I've tried both Boxer and Feinstein, but get nothing but busy signals or "mail box full" messages. That's a good sign. That means citizens are burning down their switchboards. But they also have forms on their websites to send messages. Click the link above to contact your senators.
Here is the message I sent to both of my senators:
Please vote no on the pork package. If you want to stimulate the economy, stimulate business investment and hiring and give people more money to spend NOW, cut the taxes. Cut business and investment taxes. Cut the payroll tax. Cut the personal income tax. Don't burden us or our children with trillions of dollars in crippling new debt. You cannot tax, borrow and spend your way into prosperity. The Chinese are going to eat your lunch! Scratch that. They've already eaten your lunch. They're now eating your home!
Regards,
Jim Robinson
I heard on FOX news that Feinstein is actually considering voting no. Now is the time to call. Put the pressure on and keep it on! The people do not want this trillion dollar boondoggle! Time for the senate to get a taste of the wrath of the people!!
Senator Ensign has already assured us that he will vote against this package. Unfortunately, our other senator is the one & only Harry Reid.
I sent his office the message too but I added to the end a little reminder, "please remember that you were elected to represemt your constituents, not to further your own agenda." Yeah, like he cares. . .
Honorable Senator McConnell:
I am writing to you today not only to urge you to vote AGAINST the economic "stimulus" package IN ANY FORM, but also to ask that you use any power you may have as Senate Minority Leader to make sure that EVERY REPUBLICAN SENATOR opposes this socialist spending bill.
A single Republican vote in favor of it will show that the GOP in Washington is inept, irrelevant and unwilling to follow the will of the American people. As Senate Minority Leader, it is YOUR DUTY to make sure that Senate Republicans stand with their House counterparts and send a resounding message to the socialists, to Obama and to America that WE WILL BE HEARD.
Anything less than a NO vote on the bill IN ANY FORM by Senate Republicans is UNACCEPTABLE.
Thank you for your time.
I talked with a staff member for Senator Nelson (D-FL) and told her my opinion and how he will be out of a job next election if he votes yea on this pork bill.
The voice mail boxes for Senators, Snowe, Collins, and Spector are completely jammed. Some democracy, HA!
Your #39-—That link worked great. I was able to send emails to Specter, Snowe and Collins....
Also contacted Dem Senators Nelson and Pryor...
Just called—her mailbox is full.
Try the link at post #39- I got thru to everyone using those email addresses...
I emailed her...I really wanted to call. I got through to Chuck’s voicemail in Albany: (518) 431-4070.
I've always felt the same way with the lack of representation from Schumer and Clinton but IF enough of us hound them they just might pay attention. Worth a shot in any event.
