I think you missed my point. I am concerned, solely, with seeing them squirm.
I called the RNC of Missouri. She told me if it is any consolation, that Bond has been getting 2100 calls a day. Still he voted the opposite. Last week I was promised he would vote No.
“concerned, soley, with seeing them squirm”
Perhaps we need to be soley concerned with voting these “weasels” out of office. Squirming means nothing to them as long as they get to stay in power and get their egos stroked by saying they represent the people.
“designed to silence his phones”
That’s my guess. We hammered Georgia’s Senators and I believe they stood their ground on a nay cloture vote even they had helped craft this pos.
Squirm first, then removed from office. What I am proposing is an immediate squirm opportunity, and a chance for them to lie about it so when it comes out in the wash, they will be on the record with a big ol’ long nose. The removal from office is at least a year and a half away.
Bond is one of the most likely prospects to flip and vote no for cloture on Thursday. Glad to hear he’s feeling the heat.
Call and e-mail to express outrage at Gregg’s vote for cloture. Explain that we’re not stupid. We know it’s the same as a vote for amnesty. DEMAND a “no” vote on cloture when it comes up again Thursday. That’s the last, best chance to stop the bill.
Gregg’s office: 202-224-3324

“I am hopeful that substantive improvements can be made to this bill; however, if they are not, this bill will fail and I will vote against it.””
There are no substantive improvements to this bill that will help the H1-B situation. The massive Z1 visa program will cause a breakdown in processing of legal immigrants, will unleash 6 million family-chain-migration ‘backlog’ cases, and will hamper employer-based immigration for more than a decade.
Gregg needs to be a NO VOTE ON CLOTURE.
Thus the right solution for Senator Gregg is to vote “NO” on cloture.
Yea, Kit Bond was pumping the same sunshine up our asses when he spoke to Hannity tonight. These people, of and by and for the people, give no sense of responsiveness to the people. They do not fear us. And they sure as hell don’t respect us.
I heard it. I had emailed Hannity and asked him to ask Bond if he was promised anything by the administration or the Republican leadership, but he didn’t. I would be very interested in knowing who got to Bond, who I always thought was a good guy, and on what basis they got to him.
I was walking past Senator Gregg and a constituent in the basement hallway of the Dirksen Senate Office building and I have to say, he was the single most rude person I have ever overheard. The constituent most innocently handed him a poem she had written urging him to vote against the pending amnesty in disguise immigration bill. He threw it back in her face and said “That’s a stupid poem.” Then got on the elevator and walked off.
I have to say, as a hill staffer, I see Senators interact with their constituents all the time and I have never ever witnessed something so rude in my life.
My sympathies go out to all the New Hampshire citizens who have to endure him as their Senator. He’s just awful.
