Make those calls!

[no dems]

It’s 8:31 in D.C. right now. Is that too early to call?

Senate -

until they give a vote on CCB - filibuster everything, hold everything.

Both of my Senators are Texas Pubbies, so, I called Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-WV) office. A live body answered right away. I was on hold for 4 1/2 minutes. I told the young lady I was calling to ask Sen. Manchin to vote for "Cut, Cap and Balance" and she said: "Yessir, I'll pass that right along to the Senator. Callers must be flooding the phone lines. CALL FOLKS CALL!

I lambasted Chambliss, my Senator, I got back a form letter with a bunch of lies about cutting spending, etc. No mention of $1 Trillion in new taxes (removing deductions, etc.)....I am never going to vote for him again, even in the most dire circumstance - I’ll vote for a damned Democrat first.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I would be literally stunned if the Senate voted for CCB!!! But....one never knows. But.....even if we lose, every Senator that voted nay will be on record to be defeated in November, 2012, or....the next time they are up for re-election!!! Of course, would love to see the bill pass the Senate and sent to Obama to veto!!!

I called both Webb and Warner in VA - and Manchin, WV Corker and Alexander (mine in TN).

Since Reid just wants a vote to “table” the bill - I just suggested that they allow it to go to the floor for debate and then I mentioned the recent CNN poll - 66% of American’s want a balanced budget.

Give it a chance.

All staff was very nice.

Tabling will give the Dems some cover...they can say that it was procedural..they must really think the American people are stupid...

[MNJohnnie]

On it!
