Check in here when you have called your congresspeople.

[Pale Blue Dot]

I called all of mine, including Lieberman.

[Loge23]

1. I'm in

Hastings and Mahoney from FL are toast.
They will NEVER receive another vote from me.

[Pale Blue Dot]

4. Thank you!

[KharmaTrain]

2. I Sent A Campaign Check...

With the grand total of $0 on it. In the memo column I noted "the real check goes to the person who will stand up to this regime...if you won't, the next check goes to your primary challenger".

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. Nice!

[Norquist Nemesis]

50. Perfect! What a great idea!!!

We should all send one with a $0.00 amount and write "NO MORE BLANK CHECK - IB/C" in the memo.

[AndyA]

3. I called mine.

YUCK. Inhofe/Sullivan, etc. I feel so dirty after calling them!

I also called Pelosi (4 or 5 times, E-mailed her, and filled out the comments box on her site.)

Same for Reid.

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. Good luck on Inhofe, but thank you!

[Tesla]

7. CALL!!

Call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to the offices of your members of Congress. Tell them to VOTE NO on the war funding bill.

[sazemisery]

37. I feel the same way but I had to call Blue Dog Boren & Dr. Coburn

I'm sure they will hang on every word I had to say. :sarcasm:

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Called mine yesterday

[Pale Blue Dot]

9. I would have expected nothing less from you.

:thumbsup:

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. His aide said he is voting for the war funding bill and so I decided to ask

about impeachment. He said there isn't enough time.

That must be their new story. Last week they didn't have enough votes, now they don't have enough time.

Chickenshits don't have enough balls.

[Ino]

11. I called my Rep, Carnahan (n/t)

[Pale Blue Dot]

12. Thank you!

[blm]

13. GOPs - but I called them anyway to holler at them.

.

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. Good. We need to rob them of their bubble.

Just like Lieberman.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. Why?

Really. Why bother? They were given a mandate in 2006 and the IGNORED US. Thanks, but I'll save myself the rising blood pressure.

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. Because if you don't, you're behaving like them?

You're figuring it doesn't matter, but it does. If you give up now, you're no better than the cowards in Washington.

[bdamomma]

33. just call if you don't this is what exactly what they want to us

to surrender, do you really want to???

[Tracer]

17. Not me.

Every single Massachusetts congressman and senator is voting against the bill ---- except for that crypto-democrat, Stephen Lynch (not my congressman) --- who can't make up his "mind".

[Pale Blue Dot]

19. You could call and say "Thank you"

The good guys need to hear that, too.

[Swamp Rat]

18. Congressional Switchboard -- [phone]

[Pale Blue Dot]

20. Thanks for adding that. nt

[NewJeffCT]

[Swamp Rat]

77. Thanks ................ kick n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. I called Schumer, Clinton and my Rep. John Hall this morning. eom

[Pale Blue Dot]

22. Thank you! nt

[Dernitt]

23. Called!

Oh and they just LOVE to hear from me.

:sarcasm:

[Pale Blue Dot]

24. Thank you!

[Bluerthanblue]

25. Called them all Carol Shea-Porter (NH) says she's voting against !

even if it doesn't effect the outcome, at least she's voting her conscience.

She should run for Senator- We could use a voice like hers in the senate.
Especially Gregg's seat-

:nuke:

[Pale Blue Dot]

26. Cool! Thank you!

[NewJeffCT]

27. I just faxed my current & previous Reps

Joe Courtney (former)
and Chris Murphy (current)

Will do the same with Dodd & Lieberman.

The Courant this morning made it sound like Murphy was waffling on voting "no" - so, I told him & Murphy to not just vote "NO", but "HELL NO"

[Pale Blue Dot]

28. Awesome. Thanks!

[NewJeffCT]

49. welcome - and just faxed Dodd & Lieberman

hopefully, it will make a difference.

[smokey nj]

30. Called my Rep. last night and called Sens. Menendez and Lautenberg this morning.

[Pale Blue Dot]

39. Thank you!

[CTD]

31. Yup. Done.

[Pale Blue Dot]

40. Thank you!

[bdamomma]

32. I called mine Kennedy, Reed and Whitehouse

and told them all to vote NO and stop giving this maniac what he wants all the time!!! I didn't exactly called him "maniac" unfortunately.

[Pale Blue Dot]

41. Thank you!

And he is a maniac.

[youthere]

34. called mine.

Harkin, Grassley(eww) and Loebsack.

[Pale Blue Dot]

42. Thank you!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

There is absolutely no point in calling my Congresscritter

Dan Lipinski from IL-03. He's going to vote for it, no doubt about it. He's a DINO, pure and simple.

However, I will call Sens. Durbin and Obama and plead with them to vote against it. I'll check back in after I get through.

[Pale Blue Dot]

44. Thank you! And Lipinski needs to escape the echo chamber.

[WolverineDG]

65. Does he have a challenger for '08?

Mine does, at least in the primary. :evilgrin: Let me tell you how fast I got their attention when I said I wouldn't support him if he voted "yes."

dg

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

69. I don't know yet. I'm hoping that a real Democrat will challenge

this bozo next year.

But knowing Danny Boy and the Cook County Dems, they'll just find someone to split the vote so he just walks in again, like he did in 2006.

[NewJeffCT]

70. It can't hurt to at least fax him

Then you can call him on his BS when he goes on the local news and say, "well, my office didn't hear from anybody who supported timelines," or "the calls were about 50-50"

[NightWatcher]

35. I'm getting full mailboxes and no answers

the bastards are avoiding us

[Pale Blue Dot]

43. The DNC mailbox was full this morning.

[eleny]

36. Done

[Pale Blue Dot]

45. Thanks!

[leftupnorth]

38. Called mine yesterday, and again today

Carl Levin, Debbie Stebenow, Bart Stupak
Told them if they vote for the funding, I will vote against them.

[Pale Blue Dot]

47. Great job!

[City Lights]

46. I called Bean's office.

Receptionist had no idea how Bean was going to vote on the funding bill.

on edit - I called Obama's office - he's "still looking at it." Durbin's line was busy, so I'll have to try again later.

[Pale Blue Dot]

48. Thank you!

[Breeze54]

51. Called , e-mailed ...

:banghead:

Online Directory for the 110th Congress: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/

WE'RE ASKING ALL OUR PARTICIPANTS TO TELL CONGRESS: DON'T SURRENDER TO BUSH ON IRAQ

Please call NOW toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 and ask for your own House member and Senators.

And ALSO leave separate messages for both Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi at their leadership offices.

They represent you too!

ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/no_bush_surrender.php

[Pale Blue Dot]

52. Thank you, thank you!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

53. I managed to get a call through to Durbin's Chicago office.

The woman that answered the phone didn't know how he's going to vote, but I just asked her to please tell him to vote No. Obama's DC office has the answering machine on and I left the exact same message.

I didn't even bother with DINO Dan. He's useless..

[City Lights]

56. When I called Durbin's Chicago office, I was told they didn't handle

policy questions in the Chicago office and told me to call DC. When I called the DC office, the line was busy.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

62. Call them back and insist that they relay the message to Sen. Durbin.

I tried 3 times to get through to the DC office, each time the line was busy.

Just remind whoever answers the call in the Chicago office that you can't get through to DC and it's part of their job to relay the messages on.

As well, I'd send a e-mail/snail mail to Durbin's DC office about this. I have a sneaky feeling that if the Senator himself was aware of this "policy" he wouldn't be too happy about it.

[City Lights]

78. I got through to his DC office this afternoon.

They said they didn't know how he was going to vote on the war funding because he was still looking at the immigration bill. At least I got my .02 in. :-)

[Jack Rabbit]

54. Email message sent to Boxer, Feinstein and Mike Thompson

If Mr. Bush want war funding without strings attached, then he doesn't want it bad enough.

Please vote NO on any war fundign bill without a timetable.

Thank you.

[Pale Blue Dot]

57. Thank you!

[SarahB]

55. I've been cleaning our bathrooms.

But, I'll fire off my opinions via calls and/or letters this afternoon.


Remember what I said before when you called me. :)

[Pale Blue Dot]

58. The whole country's going into the toilet, so I guess that's appropriate.

:cry:

[SarahB]

61. .

:hug:

[yurbud]

59. faxed--lines all busy (CA senators & Waxman)

[SharonRB]

60. I called both Levins and Stabenow

[jgraz]

63. CA Senators all busy, sent another email

I called Barbara Lee, but she's already on our side.

[Beaverhausen]

72. Yes, can't get through to Boxer or Feinstein. I called my re (Sherman) yesterday and today

Person who answered said he hasn't decided yet.

[jgraz]

73. THEY'RE ALL LYING TO US

My ass he hasn't decided. They want to hide their votes and run away from this whole thing. Tell that coward that you're on to him.

[WolverineDG]

64. Called Congressman Cuellar's office

BTW, the switchboard operator sounds frazzed. You guys calling much? ;)

Anyway, nice person answered the phone, took down all my info, esp the part about my being a precinct chair. :evilgrin: Asked politely for Cong. Cuellar to vote against the war appropriations bill, even though it included the minimum wage raise & that if he voted for it, I would no longer support him. I said I hated to say something like that, but I was very angry & since my vote was my only power, I felt I had to.

We shall see.

dg

[More Than A Feeling]

66. I did it for MoveOn.

Dave Loebsack voted right on the McGovern Amendment, so I have high hopes that he'll vote right this time around too.

[AlGore-08.com]

67. Called mine

[watercolors]

68. called mine

Bill Nelson of Fl, and Martinez, who I know is useless, Feeney is also a wack job, but sometimes can surprise me with his vote.

[ganeshji]

71. Done. n/t

[Bluebear]

74. Done and kicked. nt

[RevCheesehead]

75. Mine is still undecided.

However, he is getting lots of calls urging a "NO" vote.
I am so glad I called.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

76. Done -- Giffords in Dist. 8 AZ

[jazzjunkysue]

79. I do it regularly. Feels good. Gotta do it, or you can't complain.
