That brings up a parallel notion to AB's proposal. We need to watch the pols, particularly the ones on "our side," and call them on things they do and say. This kind of stuff is always most effective when it comes from a constituent, so we'll need to put out a call for FReepers local to an individual politician when we catch them at something, but we should all be keeping an eye on all of them and bringing it up here on FR.
I'm going to add info to my about page listing the politicians who I have access to vote for (or against). I'm also going to encourage others to do the same.
The top of the list is
Senator Lamar Alexander (soon to be Minority Whip?)
Senator elect Bob Corker
Representative Marsha Blackburn
I'll get the complete list, including state and county offices, and put it on my about page. I'll also get the list of committee assignments they're each on.
I'll work on a tag line or a standard disclaimer that I'll add to posts soliciting comments on those on my list. Something like
I get to vote for Senator Lamar Alexander, Senator Bob Corker and Representative Marsha Blackburn. Have you heard or seen them do or say anything that they need to hear from a constituent about? Please ping me about anything related to them.
If it had not been for all those racist rednecks, Ford would have won Tennessee. According to the MSM.
Alas they forgot to tell us why Steele was not elected in Maryland........ racist liberals?
Representative Marsha Blackburn is my kind of girl and I would be happy to see her in any leadership form. She deserves it.
