I will try to find more contact info on each in a little while. If you have contract info please post it. Thanks for all your FREEPER help and for all of us coming together on this issue.
I called Smith's office yesterday - he is out of the country (Bosnia) for the next week - how convenient!
“these Republicans have until July 2, 2009 to change their vote”
Explanation please. How do you re-cast a vote?
Try e-mails. The calls go to a machine that says it is full, at least with Mark Kirk.
I’m shocked that Chris Smith voted for this boondoggle.
In addition to calling all eight yesterday I also contacted John Boehner’s office to ask if he was trying to convince them to change their minds. An aide insisted the motion to reconsider was a mere formality and the votes could not be changed. She stated the motion to reconsider referred to an alternative Republican bill. She asked me if I ever watch CSPAN in order to make a weak attempt to explain the motion to reconsider is a standard procedure that occurs for many bills.
Sorry,Its a waste of time.The lobbyist have them all sewn up and the hell with what the voters want.The battle is now with the senate.Hopefully enough people will start paying attention to the screwing that is coming.

FYI
bump for later
What makes any of think they are going to listen this time, when they have proven time and again,,,they don’t care what you think!!!
MOTION TO RECONSIDERTypically, however, after announcing the result of a vote, the Speaker states that,
"without objection, a motion to reconsider is laid on the table." This uses up
the one opportunity to reconsider, and makes the result of the vote final.
LEGISLATIVE DAY OF JUNE 26, 2009On passage Passed by recorded vote: 219 - 212 (Roll no. 477).
"Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection."
In the words of Tony Soprano (fgedaboudit). The only vote that counts is Nov.’10, at which time these spineless gutless Rino hacks must be thrown out of office.
The deepest depths of hell are reserved for traitors.
Call these scum bags and remind them of that!
There is no such thing as five days to change their vote. A motion to reconsider has to be filed by the winning side, and the motion is good for one day only.
This vote stands.
Today, I attended a health care “listening session” given by Mike Castle, one of the eight GOP-ers that voted for this bill.
I couldn’t believe it—the entire crowd gave him an earful for an hour and a half, with not one person in favor of cap n trade. He even admitted that he received more calls opposed than in favor, which pretty much enraged the audience.
But he is a true believer in global warming.
I heard from someone who attended a similar session he had held yesterday mid state, that he received the same type of reception yesterday.
Where I live in Delaware ins in the GOP, conservative southern part of the state. The northern part is mpre populous and Dem.
It felt good to know that so many people were against him, against cap n trade and against government healthcare.
There’s still hope for this country.
