Contact Numbers for Bill Frist: 202-224-3344 (voice) 202-228-1264 (fax) Make them STAY! The Senate must be in session on Christmas DAY!
Quit whining. Quit surrendering with out a fight. Some Freepers are EXACTLY why nothing gets done. They always advocate surrender the minute things get tough. Get off out butts and FIGHT for once. NO Clouter means NO CHRISTMAS BREAK. MAKE THEM STAY!
Yeah, blame it on the VWRC.
BTTT
You got the ping list? Mine's at home.
Make them stay!
Also I've already called DeWeenie blasting him for his support of the filibuster.
But that would require Frist to grow some testicles????
Absolutely, Make them stay until they get their work done.
Good point. Maybe we should also call Stevens and Landrieu.
Absolutely, Make them stay until they get their work done. No defense appropriations bill w/o ANWR for our national security.
Take up house bill on Illegal Immigration NOW
To hell with that gentleman stuff, our country is at risk. Make the jerks stand up there and do a real filabuster. Maybe old Byrd will finally retire while spitting on the Senate floor. Time to act like real men and women, not girley menand sissies. Frist probably wears silk undies with no fly.
Good for you, this guy will lose in November if he plays around with Alito vote. Does he have a primary opponent?
I couldn't agree with you more. I am so sick of some of these RINO Libs who disguise themselves as Republicans when they run for election.
I'm pretty ticked off already since hearing that Snowe and Hagle have called for an investigation into the wire tapping fiasco. Now this! Makes me want to kick a reindeer.
As of now, there is no primary opponent for DeWine, the filing deadline is in Februray. There is a primary opponent for Lincoln Chafee.
Consider it DONE.
During the recess can't republican senators pass lots of other things...let the rats go home and bring up legislation, they've filibustered? Just thinking out loud.
What exactly are you protesting (name of the bill?). Is this about the Patriot Act?
Done.
.
i made my call.
My Senator (Ensign) has been called, emailed and faxed.
Senator Dingy Reid has been contacted to let him know what a traitor he is.
Perhaps he can borrow a pair from Hillary.
Can someone clarify - does this bill that's being filibustered contain the McCain amendment banning 'torture' (ie. the Al Qaeda Bill of Rights)?
I just called--could NOT get through to Sen. Frist's office so opted to be put through to Sen. Sessions' office. I like tough-minded Sen.Sessions. Phone answerer said they have dropped this issue 'til they return at first of '06. I said I want to see them stay in session and slug it out!

BUMP
Just got through to the Leaders office and stated my position to a young lady....we'll see....
Thanks for starting this thread. (wish you had pinged me)
Below you will find the list of all senators. Call them all! This nonsense must stop. They work for US! I don't give a rip if they spend Christmas standing in the senate squirming with the need to go potty. If they want to filibuster ... BRING IT ON!

Use it often--I do!
"What you said" bump
I call them all, frequently. If more would, we may get someplace. Until then we can sit at our keyboards and whine I guess.

Another great post by MNJohnnie
Oh, what a great and original idea. Here's the reality pill: One can call, e-mail, fax, and howl at the moon all one wants.
Unless that one happens to be a major campaign contributor, the senator in question will never even see or hear of whatever grievance is conveyed, and the best one can hope for is to be placed on said senator's franked mail list. That will only win a lifetime supply of nonsensical propaganda in the old mailbox.
Oh, sure, the staffers keep a running tally of the positive/negative responses, but those stats are for internal use only, and only justify the existence of the staff.
These senators know two things very, very well: That they have lifetime rights to their little feifdoms as long as they keep the big money people happy, and that the voters are too friggin' stupid and lazy to ever mount any meaningful challenge to their thrones.
As disgusting as that all sounds, if it makes a person feel better to scream and yell at some anonymous voice on the other end of the phone line, then have at it. The best you can hope for is a well-ventilated spleen.
Things will never change until voters come to their senses and term-limit these worthless turds via the ballot box. The royals are confident this will never happen because that is the dirty little secret of this so-called "two-party" system: People will vote party over principle every time out of the chute.
World's upside down.
Lately I've been trying to keep them out of town to prevent further damage, and here now I am actually demanding they stay. Go figure.
Yet they need to stay and if they miss their vacations. Tough. They should have finished this before our lives would be in jeopardy with the Patriot Act's expiration, as well as military left unfunded. It's their damn fault and I expect them to fix it immediately or no holiday jet setting.
If they don't stay to pass the Patriot Act, the democrats are toast for the next 30-40 years if we have another problem over their 'winter holiday'.....
Merry Christmas Senator Reid, you killed the Patriot Act, remember????????
Letters from angry constituents DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Don't buy into this cynical garbage. VOTERS MATTER!
One of my favorite sayings is... those who say it can't be done, should stay out of the way of those doing it!
Phone calls from big money contributors matter. The voters be damned. Keep on dreaming, Pollyanna.
Snail mail is delayed for weeks since the big anthrax scare, and most of it goes into the shredder after your return address is gleaned for the franked mail list.
Phone calls from commoners are charted, and the results are seldom passed to the bluebloods.
Same with e-mail; nobody takes it seriously unless, of course, there is a personal threat to the elite addressee. You are being scammed and laughed at by people that think you aren't fit to shine their shoes.

So, you're going to write your Congressman? Good idea.
Make it a good letter.
People who think members of Congress pay little or no
attention to constituent mail, are plain wrong. Concise,
well thought out personal letters are one of the most
effective ways Americans have of influencing law-makers.
But, members of Congress get hundreds of letters and
emails every day. Whether you choose to use the Postal
Service or email, here are some tips that will help your
letter have impact.
Write on!
Pollyana
This is rediculous. Come on. We can get a lot of things done, but spending money on phone calls "demanding" that the Senate stay in session on Christmas. There is no way they will do this. Plus, most of the staffers are getting the phone calls and probably just saying "Oh sure I will give the message" and then just goes back to surfing the net. I just think that we have more important issues to worry about. I believe everything has been accomplished for this year in the minds of the Senate.
