Is it worth calling the DNC to complain about Alito too?

[bleedingheart]

Now I called my repuke senators...both Specter and Santorectum even though I know it won't be of any use.

But I also called the DNC and left a message with the Chairman that I didn't want to receive any more fundraising letters if they don't have the cahones to filibuster this jerk Alito..

Everytime I get one of those fundraising letters...they put on like they are saving me from the evils of the republicans but in the end they either go along to get along or they back off.. I say...put up or shut up.

So do you think it is worth it or does it fall on deaf ears...?

2. You are aware that it's an entirely different staff now, don't you? NT

3. Yes, Dr. Dean has SO MUCH INFLUENCE on what the Senators do.

:sarcasm:

Get real.

4. well it is the fundraising arm of the party....and apparently money talks

and bullshit walks in Washington...

if we threaten to pull the plug on donations???

[NYCGirl]

5. And that'll just cripple the grassroots, which is where the money is

going. This is not Terry McAuliffe's DNC, you know.

6. well I am a committeewoman and we have heard "zip" out of the new DNC

in our area...and it one of the premier battleground states...PA...scene of the Casey/Santorum race

We beg for speakers, we beg for help...where is the DNC??

[NYCGirl]

8. You'll have to ask them. I thought they spent plenty of time there

helping Casey.

[bleedingheart]

9. all they do is ask for more money...and more money...

but when you ask for them to help us you hear nothing.

I have sent letters, the chair of our local party has called...but National is just too far removed. The state party is helping some...but let me give you some insight...we are holding a training session for people interested in becoming active in Democratic Committee...paid for entirely by....our local fundraising...
The state is going to send a speaker but they aren't paying for anything nor are they going to contribute to our training....it is entirely home grown which we are happy to do but we have been begging for a national speaker to come so that we could generate more cash for our outreach efforts and to get more people involved...

7. contact DLC they don't give a shit about you, but they are cowards

and might worry about losing votes.

10. Your state is included in this press release.

Perhaps your state leaders are like our state leaders and don't tell you what is going on. They got some money, though. Talk to the state leaders.

11. unless you're a corporate lobbyist

or you want to give them money

there's really not much reason to call the DNC about anything
