freep this Phone: SacBee Call Sen. Cox and urge him to be a hero (Barf alert)
Sacramento Bee ^ | Feb. 15, 2009 | SacBee editors

Posted on 02/15/2009 3:02:02 PM PST by fifedom

"a single vote by state Sen. Dave Cox, R-Fair Oaks, could determine if the Legislature saves California from going over a financial cliff." ... we urge you to call Cox' senate office (916-651-4001) immediately. Urge him to seek a reasonable resolution of the budget crisis, and not shy away from making the tough, but necessary, choices.

I think the choice we want here on Free Republic is not what the SacBee has in mind, but Cox and Maldonado, and the rest need to hear from us. This whole act may be "boob-bait for the bubbas" (i.e. us) but what else do you have to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon?

Did someone say SacBee editors?

The best and brightest Bee brains opined within hours of 9/11/2001 that it was (partly) our fault. You see, we don't try to "understand" the rest of the world. We've been mean.

Within a few weeks of 9/11/2001 the publisher of the Bee was out bashing President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft while defending accused terrorists. The publisher, Ms Heaphy, was actually booed off the stage at a local university. The Bee employees promptly went to a writin' about how ignorant the audience was.

I don't want to touch a Bee or go near its web site.

If you can get a free copy, it works well as fish wrap, lining for bird cages and substrate for potty training puppies. Employed in that fashion, it is not a total waste of paper.

I called and urged him to be a hero. I told him to stand his ground and make the Democrats make the sacrifices.

Every now and then, the throw the whole neighborhood a free copy. I canceled my subscription a long time ago, but when I get a free copy, I look through it, and then happily throw it in recycling.

Jim, does someone have a ping list so that a few thousand FReepers can call this number and encourage him to stand his ground?

Cox needs to hear from his own constituents.

If you live in the first Senate District - which includes Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Lassen, Modoc, Mono, Plumas, Sierra and parts of Nevada, Placer and Sacramento counties - we urge you to call Cox’ senate office

(916-651-4001) immediately.

Call me Cazy, but this household always spends less than income.

Oh, and we provide no funds to illegals - save what our taxes finance.

Wonder if our legislators personal financial statements reflect spending within their means (minus lobbyist perks)?!?

The leftist Bee trying to kill of the last of the GOP in Kalifornia with this vote.
I am overjoyed this leftist rag and its owners are going BROKE.
I called Dave’ office earlier and got the poor girl answering to laugh by telling her that Dave is doing the right thing since his sworn enemy the Bee is suddenly advising him how to kill off the Repub party.
