" Dear Activist,
We’re down to the wire—and we’re going to need IMMEDIATE response to stop Senator Frist when he attempts to trigger the “nuclear option” to shut down debate about judicial nominees. So, we’re trying something new and groundbreaking—and we need you to be part of it.
It’s called Mass Immediate Response (MIR) and it allows thousands of people to contact the Senate and make their voices heard all at the same time.
Here’s how it works: As soon as Senate Republicans trigger the “nuclear option,” we’ll send a text message to your cell phone. Embedded in that text message is a link to a Senate phone number based on your state. With the push of a couple buttons, your call – along with thousands of others – goes right through to the corridors of power demanding preservation of the filibuster. (Very simple instructions about how this will work on your phone model will be made available when you sign up.)
Join our massive immediate response!
This is a brand new technology, and this is the first time it is being used for activism on a large scale. (Don’t worry: we will NEVER send your cell phone spam or disclose your number to anyone else – and if we use MIR in the future, you will have to opt-in again on that specific campaign in order to receive messages.)
Picture it: by pushing the button, tens of thousands of American patriots are making their voices heard in Washington at exactly the same time, flooding the Senate with simultaneous calls to save the filibuster.

"Is there any way to get a bunch of wrong numbers added to their database? "
That's a DU & A.N.S.W.E.R. tactic, we gotta play within the rules.

Well, you made my vision blurry just reading it if that's any indication! :)
As for ideas, just let them alone. Seems to me their plan is to have a collective cry after the fact. Who cares?
But somebody, please, make them have to go to all the trouble already.
I thought they hated FReeping.
ROTFLMAO!
Good job!
I received this from the Center for Reclaiming America (e-mail), and if you can't call them all, please at least call one or two.
If you can't call them, at least e-mail them (but calling is more effective).
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. PLEASE make that call!
The Center has identified six key senators whose votes may well
decide the fate of the filibuster rules change. We are asking
all member of our online team to contact these individual
senators, urging each to FULLY SUPPORT THE FILIBUSTERING
RULES CHANGE.
Even if none of these six senators is your own senator,
please invest the time needed to call each right now.
Here are their names and contact information:
Sen. Susan Collins (ME) 202-224-2523
Sen. Lamar Alexander (TN) 202-224-4944
Sen. Trent Lott (MS) 202-224-6253

Here is the toll-free number to reach any and all of them:
==>877-762-8762
Don't worry. Neas has to do something to justify his paycheck.
Our nation has already turned against the left-wing pfaw looneys, as Democrats keep losing elections and Republicans keep winning more and more power.
Mere technical tricks aren't going to suddenly make the pfaw lunacy somehow appear to be "mainstream," regardless of their counter-intuitive name.
So let them bark at the Moon; their mindless baying won't stop the coming break of dawn.
It does seem kind of hair-brained -- like it would be obvious that it's a setup -- just a gimmick to use "new technology," and without having any effect on any Sinator.
Well put --- poetic, even!
Pook, that is one uuuuuuuuuuugly looking URL! I don't want to have to give my monitor a bath, so I'm not going there.
But the sound track should be the sound of 49 million dupes, Useful Idiots and Marxist elitists gnashing their teeth during the world's first Class Action Temper Tantrum.
Hey--just updated my tagline!
see #24
The cell business is stealthily boosting their income and picking up a whole lot of cell numbers ... and how will liberals use them? BWahahahaha, stupid democrats will probably jump down the ratcell hole.
If we all joined as well, would our attempts to get through, be thwarted contingent on our "message", will "canned" messages be sent, or can we actually get through and speak?
If it's the latter, I say we all join, utilizing THEIR technology to undermine their attempts to FLOOD with their "message", by flooding over THEIR floods with our message?
We should also let the non-rino's know their plan as well. There are still a few non-rinos left? Yes?
This would be awesome if we find that the left is actually persuading and winning, since we can then call in ourselves, demanding that our RNC donations be RESPECTED and put to GOOD use! ?????
We definitely need to brainstorm this! :)

the Senate phone system? If they get enough people to do this, they will tie up every trunk coming into the Washington DC Metro Area.
