Let’s educate him:

PLEASE NOTE: The only way you can educate these spineless idiots in Congress is to hit them in the pocket book!

All fund raising letters we get from RNC are returned with comments that as long they are NOT asking for all of Hussein's sealed records, BC, Passport, college records (application forms) they will not receive one single dime from us!!

I recommend that everyone do the same!!!

RE: "The only way you can educate these spineless idiots in Congress is to hit them in the pocket book!"

Well there is (used to be) one other way.

In the summer of 1989, Mr. Rostenkowski, then a congressman from Illinois and the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was besieged by a crowd of 50 senior citizens in Chicago . . . the protesters -- shouting "coward," "recall" and "impeach" -- forced him to sprint through a gas station to his car. . .

The protesters were angry about [a new Medicare law] . . .That law was soon repealed. But the television images of Mr. Rostenkowski under assault struck fear in the hearts of politicians . . .

"Politicians were traumatized by the Rostenkowski episode," said Henry J. Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

[End quotes]

.. but let's wait to get their attention this way until Gitmo is closed. :)
