I tried to send one to Walter Jones, who is not my representative. He, too, will accept e-mails from only those in his district. I looked up the zip code of one of the towns in his district and inserted it. I worked like a charm!!!

[Republican Wildcat]

Lieberman is a Senator.

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

What Can I Say? I had a brain dump! Shoot, I used up my annual allotment of mistakes already! I sure appreciate y'all pointing out what a stupid comment that was!

[Republican Wildcat]

Primary challenges are an order.

Good job Nancy!

Every single one of these 17 Traitors need to be removed.

I will never again care about how they vote on anything.

They have made it clear that they are the enemy and should be treated as such.

Ahhh. don't take it personally. I saw hillary get the words to the Star Spangled Banner slightly wrong (And her squaking moose voice didn't help), and she's a patriot.

" I'm unsure whether the message still goes to her or not."

I'm pretty sure it didn't. You'll have to pick up the phone and call.

I called the Dems who voted against the resolution and commended them. I'll call the Repubs who voted for it on Tuesday. Monday's a holiday.

FWIW, Don Young (R) Alaska says some of our elected representatives are acting irresponsibly and discouraging our troops abroad when they should be supportive.

[Earthdweller]

I understand those who are angry with their Republican Reps for doing this (Lucky for me all is well in my neck of the woods) but remember...

.....91% of the Republicans did not vote for this stupid thing.

There is sanity out there. Let's not forget that and don't let it get buried in the hype.

That said..I wouldn't blame anyone for kicking the traitorous wimps out of their towns and cities.

[mombonn]

Upton will hear from me.

[SuzyQue]

I have to go wash my mouth out with soap. Back in a bit.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

It's more than that. Votes like this encourage the enemy to attempt spectacular killings so that the MSM can show footage that supports the surge not working. The Dims and RINOs that vote for this have blood on their hands.

[Gator113]

What can be done???

Can we even save this Country of ours?

The political system is too big, too slow and too complicated to fix this but, there MUST be something.

I'd like to think you're right, but I think in terms of popular support for the war in Iraq, the public has lost its patience and confidence in the admin.

I really think if we had a national referendum today, a strong majority would vote to pull out quickly, and the results be damned.

I agree that the media had depicted Iraq poorly, but the admin has done a terrible job in communicating the good news, too. Plenty of responsibility to go around.

Get the congressman's home office address and use it for your email. Anywho.com is a good place to search.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Tom Petri. Unbelievable.

[Gator113]

"The Dims and RINOs that vote for this have blood on their hands."

Yes indeed, and I look forward to a time when these Traitors can see blood dripping from their own throats.

Here's what I sent mine yesterday after his tirade


I am writing to tell you of my disgust that you spoke on the house floor today 2/15/7 during the debate for the resultion #68, and misled the nation.

You stated that there were no WMDs. The link below from the House site proves that over 500 shells filled with degraded mustard and sarin have been found since we entered Iraq. Each shell is capable of killing approximately 3000 people, for a total toll of approximately 1.5 MILLION people.

Below is an excerpt from the "LETTER DATED 27 JANUARY 1999 FROM THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NETHERLANDS AND SLOVENIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL" that can be found here:

http://www.un.org/Depts/unscom/s99-94.htm

"550 Artillery shells filled with Mustard

33. Iraq declared that 550 shells filled with mustard had been "lost" shortly after the Gulf War. To date, no evidence of the missing munitions has been found. Iraq claimed that the chemical warfare agents filled into these weapons would be degraded a long time ago and, therefore, there would be no need for their accounting. However, a dozen mustard-filled shells were recovered at a former CW storage facility in the period 1997-1998. The chemical sampling of these munitions, in April 1998, revealed that the mustard was still of the highest quality. After seven years, the purity of mustard ranged between 94 and 97%. Thus, Iraq has to account for these munitions which would be ready for combat use. The resolution of this specific issue would also increase confidence in accepting Iraq’s other declarations on losses of chemical weapons which it has not been possible to verify."

If you state that there were no WMDs in Iraq again, I will know that you are intentionally stating mis truths, and I will do my best to make sure that everyone in the state knows that you spread falsehoods for political purpose.

I am hoping you are an honest person.

BTW, I'm not counting on him acknowledging that there is proof of WMDs found after the invasion, and I will enjoy skewering him if I can.
