Excellent article! Thanks for posting it.
Contacting Boxer would be a complete waste of time, but Feinstein is not a complete fool. She should know what the democrats did to California and we need to beg her not to allow Obama and his minions to do for the US what Grey Davis and Arnold Schwartzenegger and the democrats have done for California.
This bill is a train wreck. We need to pull the brake lever now or it will be too late.
I just got through to the San Diego office and begged them to tell Diane Feinstein to vote against this horrible bill and not to saddle my children and grandchildren with another trillion dollars in debt.
I was very polite. I just hope she is listening.
"The Age of Obama begins with perhaps the greatest frenzy of old-politics influence peddling ever seen in Washington. By the time the stimulus bill reached the Senate, reports the Wall Street Journal, pharmaceutical and high-tech companies were lobbying furiously for a new plan to repatriate overseas profits that would yield major tax savings. California wine growers and Florida citrus producers were fighting to change a single phrase in one provision. Substituting "planted" for "ready to market" would mean a windfall garnered from a new "bonus depreciation" incentive."
"After Obama's miraculous 2008 presidential campaign, it was clear that at some point the magical mystery tour would have to end. The nation would rub its eyes and begin to emerge from its reverie. The hallucinatory Obama would give way to the mere mortal. The great ethical transformations promised would be seen as a fairy tale that all presidents tell -- and that this president told better than anyone."
I thought the awakening would take six months. It took two and a half weeks."
