Seems to me that these folks need to be home fundraising. This is a powerful issue, but I don’t think it is powerful enough to move the tide, especially if our teetering house members can’t afford to advertise later on what they are doing now because, you know, the attention span of the average american is really short. Right

The plan is for reps to come in and out.

Some will go to DC.. then go back to their districts and back again.

This way we can keep the pressure on the Dems every day.

Everyone will have a chance to be in their districts.

This is much more powerful than fundraising.

"I just email Rush. I told him to get a lawyer to sue Pelosi to turn the camera back on."

All it will take is...
Lawyers, guns, and money!

(rest in peace, Warren)

Someone needs to make a political video of Pelosi and the Dems walking out, shutting off the lights, turning off the cameras, and refusing to talk.

between each of those scenes would be the transition words “NO LIGHTS” “NO CAMERAS” “NO ACTION”.

I plan to give my RAT-idiot Rep. Klein an earful while he’s here on vacation...same for his tribesmen Wasserman-Schultz, Wexluh and Assy Hastings (aka Buckwheat). This will be Phone Fun for a few days.

"Link to that alleged statement by Pres. Bush? "

The statement was supposedly in GWB's weekly address to the nation.

Do you mean justcan’tmakeupmymind? My son chose mine but I say feel free to take it from anywhere, except another FReeper! :)

Are you talking about my silly screenname? I ended up with that because when I was trying to register, none of the names would take and I was getting aggravated. So, I threw that one in thinking that surely no one would have taken THAT one. But, I also finally realized that FR (at the time, I'm not sure about now--it's been 10 years, I think) wouldn't take e-mail addresses from web-based e-mail addresses. So, I changed my e-mail address and left the stupid screenname there. Of course, it took it. So, there's the story. :-)

I used to stalk WZ and it turned into a wonderful gift that kept on giving. If you are a fan you should go read about some of my WZ experiences on My Blog

Speaking of brushes with fame, and germane to the thread, when calling various news organizations trying to keep the GOP House story alive, who should answer the phone but Brian Wilson!? No, not the Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys; Brian Wilson from Fox news. It surprised me but I rolled with it. Brian Wilson is as nice as he seems. He gave me a good 3-5 minutes of discussion before I released him from captivity. I told him how frustrated I was with the energy situation and the uneven reporting in general. He told me there were problems covering the story but they were doing their best. He was cool. Getting through to him kept me stoked and I was able to work the phone and email a lot longer just on the adrenaline rush from having Brian Wilson answer the phone. Most people don't know who he is but it gave me a huge thrill.

It reminded me of meeting Sam Brownback in the hall way on an Eighth Grade DC trip and I acted like I had Beatlemania. The kids thought I was crazy to go practically speechless over someone they had never heard of.
