Please contact your senators and put the political fear of God, and a fear for their political life into them...and ask everyone you know to do the same.

Uh, right. I’ll send letters right out to Kennedy and Kerry asking for their support...

Yes, there were formatting errors with that first one and I asked the moderator to remove it. A post to that effect is in the other thread.

If they get enough of them they will at least know you are out there and that there is a possibility, however slim, that they can lose in a future election.

In particular, after the victory of Chambliss in Georgia (which was also a huge victory for Sarah Palin, showing the influence she has and what we can expect on a much larger scale in 20101)

It is possible that in 18,093 years, she may indeed be ready.

At least they will know you are out there...and if they get enough letters, it may well make some difference.

The more the better and each of us has to do whatever we can within our own sphere of influence.

I like it. They are going to need some focused group tested sales points on why these items are bad to convince the public, and some carefully written polls to throw the press.

The fillibuster is the MOST effective when it is used to hold up a bill long enough that it becomes unpopular. You can see this with the UAW bailout and Pelosi/Reid/Obama trying to find a winning position , now that polls show the public against it. Fillibusters are less effective if they are done against items that stay popular, for whatever reason, because you just loose the next election like 2008. This is because the public wants Washington ‘to get things done’, and the MSM plays that up.

Thanks...I’ll probably revise it a bit to fit my senators.
Ignore the naysayers. The more those who represent us in DC hear from us the better...

For me the issue of FOCA is extremely important.

We shall see. She clearly made a difference in Georgia, and I believe that difference wsas for the better.

The more she does of that, the better, particularly in 2010.

As to her campaign as a VP candidate, she was loyal to the man who put her on the ticket to the best of her ability...but let's wait and see what she does on her own.

I am willing to give her that chance.

Agreed 100% on the FOCA...and please feel free to revise this letter. The more folks writing similar letters...the better for us all!

Thanks...if we get enough people calling and emailing everyone they know about writing their senators, and can successfully then get each of those to do the same...and so on, and so forth...we can literally get tens and hundreds of thosuands of letters going into to these pols and maybe cause them to fear for their political life.

I called many senate and congressional staff offices prior to the bailout. I think they just ignore our calls. They admitted 75% of the feedback was hold off/reconsider/delay or outright NO BAILOUT and then then just voted against the expressed will of the people and suffered no consequences.

I feel they got away with it and will continue to ignore the will of the people.
