Need some help folks!!

need someone to post twitter pages to follow up with!!

THE MARCH IS ON!!!

[eeevil conservative]

Well folks, we had an AWESOME day on Friday, but there is more to do!

1) Keep calling DC! Yes folks, resume to the phones on Monday morning. Call everyone- NOT just your Representative. Call EVERY House Representative in DC and ask them to keep talking about energy. Tell them what state you are calling from. Tell them that WE, the people, WANT to hear them. The LIGHTS ARE NOT OUT ON THE INTERNET! Pelosi CANNOT shut down the internet! We are HERE! We are WAITING! Pelosi CANNOT black out the American people from their Representatives! SHE wants this to fade off the radar, but WE WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN as long as THEY want to talk to us, WE ARE HERE AND WAITING!

2) Call the MSM—remind them that the STUNT on Friday was NOT the Republicans continuing to talk. It is CUSTOMARY that once adjourned, Representatives can continue to give 5 minute speeches on the floor. The STUNT was that the Speaker of the House turned out the lights, cut the microphones, and turned off the cameras. THAT is the STUNT! THAT is the out of ordinary event of Friday.

3) MILLION PATRIOT MARCH on DC! Prepare to swarm DC on September 8th, 2008! SHOW UP! Come with signs, bullhorns, cameras, phones, laptops any device available. Not only BE the news and the VOICE of America, but BREAK the news to America! We will have FREEPERs here to report your news, bloggers here to report your news, and BLOGTALKRADIO Hosts here to report as well.

I sent an email to Pelosi a short time ago and just received this reply.

If you are not a resident of California's 8th Congressional District and are contacting me in regard to my role as Speaker, please email me at AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov.

You may want to send to both email addresses.

Just as an update to the Czarina's book tour, apparently Amazon has deleted over 200 negative reviews of Nancy's lousy book.

Why did Amazon dump over 200 reviews of Nancy's crapfest?

[Miss Didi]

Thanks for all you do, eeevil! Hoping that this will take center stage on Rush today. From Friday's show:



RUSH: Nancy Pelosi and the gang have left town. There is nothing going to be done for five weeks, not a single appropriation bill -- nothing on drilling. And it was not just four years ago when we saw John Kerry hounding President Bush to go "jawbone" with the Saudis to bring the oil price down? Now, four years later, all they want is for the price to remain high. They want you miserable. They want you suffering.

Anyway, what Pelosi has basically done here is shut down the House so they don't have to talk about offshore drilling. They went out, got aboard their jets and they left town without taking any action on the president's request to drill for oil and other things. Twenty-five members of the House Republican caucus nevertheless stayed behind and continued to make speeches and discuss -- on the floor of the House -- the need to drill here and drill now. But Pelosi ordered the cameras from C-SPAN turned off, she ordered the microphones turned off, and she ordered the press gallery cleared. However, I have just been informed that the lights have come back on. (The cameras have not yet, at least according to C-SPAN.) So this is an excellent sign.

Now, what the House Republicans today are doing right now is just ramming it down the Democrats' throats. When the speaker of the House, who controls all this, orders the cameras turned off, the lights turned off, and the microphones turned off... you know, this is reminiscent of what happened back in the eighties with Newt Gingrich and his boys leading the special orders at night. Tip O'Neill finally got fed up with it and ordered the House closed. The special orders -- they're just in there making speeches to an empty body -- but as long as somebody is speaking C-SPAN contractually had to carry it. So the House Republicans, 25 or 30 of them, are just continuing to hammer away, and they're demanding that the Democrats come back and debate them and talk about this and take action on this thing that the American people care so adamantly about, and that's the supply of oil and providing it for ourselves to make us less dependent on foreign oil.

This is not going to be good for the Democrats, folks. They claim to be for the little guy, they claim to be for the great unwashed and the downtrodden, the homeless, the hungry, and the thirsty, but they've abandoned them -- and they've abandoned them with four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline. They want the price to stay high. The American people are starting to figure this out. The only people making noise about taking market action that would lower price is Republicans. And Obama is in big trouble on this. To sit there and take no action whatsoever and then to say, as he did today, he wants another stimulus check to every American, a thousand dollars paid for by oil company profits... The American people don't want the oil companies paying more taxes. The federal government gets 50% of all the profits that the oil companies report anyway, so this is a winning issue, and I suspect the president and the Republicans are content to have the Democrats out of town and showing that they care nothing at all about the American people. I mean, all the Democrats care about is their own reelections and their upcoming convention.

Now, Representative Mike Pence, Republican, Indiana, who is single-handedly trying to kill the Fairness Doctrine forever, is one of the organizers of this session that is taking place in the House of Representatives today. He says that up to 40 Republican members are prepared to keep the proceedings going. He is quoted as saying, "I'm prepared to stay here as long as we can." He added that before the Democrat motion to adjourn was adopted, a hundred Republicans, 100, had signed up to speak for five minutes each about gas prices, but the adjournment vote precluded that. Bu the Democrats skipped town, got in their own private jets, making their own carbon footprint and flew away. These kinds of tactics, folks, are exactly what is called for. This is worthy of your support.

If you can somehow find a way to let these guys -- the Republicans -- know that you are appreciative of what they're doing, that they're finally standing up and that they are fighting the Democrat majority on this and taking it to them on an issue that matters greatly to a vast majority of the American people, do it. And I want to congratulate them and encourage them to keep up these kinds of legislative tactics. They've been absent for way too long. This is gutsy and it's courageous, and it will stand these guys in good stead. It will inspire their voters, it will inspire them, and you can inspire them by letting them know you appreciate what they are doing.

Sorry to all if this has been posted already, I just got to the thread. KFI radio, Los Angeles, is reporting that Pelosi will not allow C-Span to turn on the cameras today. They said that she calls the shots on this. Even the libs on the news crews seemed surprised to hear this...even disappointed.

The tide is turning.

[Toki]

Missed the whole one last time (with Family) but I’ll gladly help with this one! (Ok, well I’m always embarrassed to call anyone, but I will mass email and see if I can hit any of the Diggs, currents, etc. with the news)

[Isara]

Are they there yet?

[truthkeeper]

Good on you, girl!

[ConservativeMan55]

We will get around the camera thing. :)

[eeevil conservative]

YOU ROCK!!!

Get down there and thank them for being there!!!

Please keep us posted!

If you can talk to any of the Congressman— and they would like to do an internet radio interview— Please give them my number— I can put them into what ever show is on the air and get them on....

I will send you my phone number!

[SueRae]

I tried calling several of the Republicans this morning, their mailboxes were full...a good sign. I did call my rep (unfortunately, it is Sestak, with a D. I respectfully requested that he get himself BACK to Washington pronto to work on energy policy like the Republicans are doing. I will vote for the man or woman that says drill here, drill now. My prepaid oil plan wants 4.55/gallon of heating oil, up almost $2.00/gallon from last year. That is patently absurb, we’ll be cutting down the trees for fuel!!!

How bad would it look for Pelois if someone videtaped the Republicans in Congress, posted it on Youtube, then sent the link to all the major media outlets.

PELOSI TURNS OFF CSPAN, GOP CONTINUES TO SPEAK OUT

I called a local talk show at 6:35 this morning to inform them what is happening today and gave the toll free numbers and Pelosi’s email address I posted in this thread. The talk show host has been giving out this information all morning.

C-SPAN/Q&A Host: Brian Lamb Guest: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA) 08/03/08

LAMB: About you. What would those five things be? What would you, what do you want people to know that you demand?

PELOSI: Well, first of all, we have to know who is the boss and that is the American people. Our constituents are our bosses. And that is remember who we work for, we all work for our constituents for the people. Secondly, I do not like surprises. I am not interested in surprises of any kind.

LAMB: You mentioned in the book that the founders were disrupters, magnificent disrupters. Explain more of that what you mean. If somebody disrupts your day, it does not make you very happy.

PELOSI: I love disruption. Yes, I mean, when I say surprises, I do not want to be surprised about something that I should know about. But disruption is the American way. The founders, think of what they did. Think of what they did, this band of patriots, as they declared their independence from the greatest naval power in the history of the world. They signed an oath, a declaration of independence to fight for that independence.
