CALL YOUR SENATORS -- TELL THEM GOP WON THE ELECTION -- GOP COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN NEEDED ASAP

For those of you that may not know, the DemocRATs in control of the Senate Minority led by ms. clinton (don't be fooled by anyone -- she is calling the shots) have decided not to recognize the results of the last election and are maintaining Committee Chairmanship until the Republicans give them what they want.

The Memo below from Roll Call in October laid out their plans. What the DemocRATs did not expect was a Republican controlled Senate so now they are refusing to vote on a continuing resolution to keep the Government running and thus hand over control of the Senate Committees. It is to try and force Republicans to cave into their demands or Republicans will get no Committee Chairmanships. What they want is equal funding for Committees and 50/50 shared committees which is not an option.

There is a thread running about the Senate actions today at:

EVERYONE SHOULD BE WATCHING C-SPAN2

Right now we have 11 newly elected Senators that do not have Committee assignments because of this DemocRAT Obstructionist tactic.

Call your DemocRAT Senators (you have my sympathy) and let them know as a taxpayer you will not tolerate this stunt of theirs to withhold Committee Chairmanships from Republicans. Remind them that there are 11 new Senators without Committees and you are holding them responsible for this attempt on the part of the DemocRATs to hijack the Senate!

If you have Republican Senators, call them and tell them to keep up the fight and that we are behind them 100%!

Please call your Senators now. If you would like their phone numbers, you can find them at:

GOOD IDEA... I CALLED AND REGISTERED MY DISGUST

[Wphile]

Cantwell made her money because she was sleeping with the guy that created RealNetworks. She is a loser, through and through, and doesn't have a clue. Murray is...well, I don't think there are words available to describe her stupidity. Actually HER words do a pretty fine job of that.

Cantwell did vote for the Iraq resolution but other than that...she just does what the leadership tells her to do.

Reminder to use your cell phone if you have the necessary minutes.

Why???

[Lady Eileen]

..........call has been made.........thanks for the post.

[WVNan]

Hopeless Byrd bump.

[Howlin]

I know he is a fine man. I just wonder WHY he made this separate agreement. He tied Frist hands with the other committees by going outside the "group." Of course, he very well could have made this agreement when Lott was still ML and he just did it in hopes that was ALL Lott would give them.......LOL.

[GreenCell]

I've called both my Republican Senators and chewed out the poor individual who answered the phone on the ineptness of the Republicans to fight for their just won rewards. I also told them that the time for the kid gloves treatment of the Democrats is long-gone...just fight like a democrat...

Brit Hume is going to talk about this on his show - on now.

Whatever happened with Maria and the money she borrowed against her stock.....before it tanked.....has she paid it all back?..

[Timesink]

TOLL-FREE NUMBER TO CONGRESS: 877-762-8762

[OReilly]

Sure wish I had some one other than Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to call. Sigh.

That's as bad as my situation...
I've got Sarbanes and some other Rat that looks like a fire-plug... when you meet her in person.

[Howlin]

Oh, great!

[Inspectorette]

Go Brit!!!

[surrey]

Hey, I'm insulted you left out me and the other poor souls here in Massachusetts! To be honest I think NY may have the worst duo but that's a tough call. I don't even think I would trade FAT TEDDY for the Hildebeast. At least we know Ted's in the home stretch.

[ken5050]

You're right, of course....Mass merits a nomination.....objectively speaking....it's gotta go to MD....

[OldBlondBabe]

"Sure wish I had some one other than Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to call
Well, I have to deal with Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold -- equally as bad. "

Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow here. Useless. I e-mailed them both and asked for their support for Bush's tax cuts....Stabenow answered me --- the form letter of course, but at least she responded. Never heard jack-sh*t from "hard working, roll-up-the-sleeves" Carl.

I don't know. I know she was raising money in Hillary Clinton's mansion in DC. This, from the woman who wouldn't take any PAC money or some such nonsense. I'll have to check this out and find out what happened.
