Thanks. I went back to the original source, and got the address. I will be forwarding this to Cornyn and that useless wench, Hutchison. Let’s see if they make a stink about it if Kirk tries to enter the Senate after 8 PM EST tonight.
The above is the website with evidence that Senator Kirk cannot serve as a U.S. Senator after 8:00 P.M. EST tonight, regardless of what Massachusetts law says and regardless of how long it takes to qualify and seat his successor.
I contacted my 2 Senators by both email and telephone. The person answering the phone at Cornyn’s office sounded very excited, and said that she’d make certain that the Senator heard about this.
I ask all of you reading this to do the same - call and email your Senators (well, the Republican ones who would actually be interested, along with Lieberman, who seems to be a very rare bird - a fair-minded liberal). Let them know that there’s a groundswell opposing Kirk continuing as a Senator past tonight. That way they can raise a “Point of Order” and it won’t matter much if it takes 15 days or a month to qualify and seat Brown - because in the meantime the Dems will have 59 seats, 1 short of their 3/5 majority.
Send this to anyone you know who has an “in” with a Senator, or to anyone that has an “in” with Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly or Greta Van Susteren. It is IMPERATIVE that the word get out, and get out FAST - Paul Kirk cannot be allowed to take part in any Senate business after tonight.
