Take names and vote them out of office.

I doubt that is going to work, it’s too far gone. Now ACORN has billions. Voting isn’t going to cut it. The financiers of these crooks are bigger than us.

I fired off an email to Sen McCaskill, The Dem from Missouri. On her home page she bragged about teaming up with McCain to introduce legislation to stop government waste. What a hypocrite!
Below is the text of my email..

Senator McCaskill,

How can you vote for the $800 billion stimulus bill when you can’t even read the final version of the bill before voting?? We were told there was going to be a 48 hour public review of the stimulus. How can anyone read through over 600 words per minute and thoroughly research the bill in less that 12 hours?

It is totally irresponsible to vote on something so important, but not thoroughly studied.

You have totally forgotten another headline on your home page about joining with McCain to stop wasteful spending. Here is the text...

“Washington, D.C. – As Congress gets to work in the New Year, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today reached across the aisle with Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) to colleagues Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Tom Coburn (R-OK) to introduce a major earmark reform bill that would cut down on wasteful government spending.”

You are a hypocrite Senator McCaskill!! Just like the rest of this so called Obama administration of “transparency and accountability”. If you can vote for the stimulus bill as it sits, knowing there are billions of dollars going to waste, and sleep good tonight, so be it.

We won’t forget next election. The master you serve is not the people you represent.

Defiantly,

o_zarkman44

I had no trouble getting through! Please call! I talked to both my Illinois Senators offices and told them to stop rushing this through and start over. Durbins office said it is posted at thomas.gov or org? The aide said you can search by topic if you do controlF? I told her rushing this through in this manner is just plain WRONG!

This monstrosity has grown to over 1500 pages. No one will be able to read it or comprehend it in 48 hours.

WHAT??? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
It’s coup, plain and simple. The outcome of this mess isn’t going to be pretty.

Re: FMLA and your comment, “The company can charge off vacation days until you exhaust those. After that, they still have to allow the full 12 weeks (60 days) of leave. It can be taken one day a week.”

Where I work the rule is: “Any leave, with or without pay, which is designated as leave under FMLA will countagainst the employee’s FMLA entitlement. The substitution of paid vacation or sick leave during FMLA leave does not extend the employee’s FMLA entitlement.”

Let me suggest one correction:
We must start calling it the Democrat Stimulus Wasteful Spending and Trillion Dollar Debt Expansion Bill and make them take responsibility from now on.

Congress re-enacts the beheading of Daniel Pearl on this Friday 13th vote to pass the spending bill. Symbolic of the lack of responsible leadership in our government today.

WOW!!! From Senator Brown's web site:

"If marching and talking don't resolve these very serious issues I believe that we have the right to forcefully remove the treacherous few from office by what ever means the public seems fit. Obama's buddy Bill Ayers used bombs and Obama felt that his actions were justified I don't think we need that type of action, but since we don't have any tea to throw overboard we need to find another way to get the attention of the corrupt politicians and compliant media. "
