4. Awesome?
How many other actions by the House has she and Sten Hoyer blocked? That is not awesome. This is not awesome. It is just safe. She knows what you do not. It means nothing. Nothing will be done. The Emperor laughs. As does the Empress. She is not awesome. She is appalling.

5. She's about to find her ass without a job.
Maybe now she'll wake the fuck up and start doing the job she was elected to do.

7. Donate to Shirley Golub! She's running against Pelosi and taking donations on ActBlue
After only 48 hours, she had raised about $11K. Every Thursday at noon, she sits on a table in front of Pelosi's office.

She needs our support!!!

8. wolf....wolf.....wolf!
"we have repeatedly sought to avoid confrontation"

"when we pass this resolution we hope the administration will realize this House of Representatives, this Congress, is serious about our constitutional role of oversight"

....otherwise we'll stamp our feet really loudly...well not too loud...that might be confrontational.

I'd almost rather they didn't put up all the window dressing. I have zero faith in Nancy to carry anything through especially her ability to reign in the blue dog fascists in her own party.

9. She's not making the Democrats in the Senate look very good...
and they shouldnt.

Bravo Nancy, thanks for finally growing a pair, and telling the brat to have his tantrum.

I'm writing my Congressman today to thank him for upholding the Constitution.

I'm also asking him the following questions:

I am a Verizon customer, and Verizon has been identified as one of the companies thought to have taken part in illegally providing access to citizen's private phone conversations and email.

Have my 4th Amendment rights been violated by the Bush administration and Verizon through the use of illegal electronic surveillance?

Have any of my 4th Amendment protected conversations or emails been given over to the federal government in any form, without a warrant or probable cause?

Have any of your (Congressman Adam Smith) private conversations or emails been handed over the federal government in any form without a warrant or probable cause?

Has the Bush administration or any member of the federal government used the illegal wireless wiretapping program to review the conversations of any private citizen, without a warrant of probable cause, for purposes other than protection against terrorism such as political enemies or other causes favored by the administration?

I want answers.

10. Right on. I'd like to see a dump truck load of such letters going down the series of tubes
and being dumped on every single Congressperson's door!

Starting with the direct, present tense question;

"Are you and I being spied on?"

Qualifiers like "illegal" surveillance may not fit the situation.
It is not illegal to spy on you if done outside US jurisdiction!

Is it still going on??

Think about it! Route the transmissions .....

11. I sent the same questions to my Senators...
I'm dumbfounded that they havent been asking these questions from the start.

And why arent they asking? Who has been wiretapped? What has been done with the intelligence?

Why, after 7 years of constant lies, do we accept anything Bush says as fact?
