Email Senator Specter's Chief of Staff and encourage the Senator to vote against the Card Check Bill. We really need to hammer him on this. Let's put a lot of pressure on him:

Pressure has never worked on Specter before therefore I doubt it would start working now.
Right. He obviously feels he can do whatever he pleases.
I was at a meeting yesterday where his Chief of Staff spoke. Someone asked him about the Card Check Bill and he said the Senator was “undecided” and that his decision is dependent on which side he feels the most pressure from.
Of course, he didn’t take that position on the Porkulus Bill, however, what choice do we have? Why not take 30 seconds to write an email?
As one of his long suffering constituents I will never forget the GOP and Bush administration heavily backing Specter over Pat Toomey in his primary fight. The Quislings insisted that "we must protect this seat" and "Specter is our only hope".
Now we all get to eat it.
“Someone asked him about the Card Check Bill and he said the Senator was “undecided” and that his decision is dependent on which side he feels the most pressure from.”
So how does Specter define ‘pressure?’
ROFLOL! Specter OWES the unions big time from his last election and is dependent on them (and the Democrats) to get him elected again. NO WAY will he cross them. Trying to influence him on this is like trying to influence him on anything - FUTILE - unless you want him to vote for something the Democrats are proposing.
I think it’s a waste of time for someone in Florida to call a Penn senator. It never works unless his constitutients do the pressuring. But truthfully, they don’t care no matter who calls.
The only time Specter felt any pressure was 4 years ago when he was faced with an actual primary opponent. A conservative, no less. Then of course, our imbecile White House occupant and Ricky Santorum decided to campaign for Arlen...you know, because he was such a proud, true, dependable and honorable “republican.” Well that was the final moronic act which cost Santorum his seat. And the rest of us have been paying for that RINO lunacy ever since. My suggestion is for a dozen actual Americans to grab that a$$hat Specter by the scruff of the neck, throw him in his car and tell him he has just been fired. Return to his office at his own peril. And Arlen would only be for starters.
How the heck do they know if you are from PA or not based on your email?
The point is to flood their office. Emails, calls, faxes, etc.
Why are we wasting time asking questions about how and when to pressure someone? Just do it. The left is doing it.
What is 30 seconds to write and email? His chief of staff won’t respond, obviously. But, I know for a fact that he will forward it on to their correspondence staff and they will take account of the email.
So how does Specter define ‘pressure?’
***The only “pressure” he responds to is when he has a cut on “HIMSELF” and wants to stop the bleeding. It’s all about “him.”***
