Calling Will Pitt !! (Again....) Please start a DU thread in SUPPORT of
Feingold, and a DU thread in CENSURE of the spineless Dems who will not back Feingold on his courageous censure of B*. You did this before for Murtha and Reid, and it generated so many responses in a very short time period! We could send the threads to Feingold and all (Dem)Senators. I've read some of your comments r.e. Feingold, and if you have doubts about timing, motive, lack of generating Dem support prior to the censure, etc., you could easily include these as well (Skinner wrote an excellent thread on this yesterday).

It is a quick and easy way for many DUers to participate. I know we have been calling Reid, our Senators, etc., but this might be more effective.

4. Because it's a Raw raw ree (sp?) thread...It's very good, and it did
generate a lot of response, but I'd prefer a post with articulate reasons for support of the Censure, and condemnation of the Spineless. Pitt's posts always generate ample DU participation, and it is obvious that he writes well.

5. Will needs to do some planning first....
Maybe ask others for support before making a decision based on principle.

Then he needs to see if he can bargin that support to gain some advantage for something else...so he can simply get a progressive issue on the table.

Maybe get a nice bone tossed from our "friends" across the isle....

24. "Maybe ask others for support before making a decision based on principle"
Yeah, that's a crazy idea. Support for a principled idea...so it actually has a chance of turning into something besides hot air...I must be insane.

8. I called my Senators, Cantwell and Murray
They are thinking about this. It means they are putting their finger to the wind <blah> Cantwell is such a "politician" I am not happy with much of what she does.


I railed at their office people who took the calls. Sometimes you need to ask what your constituents want you to do and then there's a time to drop the politicizing and stand up for right!

11. Shopping, apparently
I understand he will be at the bar later.

Do you have him on retainer or something?

20. I was referring, of course, to
Bar(bara) Schmellingdorfer, the obnoxious girl with the retainer in your sixth grade class.

12. Why don't you send him a PM?
This seems like a silly way to ask someone for something

13. I don't know how to unless he has an ongoing post...It worked for
Reid and Murtha when I asked him to start support threads.

16. It's a good post, but not what I was hoping for. You agree that 99.9%
of DUers believe that Feingold's Censure is justified, so why not start a support thread that we can sign and send as a group? From your recent op, perhaps you would be less likely to start a thread of censure for 'spineless' Dems, who are not in support of Feingold (or at least give that appearance.)

"It seems a pretty safe bet that 99.9% of DUers agree that this censure is justified and timely."
