Apparently the big cloture vote is Thursday; keep the communications coming.

Good idea. If they lose the money, that's the time they pay attention. Hit the GOP with a refund demand. That's the clearest way you can the Open Borders folks in the party a message.

Malkin bump.

Under the Beck decision, unions have to refund that portion of dues spent on political activity that union members disagree with — why should Senators be any different?

I think the Beck decision only applies in cases of closed shop (required membership) unions. Open shop unions and political parties are voluntary orgainzations, thus the Beck decision wouldn't apply to them.

I quit contributing to a lost cause a long time ago.

Michelle Malkin has a great idea — people who've donated (however small the amount) to the GOP campaign committees or to any of the Ted Kennedy Republicans should call and demand a refund.

Better yet, Conservatives should leave the increasingly socialistic Republican party and form their own party.

HA....WHO still gives to THEM?

The way I see (thought I could be wrong) is that the BIG cloture vote was yesterday.

The GOP member of the Senate had a chance to kill of this monstrosity once and for all - and they didn’t.

I see this bill passing the Senate in a few days - once many “dissenting” Senators are placated by being given small concession in the bill.

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Yeah! I want my $1.00 back!!

Sent the dollar in an RNC envelope with a note that my usual donation would go to the MinuteMan project and individual candidates.

Why can't politicians be sued for breech of contract???

They would refund our money in pesos, and we all know those are worthless.

[Abathar]

If I had some money to burn I would write them a $1k check, then put a stop payment on it even if it does cost me the fee. When they call to ask what the problem was I would then bend their ear as to why I did it.

“....organizing primary or general election challenges, or recalls, is what will really get a Senator’s attention...” By that time it will be too late, and the damn bill will be law, and Senator Kennedy will be laughing in his scotch. Oh, and there is no recall for Senators. Apparently they have to remove each other.

[apocalypto]

Good comments.

OK, OK, so I was a year too soon on this same "ask for a refund" suggestion when last spring I got it pulled by the big guy himself. My pulled thread.

Just happy to see y'all have come around. :-)

[ElkGroveDan]

I want back all that shoe-leather I’ve worn out walking precincts.
