Ping!
You think that's bad, you ought to try and call Asa Hutchinson's office.....
You need to repeat this to the highest ranking members of that committee. Send the email to each of their offices, or better yet a certified letter (spell-checked, on nice paper and signed)
BUMP!
You might also call your 2 Senators, and ask them to find out for you. Tell them what happened.
Well, I don't think that would do much good... my Senators are Clinton and Schumer.
My deepest sympathies.
It stinks; I have no representation in the Senate!
jmstein7, you are awesome! Just awesome! Sure I'll call for you.
"Well, I don't think that would do much good... my Senators are Clinton and Schumer."
OUCH! Have you considered moving?
Remember, they are YOUR Senators and YOU are a constituent. Give them a chance (or at least their staffs a chance). If the information is in the public domain, you should be given it. If it truely is not, they should let you know that as well. It is very possible that it is internal Senate business and that you really don't have business knowing about it. But I don't know.
Thank you!
Considering the fedgov doesn't abide by the US constitution, I am not suprised that the Senate Rules Committee doesn't follow its own rules. The idea that the state can ever be limited is naive at best.
Neither do I (Feinstein & Boxer)
Well, yes and no. The meetings themselves (and what is discussed) is generally private (and for good reason -- can't have unsubstantiated charges floating around), but the dates of meetings are public -- it SAYS when they meet in the rules, which is public info.
Therefore, the "rain date" for meetings is public info as well.
Wow.
On Fox news this morning, there was a Republican by the name of Brad Bxxxx (something or other). He mentioned in his comeback in response to the Edwards crony that both Kerry and Edwards were barely in Washington doing the job the tax payers paid them to do.
Do you know why this was? He was EXCELLENT in his responses. He might be a person to contact since he mentioned their absences also.
Also, send in a comment to Hannity/OReilly/Greta. Being a lawyer too, maybe Greta could help?
A very sweet, young voice told me that it was classified. I asked her where in the rules it said that this was classified information. She said she didn't know, that she was new, and that some lady just told her to say that. Honestly, I believed her. I told her that that didn't sound right and that they were obligated to inform the public about these sorts of things. (Even if they can keep the content private, they surely cannot keep the meeting private.)
