How many times should I scribble "Fire Debbie Wasserman Schultz" on my DNC survey/mailer?

[NightWatcher]

I want to make sure that I get my point across without getting a visit from a black car with tinted windows and g-plates.

Oh my god, she is absolutely horrible. My pet hamster could do a better job than she has done.

Bring back the 50 State Strategy and quick the day-after the election crybaby act.

[bravenak]

1. Once. Use a big ass felt tip marker if you want to be noticed.nt

[bigwillq]

2. A brazillion!

[daleanime]

3. How much money do you have?

If you have enough, once will do. If not, it doesn't matter how many times you write it or how many people join you in the writing.

[NightWatcher]

6. I'm never giving another red cent. I read that this election will spend about 2-4 billion

I refuse to send in a few dollars that don't amount to a hill of beans compared to the big donors. Big money is going to buy this and they price me right out of the debate. I'll save my money for groceries, gas, and such.

[daleanime]

8. Exactly!

Big money is buying this and if your not money you're nothing.

[WillowTree]

4. How much ink do you have? How much time?

[Triana]

5. She's less than useless.

Ineffective. Absent. Lazy. Whatever. The Dem Party needs an ASS-KICKER and she ain't it.

[840high]

15. exactly.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

27. I think she's useful

to republicans.

[nichomachus]

7. O-M-G

Do you really think they read those things? LOL
They don't care what we think. Those are just to make us think they so.

[NightWatcher]

10. I know they don't care, especially since there's no money inside, but...

...maybe late one night DWS will have a few glasses of wine and decide to Google herself and see this thread. DU threads show pretty high in Google searches.

[dflprincess]

30. Yeah, but even if they don't read your message

at least sending the envelope back will cost them the postage.

[appalachiablue]

9. She should have been replaced by now, what's up?

[bvar22]

11. She should have been pushed to the curb back in 2008.

In 2008 Debbie Wasserman Schultz refused to endorse these 3 Democrats
who had won their Primaries and had a chance to win Republican seats:

Miami-Dade Democratic Party Chair Joe Garcia

Former Hialeah Democratic Mayor Raul Martinez

Democratic businesswoman Annette Taddeo

All three had won their local Democratic Primaries, and were challenging Hard Core Republican incumbents with whom Wasserman-Schultz had become cozy.
Not only did the head of the DCCC Red to Blue Program REFUSE to endorse these Democratic challengers,
but she appeared in person at at least one (possibly more) Campaign/Fundraiser for their Republican opponents.



FL-18, FL-21, FL-25: Wasserman Schultz Wants Dem Challengers to Lose
by: James L.

<snip>

Sensing a shift in the political climate of the traditionally solid-GOP turf of the Miami area, Democrats have lined up three strong challengers -- Miami-Dade Democratic Party chair Joe Garcia, former Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez, and businesswoman Annette Taddeo to take on Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, respectively.

While there is an enormous sense of excitement and optimism surrounding these candidacies, some Democratic lawmakers, including Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Kendrick Meek, are all too eager to kneecap these Democratic challengers right out of the starting gate in the spirit of "comity" and "bipartisan cooperation" with their Republican colleagues:

But as three Miami Democrats look to unseat three of her South Florida Republican colleagues, Wasserman Schultz is staying on the sidelines. So is Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Miami Democrat and loyal ally to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

This time around, Wasserman Schultz and Meek say their relationships with the Republican incumbents, Reps. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and his brother Mario, and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, leave them little choice but to sit out the three races.

"At the end of the day, we need a member who isn't going to pull any punches, who isn't going to be hesitant," Wasserman Schultz said.

Now, you'd expect this kind of bullshit from a backbencher like Alcee Hastings, but you wouldn't expect this kind of behavior from the co-chair of the DCCC's Red to Blue program, which is the position that Wasserman Schultz currently holds. Apparently, Debbie did not get Rahm's memo about doing whatever it takes to win:

The national party, enthusiastic about the three Democratic challengers, has not yet selected Red to Blue participants. But Wasserman Schultz has already told the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that if any of the three make the cut, another Democrat should be assigned to the race.

The bloggers also are furious with Rep. Kendrick B. Meek (D-Fla.), who similarly refuses to endorse the Democratic challengers to the three Cuban American Republicans.

They are calling for Wasserman Schultz to step down from her leadership role at the DCCC. And they're not letting up, even after one Florida liberal blogger reported that the congresswoman seemed "frustrated" by the blogs and had asked to "please help get them off my back."

This prompted even harsher reaction from perhaps the most influential of the progressive political bloggers, Markos Moulitsas, a.k.a. Kos, founder of Daily Kos, who wrote on his blog Wednesday: "On so many fronts, the Republicans are standing in the way of progress, on Iraq, SCHIP, health care, fiscal responsibility, corruption, civil liberties, and so on. Those three south Florida Republicans are part of that problem. And she's (Wasserman-Schultz) going to be 'frustrated' that people demand she do her job?"

Here are Kos comments on the Wasserman-Schultz betrayal of the Democratic Party:

A lot of time has passed since 2008, but I don't take these kinds of betrayals lightly,
and don't forget them easily.

cursed with a memory

[MohRokTah]

16. Agreed. eom

[Enthusiast]

41. Wasserman-Schultz has got to go. She's no better than Lieberman.

[Shrike47]

12. Those 'surveys' are just fund raisers, I'm sure they don't read them.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. Rinse Penus should be the one to resign. The the RNC could hire her. That would

actually help in 2016.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

14. More of us

need to follow your lead! I have written that I support individual candidates (like Alan Grayson, Bernie Sanders - well, the GOOD ones) only. But I'm going to register my wishes for Rep. Wasserman from now on, too.

Thanks for posting this.

K&R

[Terra Alta]

17. as many times as possible.

She has been an absolute disaster. Wish we still had Howard Dean and his 50 State Strategy, we sure wouldn't be in the mess we are now if we did.

[eridani]

18. I did that for a long time. Result--they no longer send me surveys n/t

[LiberalElite]

20. So, there is hope -

I get these membership renewal things from them and think "FU DNC" and throw them out. I figured there was no getting through to them that didn't involve sending them money, WHICH I WILL NOT DO.

[ChosenUnWisely]

39. I saved my political junk mail and once I get enough I send the DNC junk mail to the RNC and the RNC

junk mail to the DNC, it is so nice of them to provide the free postage too!

I no longer get junk mail from either!

[cascadiance]

19. I wonder if she'd fight less the efforts to have Obama impeached...

... than she did fighting the efforts to impeach Bush back in the day when that was the question!

She's always on the "right" (or make that the WRONG) side of things!

[jimruymen]

21. corrupt and inept

She and Steve Israel are vying for who can hurt the Democratic Party the most with their self-serving "leadership." When I receive a solicitation from her I always return the email with the caveat "fire her and I'll send money because I'm not going to intentionally support the party with my hard earned dollars as long as she's at the helm. One only needs to know about the privatization of Florida's prisons and her direct profiteering. Oh wait, that's Rahm Emanuel or any number of so-called Democrats.

[George II]

37. What SPECIFICALLY makes you say "corrupt"????????????????

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. I was nicer, asking her to resign.

Damn, amazing how grate mines tink alight.

[jeff47]

23. Be sure to include a blank check

with "Fire Debbie Wasserman-Schultz" on it. (Also black-out your account number)

[zeemike]

24. Now that is an idea...they will defiantly look at the check.

Or at least the office personal will.

[Lunabell]

25. OMG She is so wooden.

No fire or brains behind that corporate mask.

[CK_John]

26. For your info this is a job nobody wants and one that the party chairs can agree to hire.

So before you get her fired, you better line up her replacement and ensure she will be replaced before the party gets started in 2016.

[tavernier]

28. But she speaks so highly of you.

[DeSwiss]

29. Abe says the third time's the charm:

- K&R

[brooklynite]

31. Answer: none

Nobody processing a fundraising letter will pay a minute's attention. If you really want that, how about writing or calling your State Party Committee, who appoints you DNC members.

Of course, if your goal is just to vent...

[DURHAM D]

32. Redirect it to the WH.

She serves at the pleasure of the President.

[TheKentuckian]

34. I suggest an assertive but neat font so it is clear but only has to be written a few times.

[Historic NY]

35. perhaps enmass..........

http://my.democrats.org/page/s/contact-the-democrats

[George II]

36. None....got anything specific to want to do that?

[Ichingcarpenter]

38. Bring back Tim Kaine!!!!!!!!!

He was so great in the 2010 election!!!!!!!


And Obama picked both of these to lead the party.

[Enthusiast]

40. K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations!

[onethatcares]

42. thanks for that idea

I'll use my virtual black magic marker and do the same on all the emails I get from her.

[Orsino]

43. Firing one DLCer type is hardly the point.

She would just be replaced by another.

What is needed is a focus on progressive values, in spite of the mountains of money pushing us in the opposite direction. In such an environment, mere talent would be wasted.

[cherokeeprogressive]

44. Until the only readable thing on the envelope is the return address.

In as many different colors as you have available.

[Rex]

45. As many times as it takes.
