Rockefeller and Manchin’s offices are only taking messages via recording, at least that’s my experience....

Just got off the phone. McConnell's office is busy, but Boehner's wasn't.

TELL THE REPUBLICANS TO WALK OUT AND CALL AN EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE CAPITOL STEPS! TIME TO RAISE HELL!

Our elected representatives are destroying America, one trillion dollars at a time. I can hardly believe the insanity of it all.

I hear the latest excuse for earmarks that's being trotted out: that the amount is so small, it won't break the budget.

But this isn't about budgeting.

It's about bribery.

It's about TRUST.

8 billion won't break the bank in terms of bucks. But in a republic, trust is the coin of the realm, and that 8 billion will leave us flat busted.

Franklin was prescient when he warned: A republic, if you can keep it.

Chambliss’ staff says he is voting Noooo... I asked the young lady, very nicely, if it was incorrect information about the items attributed to the Senator, and she replied quite cryptically, but still nicely :), “We have heard about them.”.

As always at this time of year, I wished her a very Merry Christmas, and said that I hoped they would all hurry and go home for the holidays ; }

May God give us strength, and help us all maintain our sense of humor!

Isakson says no also, but I told her that I was calling, not only to encourage him to hold, but also so that he could point to ALLLLLLL of his up in arms constituents, and encourage OTHER Senators to do the same.

DH wrote a letter a while back telling our reps that it was not enough for them to vote no, that the reallly important part of their job is to convince other representatives so that we can turn the tide!

God bless!

It’s not really ABOUT the earmarks. It’s about the mentality of spending. They don’t spend our money on NEEDS- they spend it on WANTS - THEIR wants to keep themselves in the power structures they’ve set up.

Exactly as you say- it’s about TRUST.

Watergate, VietNam, we lost trust in our government but I think this is worse.

Sybeck1 just told me that Senator Wicker has changed his mind and will vote *NO* after hearing from us, but keeping calling him and keep sending emails.

Cochrane won’t answer! His office is going to voice mail.
Cochrane needs to be inundated!

WKB has the Mississippi list posed on his page. If he doesn’t see this soon, will someone ping? (I am not on the list).
