Moveon.org--visit your Senator on Thursday (in Houston, at least)

[KCDem]

I'm not sure if this is national or not. I think it's a great idea and signed up to pay Sen. Coryn's office a visit on Thursday.

--snip--

We're doing something totally new -- a "Walk In". All day, a steady stream of
individual MoveOn members will walk into Senate offices everywhere, speak
briefly with the staff, call for censure, and deliver a section of our petition.
Each visit will take less than 5 minutes, but as soon as one of us leaves the
Senator's office, the next person will show up right behind them.

It's a powerful, clear, and simple way to make sure our message is heard. Sign
up to be part of it now, at:

http://moveon.org/censurewalk/?id=2348-608878-2gnWM0m2GmafvhutIvryvQ

We've already put an ad in the Washington Post, and we're running radio ads,
making phone calls, and writing to our newspaper editors. Now we've got to ask
Congress, in person, to hold Bush accountable for deliberately hyping and
distorting the facts about Iraq's supposed WMDs.

President Bush has betrayed our trust, and there must be consequences.

Sign up to call on your Senator to censure the president, at:

Thank you, for all you do.

1. I'm signed up for 1-2 pm n/t

[KCDem]

2. I signed up for 9-10 or 3-5

My kids will be in school during the day, and I'd like to bring them with. Nothing says "threat to Republicans" more than a stay-at-home mom with cute little children. Well, I suppose a white male Democrat is a pretty big threat, too! ;)

3. The only way I could threaten them more is if

I carried a gun there with me.;)

(Only kidding, General Ashcroft. I don't own a gun.)

4. Yes, this is fun

I have told all my friends and we are looking forward to the walk in.

I love taking my kids with me to this kind of lesson in civil action. I knew things were sinking in when several years ago it was time to leave an MLK march and they all (extra kids too) sat down on the ground, linked arms, and said "hell no, we won't go". While it was rather inconvenient it brought a tear of joy to my eye as well.

And yes, they are wary of stay at home parents, as well they should be.

Thanks for posting this action.

Peace,
Teresa

5. I'm signed up in Arizona...

Hell I'm ready to visit both the idiot repubs from my state.

6. I got the 9 am slot!

Wonder if that means I'm first? I'm currently printing out my part of the petition--wow, 18 pages!

And, if I am one of the first, maybe the asshole whoops I mean Senator will actually see me? :shrug: I'm sure that by the end of the day, he won't bother.
