"These unhappy Republicans are NOT going to vote in Pelosi and Reid to leadership of the House and Senate. Unhappy Republicans are signalling their Republican office holders to go on offence. We have six months for them to show that they get the message."
I tend to agree w you, maica, though I know that there appear to be some one-issue voters on FR (illegal immigration issue).
Many/most of you may already be aware of this, but, the first time I heard about it was last night (I've been working a lot this week, so haven't had much time for FReeping - - I hate when that happens ;-)
Anyway, I was listening to Jerry Doyle when driving home from dinner at he had the person on who started the "Send a Brick to Congress" effort. For $11.99 they will send a brick to your congress critter with whatever message you want. Or, you can do it yourself. She said some folks had have decorate a brick parties and send their own.
Apparently, they've sent 4,000 bricks, just through their web site. Dingy Harry even got one that said, "Secure Our Borders".
They thought that this would be more effective than email, letters, etc since they can't shred a brick, they'll be in the congresscritter's office to remind them how the public feels about illegal immigration and securing our borders, and, the bricks can be used to build the wall.
Here's a link to their web site,

"The Send-A-Brick Project was created by concerned citizens to send bricks to Washington encouraging our Congressmen to stand tough on border security.
Each brick sends a message to our Senators and Representatives that we want our borders secured before any other action is taken on illegal immigration."
You must admit... the Tox-up, haircut and de-popbeadisation (who knew... and it's spring), means she has hired Carson (Queer Eye), to pep up her image.
And a khaki blazer?...
Yes, I heard that discussion re Send a Brick while I was sleeping.
Think I'll replay the show this PM. They gave verbal instructions about a mailer that anyone can purchase for under 5 dollars that will cover the whole deal.
That way, I can send more bricks!
I saw some and heard it discussed on F&F this week. Evidently some are sending bricks in the flat rate envelope for around $4.
