Re- Thanking the Stand-Up Congressional Dems |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 02:37 AM by snot
What I'd really like is for someone to set up a web page where w/ one click we could use a credit card to contribute $10 or some other amount to the election/re-election campaigns of each of the Dems who spoke for election reform today.
(and as I understand, they are: Senators Barbara Boxer D/CA Hillary Clinton D/NY Debbie Stabenow D/MI Edward Kennedy D/MA Ron Wyden D/OR Frank Lautenberg D/NJ Harry Reid D/NV Tom Harken D/IA Barack Obama D/IL Christopher Dodd D/CT Richard Durbin and Reps. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones John Conyers Corrine Brown Julia Carson Bill Clay James Clyburn Danny Davis Lane Evans Bob Filner Raul Grijalva Alcee Hastings Maurice Hinchey Jesse Jackson Jr. Sheila Jackson-Lee Eddie Bernice Johnson Carolyn Kilpatrick Dennis Kucinich Barbara Lee John Lewis Ed Markey Cynthia McKinney John Olver Major Owens Frank Pallone Donald Payne Jan Schakowsky Bennie Thompson Maxine Waters Diane Watson Lynn Woolsey
Is there anyone out there who could do this?

Yay for the Congresspeople! At least SOMEONE will stand up for Democracy!
Today was just a small battle. We will win the war, friends. :)

6. They did not all vote yea. They still deserve thanks. |

All we needed was one vote. Why pay more when you can buy what you need for one. I'm among those who believe add'l votes would have brought us more grief than help. All who stood up exposed themselves as targets for attack, and all clearly spent the night working out what to say that would help most to obtain further investigation and reform. Pls see my post at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x260451 and this post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x260715

7. the speakers who didn't vote for were having it both ways. they |
|
can say they stood up but they don't have the burden of voting. that makes the INTENSELY cowardly to me. Boxer is the only senator worth a damn at crunch time.
So, they said a few words. talk is cheap.

You've got so many players. They can only take so many hits before they're out of the game. I just don't see that we would have gained enough to make it worth setting them all up to take more fire at this point.
For the same reason, I approve Kerry's approach. If he'd been in it all this time, he'd be history by now.
