1. Love your posts, man.
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 01:02 PM by SILVER__FOX52
I have been sending emails to the whitehouse for months. Some of them are pretty angry but I always sign them and give them my phone number or address, so they don't think I'm some kind of crackpot. I have been wondering if I might get a visit from the Homeland Security, shit birds. But not yet. I guess that's good. I wonder if that would have been true under bush? I hated him so much, I would not even listen to him TV let alone send emails. I would change the channel the minute I seen that smucks face. I am so disappointed in Obama and his fealty to the Corporations and I feel so deserted. If it wasn't for people like you and your wife, I would have nothing. PS: I'm going to Washington, DC to demonstrate on October 2, just FYI. Hope to see others.

2. K&R
Thanks, Raoul.

I've written and called the sons of a bitches. Many times. I think millions of us have called and signed petitions. But I don't think they care. One corporate donor equals millions of us. But I won't quit tying.

4. That's cool!
But I was thinking along the lines of us coordinating and specifying our messages. IE - all of us send an email regarding our unemployed folks at the same time. Not necessarily the same wording - just the same or similar thoughts about it.

3. We must be twins
Practically EVERYTHING you said about the war criminal was the way I reacted. The mere sight of the m-fer made me ill.
And, what is the protest about on 10/2? I may be interested as well if enough of us show up.

5. Great post. Great ideas.
I also e-mail Obama and my congressman. I go to my congressman's constituent meetings, and always shake hands with him and talk to him.

Thanks for the tips.

6. Good work!
I assume your Congressperson is a progressive type, right?

7. Yes. Xavier Becerra. He's good so far, but he is on the
Cat Food Commission -- the Balance the Budget Commission, so we shall see what happens.

8. I checked him out on YouTube and
He's pretty impressive. I watched him sparring with 'them' over healthcare and another video mentioned him as being the assistant to the speaker of the House so he must be making inroads.
