thanks.

I wonder when conservatives will finally take to the streets? All I ever hear is “I have a job”. I’ll bet many of the libs i the street have jobs too.. It is time the politicians in DC were scared to death of us..

Yep, he’s always good for helping out. He’s been a real help with Band of Mothers when they were there.

The best thing anyone could do is to bring along a video camera and ask politicians questions about the plan. Then, upload the response to Youtube. Just make sure they’re good questions designed to reveal the flaws in the

Lily ping.....I'm thinking Jason(?) from Hot Air might be good? Anyone want to email Hot Air?

caphillbabe, (Ms. Senate Cloakroom phone numbers idea :-))are you in the area or know people who could show up?

I really do want to be there but cannot. Do we have any other freepers from Maine that could come. This could have been perfect. I have a Maine RNC renewal on my desk that would be perfect to have on hand to visit Snowe and Collins.

The only problem with sending snail mail to Congress (or, really, any branch of government) these days is that, with all of the security screening that goes on, it's very slow (I've heard that it often takes weeks for a piece of mail to reach a Congressional office).

That is true. USPS gets it to the capital "mailroom" in decent time, but they screen every piece for nasty stuff (like Anthrax), and aren't in any particular hurry to get the mail through to the elected officials (especially when there's a lot of mail because of current "issues").

Oh to be single and sans dependents again!

Amen. I'm single, have dependents, and have been summonsed for jury duty Tuesday. Trifecta. Sheesh.

[LegendHasIt]

Wish I could, but I have a hard time getting away from here to go to the grocery store for a couple of hours, once a week.

But my thanks, and appreciation to all those who are willing and able to go and ‘raise heck’.

If I get my work done tonight, I could email my boss and change my scheduled vacation days for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.......

Would have to check the flights and see what could work for me.

Smacking my head (like I should ever forget)....Jason Mattera (featured on Hot Air) of confronting Murtha on the elevator about the Haditha Marines fame .....

Anyone want to contact Jason to see if he's interested?

I got to GWU so there is a chance I can come. Who else is in the area. I wish we had Bush back, we never had to deal with this kind of pork.

[do the dhue]

You aint done yet?

;-)

I am checking my points to see if I can get a free stay. call me.

Hooray Jim and anyone else going! I’m sorry that I cannot join you.

Thanks for the ping, jellybean.

If I didn’t have to be in court for our custody case ( for our grandson) I would be there. Girl, since you are on the east side of the state, maybe you can make it.

In the meantime, tell those nitwit senators how Dave Ramsey would stimulate the economy. It will take 93% less money than the porculus bill, will work this year, won’t take a new department to oversee it, and will generate income for the treasury dept.

1) For every company whose employee base increases (in otherword, if you hire more people than you fire) a $20,000 tax credit per employee. (That’s tax credit, not deduction) 3 million jobs = $60 billion cost.

2) For every person who buys a home a $20,000 tax credit.

Dave points out that homes... building, selling and fixing up, drive a large part of the economy, and when they start selling again a lot of people will get jobs. He also points out that every new hire at a company will begin to pay income tax, so that $60 billion cost will be reduced by the tax income.

As part of my own stimulus package, I am making my donation to Free Republic. Thanks Jim, for all you do.

I can drive....what hotel?

Oh DRAT! I'd love to be there and meet some FReepers!! I have a meeting with the property tax assessment board on Monday, (blooming idiots!) and a continuing education class on Tuesday. DRAT!
