I just called into CSPAN Washington Journal and told people to call GE
at 203-373-2211 http://www.ge.com and give them an ultimatum.

GET THE GOP to END THE WAR or WE DON'T BUY YOUR PRODUCTS ANYMORE.

"The Republican party appears weak and vulnerable at the cash registers of those companies that donate money to them."

1. Hmmmmmmmmmm,
So you're not going to buy their products, eh?

Along with all the household appliances and jet engines you're not going to buy, you going to stop watching Keith O, too?

That's also one of the "products" they produce.

That's the problem with boycotting a big outfit like GE; they got their fingers in with the good part of the pie along with the bad parts.

3. Not an all or nothing proposition.
I will still watch Countdown.

However I have not bought any consumer products from GE.

11. Did you call General Electric and ask for the public relations department and tell them?
I did. I hope you and everyone you tell will call them.

4. Thank you. We need to take it to the GOP contributors.
GE has something to lose from this. Our money. The GOP congressmen and women only have something to lose 2 years from now. We can pressure GE every day. Call your GOP congressman and he will laugh at those who want to end this war.

Oh and Jimmy Carter never said the word malaise in his speech many years ago.

This segment will probably get repeated later today as well. Yes I have watched CSPAN for 27 and 1/2 years from the summer of 1979.

5. I heard you too. Well done!
Just wondering how many times you've got through in 27 and 1/2 years?

10. I have called in many times.
I use redial on my phone and speed dial so I can get in somewhat regularly. I don't call in exactly when I want every time but I get in often enough.

Number of times. I would estimate somewhere about 50 times in the last 27 1/2 years.

7. I know JC never used the word
but malaise sums up my feelings about the state of our planet.
