I understand that if you don't act you don't have much right to complain but do you think it helps one way or the other? |

However, a call or note from the resident of 1600 PA Avenue carries more weight if the resident is a member of the majority party in Congress....sigh. That being said, there are SOME congresscritters who buck the system occassionally, and others who want to know what the folks at home are saying. This year I think more of the R's are listening because it's election year. :) |

We have less than 24 hours to contact our Senators! Okie dokie...I just called Cornyn and Hutchison (TX). At both offices, the telephone attendees were courteous and pleasant. I asked each senator to support Mr. Kerry's amendment to withdraw the American combat troops from Iraq by the end of 2006. Cornyn's office took my zip code. Hutchison's office had an automated system that recognized my area code. Hope to hell others call, too.

Karl Denninger Don't blame me; I voted for Ron Paul. Silence is consent. |

We have less than 24 hours to contact our Senators! If you haven't made a call, please, do it now! Cable news is speculating that because they have tied support for the troops in with support for bush's sham war, many congresscritters will feel compelled to vote to keep our soldiers in Iraq indefinitely because to do differently it may look as though they don't support our troops. Imagine. The games they play with words. Let your rep know we want our troops home, NOW!! |

This is the Congress that handed THEIR war power (and legally their's alone [Legislative branch calls for war, not the Executive branch]) over to Bush, right? Until I hear just ONE of the Senators or Representitives expose (or even complain about) the corrupt ways of their fellow members, I will have to assume they are all criminals. |

Fascism worked well for those like you in the past 58, but today, with the massive amount of information that the average person has at their disposal, you and those like you will never be able to deceive the way you did in the past. 58, you are on the wrong side.

Support the Ammendment to withdraw American Troops!! We have less than 24 hours to contact our Senators! It would be a *very* big mistake to remove our troops at this time. Not only would it create a huge power vacuum that would probably be filled by the same kind of psychotic nutcase as the President of Iran (or worse - thus destabilizing the region even more), it would also reinforce the notion that we are a bunch of spineless jellyfish who never finish what we start, and who abandon our allies when things get hot, because of political pressure, thus opening oursrselves up for another '9/11'-like attack (and this time, you Lefties wouldn't have Bush to blame for it - just *yourselves*). |

We have less than 24 hours to contact our Senators! Pay attention 100653 ...Senator Kerry is proposing working toward a gradual troop withdrawal to be completed by the end of the year, NOT immediately. Additionally, all of the tasks placed before the troops have been completed. The most recent: To train an Iraqi police force. They've completed this now with the training of over 250,000 troops. If we do not consciously work to extricate ourselves from this situation, we will quite literally be there forever. Do not allow the fictitious claims of the 'domino-effect' to cloud your judgment. This is a false principle. Terrorism will not spread like some black plague from Iraq if we withdraw. The domino effect does not exist. This same argument was used to overstay our welcome in Vietnam, only then it was the 'Communism domino' we feared. This same lie was recently used in a different form ... a free and democratic Iraq would have a 'domino' effect, and spread democracy throughout the middle east. It's a lie, it's unscientific, and it's crap. |

Since the representatives' attention is so caught-up in the process of being reelected, I recommend the following approach when contacting them: "Support Senator Kerry's plan to withdraw the troops by the end of the year, or I'm not going to vote for you." |

We're not interested in a principle or an assertion ... we just want representatives who will do their jobs. |
