If your Rep is voting NO, email a "thank you" (vanity)
vanity | 3/21/10 | me

Posted on 03/21/2010 3:36:07 AM PDT by Daisyjane69

If you have been like me, and pestering your Rep. to vote NO on this vile bill, this morning is prolly the time to email them a brief thank you.

Understand that they are going to have a target on their back today, and will be under enormous pressure to switch sides. It will stiffen their spine so they can tell Pelosi and Obama to POUND SAND, if they have received hundreds of "thank yous" from their constituents.

I already emailed my Rep on this.

Good idea. We yell at them often enough. An “atta boy” would be good too, and as you point out, will help them keep a stiff spine. My representative, Bill Posey (Fla.), has been as close to my way of thinking of any representative our area has produced.

I’ll just vote her out in November. That’ll be thanks enough.

Oh, and one more thing, while I’m thinking about it.

If you would like to make sure that someone actually prints out your email and puts it on the Reps desk in the morning, start it out this way:

“Dear Representative Dipshit,

First, I would like to compliment you on your gracious and professional staff during these stressful times....(and then get to your point)

:)

Not so fast! Some are allowed to vote NO by Pelosi if they are in a red swing district. Some, like Comrad Kusinich would vote NO simply because the bill wasn’t liberal enough or doesn’t include a Public Option. I would only bother to send a thank you if the bill is defeated.

And, my Representative, Dan Chandler, announced several days back that he would vote, “No.” His Grandfather, “Happy” Chandler, one of the great Democrats and a great KY Governor, would be proud of him. Happy was not and could never have been a Democrat today. I know that because my cousin worked closely with him when he was Governor. I called Dan a couple of times and I will thank him for standing strong at this crucial time in our history.

oh no, I mean those with the courage to announce it AHEAD of time, like mine did. Not when the vote is winding down!

No thank yous for quislings!

My 'Rat congresscritter, Lincoln Davis, voted no on the original House health control boondoggle bill, but now he's "undecided". He voted for TARP and Porkulus. Even if he somehow grows a set of nads and votes against the health control boondoggle again my plan is to work to get him unseated come November. This guy is a dim bulb at best. I've met him on several occasions and he's a slimy as it gets.

I sent Rep. Posey a thank you e-mail. I hope it makes him feel as good reading it as it did me writing it. BTW, he has on his web site an excellent list of what the healthcare bill will do. See

http://posey.house.gov/healthcarefactcheck/

There are many links on his site to additional facts. Too many links to post here.

I didn’t fax but I did thank a Mollohan staffer yesterday for Mollohan being counted as a no vote. She lost it and asked where I had heard that. I mentioned it was out on the internet. I also thanked the staffer for the work she was doing.

This is from a 2007 contact list of congressional aides. Some might not be there any longer, but worth a try. The ones on the one post are senate aides, a few have bounced back, it’s worth the effort to clog up their email system along with the phones, and 1/3rd of these senators are up for re-election.

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes. Ask them how much their bribe price is.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Sunday March 21st.

Good idea from the bloggers at Hillbuzz:
http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/17/action-items-march-17th-2010/
They offer specifics and links on how to put pressure on Dem DONORS, who have private numbers for legislators who may have taken their phones off the hook.
Congress may not want to hear from us, but they’ll listen to the money men.

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!
