Call the Dem Senate Campaign Committee and tell THEM no $$$ unless
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 02:21 PM by blm
they filibuster.

Schumer has been sending mixed messages and it's time they get THIS message straight. Schumer heads the DSCC.

Tell him how we feel. Politely and firmly.

6. I did this a few days ago when they called soliciting money.
My husband was laughing in the background. He said "you really told them off". And I did!

18. That's what I told them.
I said 'you're not getting one more cent from this family unless you filibuster Alito'. Then I said: 'DO YOU UNDERSTAND'? The poor guy sort of cringingly said, 'yeah'. I got the feeling he had heard the same thing many times that evening. :D

7. Recommend. Just called. Very pleasant person took my message ...
... 'no cloture on Alito until Bush's illegal spying is fully investigated' and that our continued financial support of Democratic Senatorial candidates will be determined by whether Senate Dems block cloture on Alito.


Peace.

8. Flood the DSCC (politely). I've contributed in the past, and I CALLED --
no more $$$ if there are not enough Dems to filibuster Alito.

9. They must understand that this is a national vote.
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 02:27 PM by ProSense
All they have to do is listen to the people (most Democratic voters are vehemently opposed to Alito) and represent our interests. This is not about bullying. This is a serious issue. Our elected representative have decided that the voters (not just the base because there are Republicans and Independents just as opposed) don't matter.

I saw a crazy headline this morning:

Senators Oppose Alito and Filibuster


Evidently they don't understand what opposition means.

16. My call in
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 03:17 PM by sandnsea
I made sure to explain I'm just a 48 year old grandmother from rural America, AND that the new thing is that as our kids get on their own we will have disposable income. Whether it goes to the DSCC or somewhere else is dependent on what these Senators do today.

22. I just called.
Told them I was a lifelong Dem, and that hubby and I had just gotten to the point in the past few years that we had some disposable income to donate to Dem candidates, and we have been doing so. HOWEVER, if the Democrats can not develop a spine and filibuster Alito, no more $$ from this household. Said that they need to block Alito because he is a grave danger to our Constitution.Asked her to pass this on to Sen Schumer and the others.
She politely said thank you and "have a nice day".
