I've tried both Boxer and Feinstein, but get nothing but busy signals or "mail box full" messages. That's a good sign. That means citizens are burning down their switchboards. But they also have forms on their websites to send messages. Click the link above to contact your senators.
Here is the message I sent to both of my senators:
Please vote no on the pork package. If you want to stimulate the economy, stimulate business investment and hiring and give people more money to spend NOW, cut the taxes. Cut business and investment taxes. Cut the payroll tax. Cut the personal income tax. Don't burden us or our children with trillions of dollars in crippling new debt. You cannot tax, borrow and spend your way into prosperity. The Chinese are going to eat your lunch! Scratch that. They've already eaten your lunch. They're now eating your home!
Regards,
Jim Robinson
I heard on FOX news that Feinstein is actually considering voting no. Now is the time to call. Put the pressure on and keep it on! The people do not want this trillion dollar boondoggle! Time for the senate to get a taste of the wrath of the people!!
Just got done calling and emailing. No to Porkulus II.
What effing traitors!!!
FReeped Isakson and Chamblis from Georgia. Persons answering each phone said the senators were leaning toward ‘no’, but were waiting to see the final package before deciding. Sounds like the fix is in, folks.
I left a message for liberal Klbochar. Water off a duck’s back, but I guess my American duty.
Too bad Coleman’s not in.
Following, not Folloqing in post #98
Called Martinez’ office and get same.....voice mail full. Toll free number for U.S. Capitol switchboard been busy all day. Got thru to Vitter’s office to thank him for demanding that ACORN get NOTHING!!
Just got through, Feinstein’s office, and I was short and to the point, NO STIMULUS BILL!
thanks for Nelson’s number. Can’t get thru to Martinez...voice mail full. Will keep trying....
Jim, that’s a fine message. :)
Calling Chambliss’ office.....I sent money for his campaign...and I’m not from GA. I expect him to stand for what’s right for America!
Sorry calling Kerry or Kennedy will not sway them to do the right thing
Got through to Evan Bayh’s office. (FINALLY)
The poor girl at the end of the phone sounds stressed.
And to think, I worked for this guy on his first campaign for Governor, oh so many years ago.
“in order to put pressure on weakling Senators to pass this bill. Lugar would be one of them, possibly Evan Bayh too.”
MoveOn has been running commercials to pressure Lugar to vote for PORKULUS, but I think this visit is to pressure EVAN BAYH...
He’s effectively the head of the so-called “Blue-Dog” caucus, and it’s THOSE VOTES that Obama needs the most.
Bayh may be a Dem, but he is no idiot. He’s getting TONS of pressure from the folks back home today (Including me)
I managed to get a real person in the local office of both my senators. In both cases, they both listened to my message and told me they will pass it to the Senator.
This is better than Voting! I'm going to do it more often.
Who is John Galt?
Livin’ the life in Galt’s Gulch over here.
I just called both Maryland Senators (Dems unfortunately) and registered my strong opposition to the stimulus bill.
Howdy, former cheesehead!:)
