I am seriously considering taking Mandarin

That's what I just told my congress critter's office.  I also asked how they expect to get reelected with robbing us blind?  No response.  They didn't ask my name, where I lived, etc.  Real representative government - NOT!

FEMA: Kansas Severe Winter Storm and Record and Near Record Snow

This was important legislation to the demagogues to forward their agenda.
People were starting to catch on that it was fabricated and Obama knew that it had to be passed Now or never.
he is losing his clout quickly.

They can’t pass the legislation that they want anymore and they are trying to come up with another game plan.

Emanuel Says Immigration Reform Bill Lacks Votes to Pass

If this fails it is dead forever now.
If we keep the pressure up we can stop the atrocity of government rationed health care too.

Call people. Support for this nightmare is weak. Call your Congress-Vermin.

Bill Sammon says it is a squeaker, but “likely” to pass. Please no!

I’m freaking stuck here with Murtha. Not a prayer he won’t vote yes.

Worse than France. France does not elect Muslims to run their country.

Thanks for the link. This is the first time in my life I called my Congressman Aaron Schock in DC or any other politician. I told the clerk that he is NOT to vote for this tax increase.

Aaron is pretty conservative. I doubt he would vote for this even without my call.

>>There is one upside to this going through. It will impact *everybody* and fast. People will be hurting. I think that about 50% of the population just isn’t paying attention and this will wake them up fast.<<

Correct and guess who would take the blame squarely on his shoulders for it!

ZERO’S FAULT!

I told him I opposed it.

Nah, I want the intern to pass my message on so I am always polite, but I totally out debated him.

I am SERIOUSLY considering running for office. I KNOW I could do a better job or representing the people than Wu or Merkley or Wyden. I KNOW it.

I’ve called my elected reps numerous times about this, and capped it off with e-mail and phone calls today. They need to hear from their employers.

You’re welcome. Good for you for calling your Congressman. Hope the phone lines are jammed today.

“why are there 3 years worth of unemployment benefits in it if its NOT expected to raise costs and create more unemployment???”

I like to equate it to NAFTA for the sky.

Instead of looking north to Canada and south to Mexico, you just look up.

You look up, while they reach in your pocket.

I called my congressman's local number - Harry Mitchell, D-AZ, and the intern said he's not sure how he's going to vote, he's still in meetings. Told him if Mitchell voted yes, I'd work like heck to get him out of office in 2010.

I then called his DC office to leave a message, but his voicemail was full - which has never happened to me before. Hopefully that's a good sign and good old Harry will defy his party for once and do what's right for the country.

You're right, that is a good sign. Keep on calling; jam those phone lines!

Come on, this will only kill 4-5 million jobs and start hyper inflation.
