I Just Called The White House To Urge Obama To Fire Simpson.........
Edited on Thu Aug-26-10 11:16 AM by global1
I urge all of you to do the same. The phone number is: 1-202-456-1111.

There is no way I'm going to stand for Simpson's insolence and you shouldn't either - and may I add neither should the President.

They better get the message: Don't mess with Social Security

No more donations to the Dems and the President until they begin to do what they said in the run-up to us giving them the White House, the Senate and the House.

It's over guys - until you start coming through for us.

Don't let this Simpson issue die. Call the White House "NOW"!!!!!!!


And post here if you did. Let's see how many calls we can get in there today.

1. I'm in.
Ms. Sherrod was fired in a heartbeat for an alleged insensitive remark. Why not Simpson?

Why not??

3. that's a very perceptive question, grasswire....
I think the answer is probably because Simpson is saying the things the WH wants him to say, no matter how onerous, and they thought Sherrod was saying what they didn't want to hear, no matter how erroneous.

4. I was just writing down some talking points
for my call to the White House. Love all the information I get here on DU, it sure comes in handy. As soon as I am off the computer I will make my call.

5. I just called.
The woman who answered was quite sympathetic (and well versed on the details of Simpson's life).

7. K&R, but we've already been told to shut up and take it.
So it goes.

8. Emailed.
Alan Simpson has sucked on the public tit since birth. Son of a politician, father of a politician and a politician himself, the taxpayer has footed his bills all his life. He has milked it to the last degree.

If I were on your team and said this about a Republicon, would you have fired me as quickly as you fired Shirley Sherrod?

9. I did too.
But I don't think it matters. When they return Republicans to dominance, cut social security, continue with tax cuts for the rich, start a war with Iran - it will be mission accomplished, imho.
