If you don't see your congress person listed in this article - send them a message anyway and ask them to please cooperate with these other congress people who are trying to expose the horrible corruption of the Clinton White House years.
BTTT
Hillary IS my congressperson. *sigh*
You are very right...and, like you said, if ANY Congresscritter can release ALL of the report without punishment...then GRASSLEY could/should have by now.
WHO is pulling his strings to keep him from doing this?
I would imagine a LOT of people...I don't get the impression that Grassley is too hard to push around.
BTW...the Senate wants MORE input into the NSA program...but, how can we trust a group of people that are complicit in hiding a scandal that they KNOW happened??
I still say that since the public has paid to have this report compiled, it should be made public. Maybe full disclosure would cause our Congress and other leaders to act more responsibly in the future. How many of these investigations have been done, at our expense, only to be buried so as not to embarrass anyone? Quite frankly, if they are doing detestable things, we should know. If we elect them again, knowing they are liars, traitors, rascals, then it's our own faukt.
These chicken shi* morons are all talk no action, got a e-mail from Eberle asking me to fax these jerks. Why should I have to pay for fax for them to do their job, they aren't going to to it any way.
What about Sen. Coburn....he doesn't seem to mind standing up to anyone?
Besides these same Senators turned him into the Ethics Committee because he wants to keep his OB/GYN office open in Oklahoma...I doubt if he feels ANY loyalty to them.
Well .. it's not a lie. Tony Snow has been saying from the beginning that ANY CONGRESS PERSON CAN DEMAND the release to the public of the FULL REPORT.
Grassley may need some support from those of us who realize what is in this report. Why don't WE GET OFF THE COUCH AND SEND SOME EMAILS OR MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS REPORT ..??
Instead of sitting around and whining because Grassly didn't do what we thought he would - and just because you're not seeing it on the nightly news, it doesn't mean Grassly isn't working behind the scenes.
This is exactly what happened in congress when Pence started speaking out about the over-spending. He seemed to be all alone until other congress people started hearing from their constituents and suddenly Pence had all kinds of support from other members of congress.
Rush has said many times .. contacting your own reps does get noticed and most of them will respond to our demands .. especially when they find out many other congress persons are also being contacted.
The KEY is WE the people.
Don't feel bad - I'm stuck with Boxer and Feinstein!
How about a House person - does your state have any repubs representing the state - if so - contact them and explain why you're contacting them - because your local rep is a democrat who has a vested interest in NOT EXPOSING THIS INFO.
Wouldn't it be great if DeLay released the Barrett report.
Robert Novak said:
"Any such lawmaker, who believes American taxpayers should see the product of $23 million in expenditures, presumably could then publish the material without fear of legal sanction."
This is basically what Tony Snow has also been saying.
I know this is going to be hard for some of our congress people - but those who are running for re-election better be paying attention.
We're sick and tired of the Clintons getting a pass on everything. We're tired of their corruption and we're tired of the media fawning over them.
Our congress people need to understand that out here in the real world - PEOPLE DO NOT FAWN OVER CLINTON - it's only the DC press and other media elites from NY who do.
I know this will not be easy .. but nothing worth doing ever is.
"... buried so as not to embarrass anyone."
Very well said Shery - and .. I agree that it's time to start EMBARRASSING a few people and maybe that's how we can clean house.
I believe this exposure could have a very good effect on present as well as future congress people. They wrongly believe we aren't paying attention .. or we're too stupid to figure it out.
Well .. I don't PAY to fax them. There is access to your local rep - CALL THEM IN THEIR LOCAL DISTRICT - you'll get better access and faster results.
But .. to assume your efforts will result in nothing is a very defeatest attitude .. it's like saying - why fight the terrorists - they're just going to kill us anyway.
Ironically, I think most of the GOP members of Congress are in hurry to distance themselves from Bush...
which plays right into Hillary's hands...and this report, or lack of it, being made public, is one consequence of that.
Each one was a felony, IIRC, but nobody ever did a thing about it.
There was so much dirt in those files that the Republican party has been paralyzed for years out of fear of blackmail.
Doesn't say much for wither party if you ask me.
I don't agree!
Now .. more than ever there are DEMOCRATS who DO NOT WANT HILLARY as their nomineee - and DREAD HER AS PRESIDENT. The thought of reliving all the scandals of the Clinton WH during a presidential campaign is very distasteful to many democrats.
I believe there are many on the democrat side who would support releasing this information in order to get the Clintons off the front page and keep Hillary from getting back into the WH.
