Western Union a Senator
Randi Rhodes had a great idea. She suggests sending a telegram to a Senator's office. She also suggested just a simple line of......Don't certify the vote, let the House pick the President. YOU CAN'T CERTIFY WHAT YOU CAN'T VERIFY.

I only sent one to Byrd. It cost $14.99. If we could all pick one Senator.

2. you should have sent it to Reid
Apparently someone here posted that when the called his office asking him to contest the election the intern asked " which election do you want him to contest".

Pathetic indeed!

3. I had a letter hand delivered to Kennedy, but it took two days via
Congress.org. It only cost $4.95. $14.95 is awfully steep, but how much are all these phone calls costing everyone? Being on hold for such a long time has to be pushing up the bill, I would think.

5. I sent one to Barbara Boxer
Randi Rhodes suggested telegrams for making a great impact.
They will have yellow telegrams they can hold up and wave in front of the cameras...

I will send one to Reid, too.

8. Here is mine to Chafee..
Senator, You are one of only a few Republicans I respect. Deep down, you MUST know he stole this election and disenfranchised thousands, if not more. You should see the videos! The poor people -- SO excited about voting standing in the rain ALL day and then being screwed. Please stand up for what is RIGHT! Vote NO to certification! Let the public know what happened since the media won't!

$14.99

9. ACK! Too late for telegrams?
Western Union says: "Next day delivery available if order received before 6PM eastern time"

Has anybody ever heard of this one:

http://www.1-800-cablegram.com/governmenttelegrams.htm

They have "Political Message" and "Washington Package" services which attempt to hand-deliver same day, but it costs!
