Can we call it: 'You Can't Have Empire Abroad and Freedom at Home'?

This is a great idea! I am also going to call Elton Gallegly,(R)Simi Valley, CA. and ask him what can be done. I ain't rolling over on this one.

Excellent idea... This is what we need.

I don't really know how to start a ping list, so I wouldn't be a great choice to start a thread every day, although I can bump it to the top every day, and interested persons could check in regularly and post activities/updates/progress.

[Lazamataz]

Here's some information to include in the body of your thread tomorrow. I suggest we let the thread 'body' evolve for a few days, with us adding contact numbers and information, then when you feel you have it nailed down, publish a thread you bump for a few weeks. Then author another identical thread when the thread numbers get too high. And so on.

Here's the info:

[Valin]

CFR Bump.

Back tonight, got to go pretend I'm working.

Have fun play nice be good...well not too good.

[Lazamataz]

One point: A common mistake many people make is to overload people with info. This is a phenomenon actually proven by research. If you give them TOO MUCH info, they shut down.

Let's keep our message very edited and very trim. We will need to extract the info we present into a managable form, so as to keep people active.

[proud American in Canada]

ping! :)

[rustbucket]

Letters and emails went out yesterday to my senators and representative urging them to repeal the CFR bill.

[deport]

Don't just concentrate on the Republicans .... We need Judges that will vote to reverse the current decision.

Here's your Senators that voted Yea........

"We're corrupt, and the solution to our corruptness is to limit YOUR freedom of speech."

[Molly Pitcher]

I just did my bit for the day: got a call from the Republican Cong. Reelection Committee. Told the woman making the call EXACTLY why I wanted my name off their list, and told her to please pass it on.

[backhoe]

This was my futile attempt to abort this abomination:

Silence, America!:

Silence, America!: for Silence, America!.

Great news!!!

I just got a reply from Mike Rosen himself: "Great idea. Rational, concise and correct."

I've NEVER received a reply from a talk radio host, so that tells me he's interested--and since he's Tom's friend, if Tom has any reservations at all, perhaps MR can talk him out of them.

Yippee! :)

[4CJ]

What part of "Congress shall make no law" DON'T they understand? Idiots!

[jimkress]

BUMP!

My senators are Levin and Stabenow - hardcore Fascists both. It is worse than useless to speak to them about infringements on liberty since the only liberty they value is their liberty to rule the rest of us.

My Congressional 'Representative' is Nick Smith, one of the RINOs that voted for this monstrosity. I have questioned him several times about his vote and he is unwavering in his support for Congressionally imposed limits on Free Speech. I have no hope he would vote to repeal this law.

However, I will be making it clear to him that I will publicly oppose his position in Congress and will actively work against his son's attempt to replace him in the next election - due primarily to his decision to impose an untouchable political aristocracy upon his constituents.

[Dan from Michigan]

I called my congressman yesterday. At least he voted right. My two sinators are "Kerrying" worthless.

I'm on hold about to give the comment line some hell(politely) right now.

[DustyMoment]

" . . . let them know that you are cutting back by 1/2 your contribution to them as a protest."

No, let them know that you are cutting ALL of your contribution to them as a protest. As Rush pointed out in his analysis, the SC has, essentially, said that it is the contributors to political campaigns who are responsible for political corruption. As a result, in order to end political corruption, we must withhold any and all future donations to political campaigns.

If we hurt the politicians in their wallets, they will be only too happy to repeal this law but, my friends, don't become complacent if/when they do. They are noted for circumventing process and passing dreadful laws in the middle of the night when they think no one is watching.

Our first priority MUST BE to get CFR struck down in its entirety and allow NO similar bill to be introduced. The government has declared war on us; we must show them that we are ready, willing and able to fight back with every tool in our arsenal. That means writing our representatives to express our displeasure; it means withholding campaign contributions; it means actively protesting them everytime they make a public appearance. They should NEVER be allowed to forget or repeat the CFR debacle.
