Embattled Northern California Congressman John Doolittle, fresh from attacks on Afghan & Iraq veteran Major Eric Egland (two attacks… one here, and the other here) has now launched on Deborah Johns, military mom and activist for the troops.
Doolittle is under intense pressure from an FBI investigation into allegations surrounding his fund-raising, as well as his own party base in the California 4th District just outside Sacramento. His party base is infuriated because Doolittle is a chronic feeder at the Washington pork trough, second only to corrupt congressman John Murtha of Pennsylvania, yet the district has little to show for his efforts.
Currently anti-US democrat (I know, that is redundant) Charlie Brown (no, really, that is his name) who ran against Doolittle in ‘06 is some twenty-points ahead of Doolittle in the republican “safe” district. Brown lost to Doolittle by a mere three points last time out, and that is attributed by observers to his being “outed” as a personal friend and political ally of Cindy Sheehan....
...What started as a question to an ally of Doolittle’s, in a rural Republican Women’s Club resulted in an angry and threatening sounding telephone call from Doolitle’s communications director Gordon J. Hinkle. Hinkle, leaving his comments on Johns’ answering machine, lashed into her for misrepresenting the congressman and portraying him in an incorrect light with her question.
Hinkle’s message to Johns is that in order to exercise her First Amendment Right to ask a question, of a local official connected to the congressman, that she first clear her words with Doolittle’s office. Doolittle’s message to Johns is that the mother of a three-tour veteran does not have the right to speak without permission....

LISTEN before you call. 4 minute tape and commentary.
Ping for our friend Deborah, she needs our support right now and is being used as the target in a political posturing effort.
Is he a relative of Jimmy Doolittle?
here is his e-mail......use 95746 for the zip code.....123 main street and Granite Bay, CA ought to work just fine.....also the toll-free 800 number is below (busy signal right now)

Doolittle has signed his defeat.IMO.
While there has been a growing influx of Liberals into the Kalifornia foothills and the registered Repub lican %% is dropping as a whole, I don’t think they will stand still for this kind of bullying.
Don’t know who Gordon Hinkle is, but if he thinks I have to clear ANY of MY comments on ANY politician with the office before I speak, he is sorely mistaken.
If I remember correctly, Doolittle is the idiot who keeps wanting to build the Auburn Dam where there is a major fault line. I can just imagine a 680 foot high dam that backs up 35 miles of the American River and then lets loose when there is a quake. Disastor isn’t enough of a word.
Deborah Johns is a fantastic Person
This Doolittle POS should have someone push his teeth in
Double ping!

Looks like some of the politicians in Northern California need to look to the state just North of them. I have been told the governor of Oregon has ATTENDED the funeral of every service member killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. I do know that when SPC Dan Leckel, US Army, was killed on 25 Jul 07, the governor came to the tiny community of Glendale in Southern Oregon to the school gym and paid his respect. It’s a shame some of the ‘No-Nothings’ of NOCA can’t find time to do the same thing.
CONGRESSIONAL E-MAIL ADDRESSES
110th Congress
2007-2008
Most Members of Congress consider e-mail for constituents only.
Why are so many of these webmail rather than email?
http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/congress/conemail.txt
This webpage contains a variety of examples of how to send them e-mail direct, bypassing the constituent “qualification” on their websites.....a clever person can easily figure out how to send them a direct e-mail after spending a few minutes here.
Irate Email sent, proper but irate
Call me old fashioned but an A$$hole like this does not verbally assault a lady in my presence.
Both times I have met and talked Deborah Johns she was the epitome of the definition of a Lady.

Yes, that is evident every time I’ve seen her on the tube, as well. FWIW, my email said “knock of the harassment of this lady”
Ping
Bump/Ping ...
DO NOT let this attack on our troops and a great supporter of our troops go unanswered.
Please send it to your email lists and pick up your phones.
UPDATE: It says the link is at the lower right but it’s at the UPPER right, it was hard to find, so here’s a direct link,

It’s about 16 minutes total.
Sorry if this is a duplicate ping, this Lady needs our support.
Thanks Spirit!
Thanks for the ping!
Typical fascist liberal.
Oh yeah, didn't Charlie Chaplin play him in The Great Dictator?
The Doolittle bots will soon be here to tell us how he’s being crucified like our Lord & Savior...
I’m sorry but Doolittle was my Congressman for many years and this story just doesn’t jive with the man I know. I think there is more to this than just the BDM version.
