Email Addies bracketed by ** are questionable, but if followed by another address, try that one.

Always be courteous, but firm, even adamant, if you are of a strong opinion about something.

Consider the tactic of sending links to articles you think these people should know about, something along the lines of,

"You *need* to read about this...."

I know you probably have seen these before- what I'd like to ask you all to do is flag those you know with activist inclinations to this post- and feel free to copy any & all of these and send them on to others as well. Note the caveats I listed above- not everyone likes to hear from us!

Thanks. You are a great asset to this forum.

[backhoe]

( ~blush!~ )-- well, thanks- my wife would probably agree with the "asset" part...

"He sets on his a$$ real good- now if I could just git him 't get up 'n do some of the housework around here...."

Seriously, the e-world makes communicating so easy that there's no excuse for anyone not being at least a low-level activist anymore.... even the most inarticulate can get up a list, make a link, and say "Read *this*-- so why don't you 'watchdogs of the press' investigate and report on this story?"

I've published all those links & addies before, but this is the first time I felt like adding 500 or so line breaks to the dam' things! Whew!

Thanks for these information threads, backhoe. We appreciate it. Say....have you seen anything posted showing the 22 terrorists wanted posters? I'm not on line enough to keep up.

[backhoe]

( slapping head to jar brane into gear.... ) I saw those wanted posters somewhere here yesterday! Where?

The world has always had, and will always have, a reservoire of "Clinton"-type scumbags, rats and irresponsible boobs. If we want to keep these types out of government, and especially out of the White House, WE MUST REPEAL THE 19TH AMENDMENT NOW.

Note to all: Repeal the 19th Amendment and you won't see any boobs, irresponsible or not!

Signed,
the Women of America

Thank you kindly for looking... gee, I wonder what that deleted reply was all about?

[samtheman]

Excellent list. I'm going to be busy typing.

[backhoe]

Thanks for looking- an earlier, shorter version usually started with "you can annoy a lot of people with these...."

I suggest that in sending paper letters to your two US Senators and one US Representative that you use DHL or Fedex or any other private mailer. Several advantages:

1. Probably no unsolicited mail through the US post office is being opened in Congress these days.

2. The express mail has your correct name and address clearly identifying you as a voter in that person's district/state.

3. Someone in the office has to sign for the delivery of the letter.

4. It has the look of an important piece of correspondence and thus immediately attracts more attention (good attention, not scary attention).

5. It shows that you are serious enough about this issue to invest a few dollars in making sure that your opinion is heard.

Also, I completely agree with the advice to be polite but firm. We are writing these letters for maximum result, not to blow off steam. Blow off steam here in the forum, write letters to your representatives with results in mind. Best to include some statement about, "your action on this issue will determine whether or not I vote for you in the next election".

Good advice... and a little courtesy goes a long way.
