I’m in the same boat as theocodont. I called my Senators at their DC number and told them not to vote for tax cheat Geithner for Treasury Sec.
But calling Democrats and begging them not to vote for something liberal is probably like begging the devil not to do something evil.
It sucks having Democrats represent you. But at least we get a lot of sunshine in the People’s Republic of California.
So maybe the trick is to “adopt” some Republican lawmakers and congratulate them for acting like conservatives.
It certainly wouldn't hurt, and it just might help. I also wrote my Democrat Senator (Bill Nelson, Florida) to vote “No” on approving Eric Holder. I reminded him of the Elian Gonzalez debacle back in 2000. I called Sen. Martinez's office and told them the same thing. Not sure it did any good, but it made me feel like I was making my opinion known.
