Congressional phones are busy with "VOTE NO" calls
Local | June 26, 2009 | From The Deer Stand

Posted on 06/26/2009 6:38:44 AM PDT by From The Deer Stand

Thousands of Americans are calling their congressmen and women encouraging them to vote no on the Cap & Trade bill. After receiving busy signals in many congressional offices I have turned to the fax machine and was able to get several to go through. Keep hammering away at the congressional phones, and the local district phones. This job-killing, high-taxing bill has to be defeated and those who vote in favor have to be told to enjoy their final term in Congress.

We need a lot of hooks to pull the bums outta the WH and Congress

Goldman Sachs and GE will do well under Crap & Trade - and those who pay no taxes will make out like bandits

The American middle-class will pay through the nose for gasoline, electricity, food, vehicles, mamdatory government Obamacare, fed, state, local income taxes, sales taxes, “fees” galore

Still no story on my ISP’s. They know what they have done. They want to keep it very quiet while everyone concentrates on what a heroic figure Michael Jackson was.

Yes, I’ve been warning my kids that everything will be going up. I can’t stop it and those who could won’t.

Those in Congress get free vehicles, gasoline or diesel fuel, maintenance, expense accounts -

They will not be affected by Crap & Trick and will actually further enrich thenmselves with the insider trading tips those politicians in DC have always gotten

Of course those in Congress and the WH staffers will not be taxed on their elitist medical coverage - as the unions will not be taxed either

This is starting to smell like 1994 again - James Carville warned the democrats that things were getting dicey now

Those in Congress have always got that stuff so there’s no use in dwelling on it and raising your blood pressure as you can’t stop it.

I’ve read there are rats in the kitchen of their dining room, lol.

Somewhere today I saw a wonderful email from a grandfather to his grandaughter. Can’t recall if I got it or saw it here. Maybe Nit sent it. Good one to send out to people.

Yup

She sent it

Good email!

Parents should do the same to their college kids who voted for The Messiah:

Sorry - Try a parttime job or two or apply for a bailout - We can no longer pay your tuition and car insurance and your food and clothing expenses

Hope your new job does not interfere with your beer parties at your fraternity and dating and liberal political interests.

The younger siblings will get the message Proto

Yeah, I went and looked and she sent it to us and I just sent it out to relatives and friends. The name of the grandaughter made me laugh.

Lol, devolve, this stuff is making you mad at everything. Parents have ‘usually’ paid their kids college tuition, cars, etc, until they graduate and get a good paying job.

But now the left has targeted college students and turned them against their parents

These days so many students expect a luxury ride with no effort on their part

Just like when you got a used car in HS -

Now the HS kids expect a Bimmer

I doubt they have 1% of the fun we did

I guess it depends on the kids. No doubt it influences even the best of them.

There was a good article in my paper awhile back from a college professor. He called the X generation the “I want it” generation and he called the Y generation the “You owe it to me” generation!! It was surprising to see a professor write that.

The young nowadays have a whole different lifestyle and I don't envy them one bit. Fast and loose, crude and rude..

Sounds like a good article in your paper

The spoiled kids will be paying for their votes for Obama for the rest of their lives - bigtime

Wait until amnesty gets passed and the grads face companies who will lower standards to hire illegals and have laid off staff and downsized production and expenses

They are in for a big surprise. I’ve already seen the effects on some in my family who had big high paying jobs. My son at Kimberly Clark, etc.

I believe the unemployment rate will get over 12% before we know it

And Obama is stacking the low number like Clinton did for years

I’m interested in seeing what Roger Penske does with his Saturn line now - he sells and services AUDI and Porsche cars and is involved in NASCAR now as well as sportscar racing
