Blue Dog as
Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu and has voted with Republicans alot over the past 8 years. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if the Republicans had tiny clue what they were doing, but they dont and they've been worse than ever the last eight years.

Her own state is in the toilet with government offices having mandatory shut down days. WTF is wrong with this idiot woman?

19. This lady is a fucking nut. I blocked my number and called...
it took a while to get through to the DC number. I used one of the zips Frenchie recommended. I cannot believe this! Between people like her and Nelson and Vitter I'm getting really disgusted!

22. We don't need her. 51 votes will get the job done.

Just remember that she voted with Republicans who want to sink the economy.

Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 11:12 PM by Beacool
She was just saying that because the Repugs were trying to gut the bill, then she reserved the right not to vote for it. In other words, that if too much was taken out then she would oppose it just like they were opposing the current version. She was trying to tell them that two could play that game.
