Since he sold out the country perhaps we should send him 30 pennies. Now I know it should be 30 silver coins but we don't make them any more and he and his ilk not only sold out the country but devalued our currency. so 30 pennies seems appropriate.
Judas Ben-Nelson (D-Iscariot).
Worthy idea . . .
only he’s not worth 30 pennies from a single patriot.
Cut a $1 bill in Monopoly money into 30 pieces and send that.
Be sure to make the pennies ZINC.

At least Judas had enough remorse to hang himself. Senator Nelson has hung the American people instead.
Nelson was never really against the bill. He held up the bill for the biggest payoff he could get. He knows if he opposes the bill he will never get any set asides or other goodies again. All the “Blue Dogs” do this. That is why they need to go.

My response is the same as someone’s earlier one to thirty nickles.
Don’t send him any money. Even pennies mount up, and he certainly doesn’t deserve our financial support.
I e-mailed him this morning and asked: “What price was paid to win your support of the Senate healthcare bill? Thirty pieces of silver?”
How about 30 cow patties!
I’ll cut my ear off and send it to him
LOL! I am hoarding gold and silver. Sure not sending Nelson any!!!!!
In defense of Nelson, Socialism (the addiction to government subsidies and control) is overwhelming. Between the loss of military and O promising him extra Medicare benefits for Nebraska, it takes a real strong and principled person to say no.
Heck, most Republicans like Frist, Hastert, DeLay and others sold out to Socialism along the way. The power of “freebies” and “entitlements” is too strong to pass up.
Think of it this way. Our politicos KNOW the whole economy will crash and burn in the next couple of years. Why not jump on the gravy train, line your pockets and your friend’s pockets and then prepare for the explosion?
Now, we wouldn’t do that. But politicians in general are whores and “the people” as reflected by lobbyists, journalists and a sizable chunk of voters, no longer see a problem in giving themselves unlimited entitlements and making someone else (the alleged rich) pay for it?
Hey we can still count on Rolland Burris, right?

Don’t bother, he’s going to get much much more than that in tax money from the taxpayers of other states to pay for HIS state’s healthcare.
Paint the pennies with cheap silver spray paint, send them with a notation “Cheap silver foe the traitor JUDAS”
Of course we still make silver coins. Silver American Eagles are minted with regular and proof finishes every year. And every year we mint proof sets in coin silver. What we don't make any more, and probably have never made, is pennies. The penny is a British unit of currency, worth 1/100 of a pound sterling. Our basic unit of currency is the dollar, and 1/100 of a dollar is called a cent. The 1792 act that established dollars and cents as our national currency actually defined the copper content of cents as 11 penny-weights, so from the very beginning a cent was not a penny.
Suits me!
They are all sell outs. Right down to McCain...if he would have dared to call Obama on half of the lies he was spewing things might be different. He never called Obama out on ANYTHING. I feel that Palin has some of this burden to share. Having said that, she is regretful of giving Obama a pass on all his “misspeaks”. She has admitted to these mistakes and learned from them. I would like to think that this is not a lost cause. That there is something that can be done to save our freedom, but even optomists are hard pressed to find light at the end of this tunnel.
