We knew they’d do this, but it still steams me to see it.
I just called Dr Coburn’s office about this. The girl told me she’d heard from one other person about this, and she was going to be trying to get the info to Dr Coburn.
He is one of the few we can count on to try to stop it.
Just called Sen Inhofe. His people must be pretty busy, ‘cause my call went to a recording which says his mailbox is full.
I’ll keep calling.
Gotta love our very own House of Lords...
I hope the Founding Fathers are spinning.
RUSH IS COVERING THIS NOW!
OK, I finally got into Sen Inhofe’s office phone line. Gave the girl the scoop. She reacted as if it were previously unknown to her.
I asked her to pass on the message that he should do what he can to stop it.
