Posted on 12/15/2010 9:57:05 AM PST by SE Mom

ENOUGH!

Call the Congressional Switchboard and ask for your Senator's office.

NO MORE OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING!

NO more hidden projects and sneaky laws passed inside the budget.

Tell them (politely of course) IT IS TIME TO STOP.

This bill will cost $1.1 TRILLION.

There are 1,924 PAGES.

EACH PAGE represents $575 MILLION.

There are at LEAST 6,488 earmarks.

Included in this bill is funding for the beginning of the health care legislation.

CALL (202) 224-3121 NOW!!!

I called:
Jim DeMint’s DC office: She said he wants to read bill - told him to go for it.
Mitch McConnell’s DC office: Staff gal said HE wants to read bill - is against it.
Russ Feingold’s DC office: Told Voice Mail (high call volume my fat fanny)that I didn’t like the pork, didn’t like the bill and to vote no. No real contact

Folks - melt down the phone lines. This is the most arrogant bunch of DC congresscritters I’ve seen in my lifetime. Nov. 2 just gave them reason for a hissy fit. Don’t let this happen, folks. I told DeMint’s office WE WON, they lost - NO compromises. Call your Senator and Rep and get your voices heard. Just pick up the phone and call. BE polite, but firm.

The page answering the phone for Manchin of WV sounded very busy and rushed but said he would
pass along my desire to vote no on stupidbus, dadt, dream and amnesty.

I've already called (yesterday and today) both senators and sent emails to both senators.

Cochrane is planning to vote YES.

Need I mention that he is the biggest porker of all?

Cochrane, along with lame-spiteful-ducks, Bennett, Voinovich and Bond are planning to vote with the Marxist democrats to negate the power of the New Congress for their entire first year!

1934 pages!!!! It's been a long time in the making. The Marxists were just too skeered to pass it or bring it to the floor before November's election.

STOP THIS CORRUPT LAMEDUCK NOW.

Light-up the switchboards!

Called McCaskill and Bond. Both are voting 'No.'

Called McConnell's office, trying to get the bill read in its entirety.

A while ago someone posted a link to a site whereby an individual could enter their address and get links to their elected reps. Does anyone have that link? The link made it easy for those who don't even know who their representatives are to contact them. Obviously I am not referring to FReepers. Gonna put the link on my FB and email it to everyone I know. Thanks in advance.

Thanks SE Mom. It wasn't the link I was thinking of, but it does the same thing. It is beyond me how some people don't know who their reps are, but if you make it easy, some will call/contact their reps. Have a great day.

Calls to local offices also count. I prefer the DC offices, because I like to raise hell.
