Please contact Senator Lott as well as your Republican Senators to tell them to say "NO" to Jeffords!

I received this in email a short time ago. My recommendation is to contact Senator Lott via the information that I will post shortly!

Oops. I had already used the conservative alerts free address. I was on your Florida ping list and DO wish to be on your 2004 list. We will have our work cut out for us! From what I saw on Hardball last night, HRC is in for 2004.

There is precedent for Jeffords' stunt from an unlikely source:

Sir Winston Churchill joined the Labour party for a while when he was a back-bench MP back in the 20's or 30's. Can't remember why, but it turns out that he did come back to the Tories a few years later. Seems like this kind of treachery was not considered so odious in those days.

Of course, I still want to see Jeffords suffer for his duplicity. Hope he likes his new broom closet in the Senate office building basement.

Bump for a Freep tomorrow.

Senator Lott was on WABC radio this afternoon and said he had NO contacts with Jeffords about any switch and said that the NEW chairman of the committee was going to be excellent (paraphrasing here)........

Please do not react hysterically to every rumor designed to cause mischief......

[plain talk]

but we've set it up so you can send your message via Federal Express for only $9.95!

with all due respect to you (I appreciate what you're doing), I think this is pathetic, assinine and refuse to spend one red cent on beggin' Trent Lott to do what should be a no-brainer. If he screws this one up, I guess I just give up.

Now why would anyone send him a FedEx when you can get it there coast to coast in a couple of days for 37 cents?

Time for some strategery. Recall the story of "the Prodigal Son?" I suggest that Jeffords be welcomed back to the fold. He still has a vote. Give him the respect that his position requires and a chastened Jeffords is a vote that can be counted on. Senator-elect Coleman from Minnesota was interviewed and asked about the interim Senator that Gov Ventura appointed. Senator Coleman said that the Governor had the authority to make that choice and while it "screwed up" the chance for Coleman to get a leg up on the Seniority issue, he was not looking back but was looking forward to the job ahead.

Jeffords will be either with us or against us based on his "independent" actions. He's still a Senator so draw him in not cast him away, (you can work for his defeat come election time), but for now we want his vote!
