Subject: The Senate Must Censure Senator Kennedy

Dear Senator McConnell,

Senator Edward Kennedy’s recent conduct on the floor of the United States Senate has been far, far worse than merely conduct unbecoming a United States Senator, thus the Senate, to preserve its own integrity, must vote to censure Senator Kennedy.

If Senator Kennedy’s recent series of comments had been made off the floor, he would surely be guilty of defamation. The floor of the U.S. Senate is not a shielded perch from which to defame the President of the United States. More pertinently, it is disgraceful for a United States Senator to stand on the floor of the United States Senate and issue “lie after lie after lie,” defaming the President of the United States without a shred of relevant, competent evidence, and with no consequence. For this, Senator Kennedy deserves the strongest reprimand the United States Senate can issue against a member. Senator is making a mockery out of the Senate. Even Senator McCarthy was censured for far less.

To preserve the integrity of the United States Senate and the sanctity of its chambers, the Senate must act immediately to censure Senator Kennedy.

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME

YOUR ADDRESS

Done.

Thanks for making it easy.

Thanks for posting all the email address. Sent the following:

Senators: If the Senate doesn't step up and censure Kennedy for his remarks on the Senate floor about the President of the United States, we people of this country will work overtime to see that you all are defeated in the next election. The rantings and lies from the Democrats have gone on long enough. They are putting our military and country at risk.

While I dislike the toad, I think your letter needs to mention specifics, otherwise it will be dismissed.

An absolutely true and perspicuous observation. However there is a silver lining to that cloud. This media double-standard has created a kind of Darwinian selection pressure that has allowed far left extremists to prosper within the 'Rat Party, whereas Republicans have been driven to marginalize extremists on their side. Since the electoral margin between the two parties is closed among moderates and independents, who are turned off by extremists of either wing, the result is that the GOP is poised to be the majority party for a generation hence.

Your comment deserves its own vanity post.

For years I have had an image of the bell curve of left/right as the disc or sphere-shaped weight on the end of a pendulum. The majority is in the middle just jostling along. When Reagan was elected the force that had been swinging the pendulum to the left began reversing. With the fall of the Soviet Empire the speed increased as more people moved to the right. This direction is still in play for many reasons but one of my visual images is of the extreme right getting squeezed off the edge of this circle to fling off into space. This makes moving to the right palatable for many more voters. Since the pendulum does not change its shape, while the number of right/left does change, what happens is that those left behind on the left become outliers. I see Hillary and Ted over there saying where is everybody?

DONE ! ! !
Thanks for the post.

I sent the letter as posted. I hope many others also do so. Letter writing campaigns help.

done!

also, here's a link to all the senators--it's a pain, though, because if you click on the link, it gives you a form. I can't find the direct email addresses, but I'll copy my two Senators on this.

Thanks for the list!! :)

[Warrior Nurse]

The Republicians will not do it they don't have the balls to conduct a fillibuster, so what makes you think that they will censure the Schwimmer?

I am getting tired of the two Massachuettes' POS rants.

Don't believe the President's father gets to choose who gets the award. It's probably done by some committee, not necessarily with President GHWB's approval.

Here's some info;
Series Description:
Murders go unsolved. Killers slip through the cracks. With the passage of time, families lose hope and another unsolved homicide file settles into obscurity. The pattern is familiar, but changing -- thanks to the efforts of a special breed of detectives. COLD CASE FILES, with Bill Kurtis, tells the story of their work.

These detectives are experts in the archaeology of crime detection. They blow the dust off old homicide files, walk down the corridors of time and set out on the hunt for a killer. Using new technology and old-fashioned police work, their methods offer a study in patience and perseverance. COLD CASE FILES, provides a documentary textbook for the method and the work of these specialized detectives. The series examines each piece of forensic evidence, each witness, each building block and turn in the road that ultimately leads detectives to their killer.

COLD CASE FILES is a pioneer in the forensic detection documentary genre. Episodes have been universally hailed by law enforcement agencies across the country and are regularly used as models for investigative technique in training seminars.

COLD CASE FILES is a registered trademark of A&E Television Networks.

If that's true, then he should find some excuse not to be the one to present it to him, or he should shove it up his fat butt. :)

Have sent it to both Warner and Allen. Also called McConnell's office. His staffer seemed delighted. We will give the big fat bloated Chappa the Hutt (the big ugly slug)what he so richly deserves.

[blackie]

I sent an email ~ Chappaquiddick Teddy needs to be held accountable!

[ohioWfan]

Got a reply from McConnell BUMP!!

Even if they can't DO anything about this SLOB, the flood of e-mails, calls and letters to our Senators will have a positive effect....
