Hey you - yeah Republican Senator - yeah I am talking to you.
Here I got a phone number for you 202-456-1414 ask for Rahm.


Give it a call - make your move. First one in gets a big prize.


The gang of 6 is dead. The Democrats in the House finally put it all together and came in strong. 49 Democratic Senators are on board. Bayh will fold like a house of cards. Baucus? Man did you see how the President lifted him up when he was in Montana? Senator Baucus this and Senator Baucus that, Baucus thinks there going to put him on Mount Rushmore.

Senator Landrieu? Yeah she is going to stand up real tall and go down all alone --- not. No she's just doing it the Louisiana way-talking big and taking their money right up to the day of the vote.

Conrad - well he's been a very clever boy. He never said that he wouldn't vote for it he just said it couldn't pass. Lieberman - well old Lieberman will try and make a deal about supporting an opponent in CT primary but problem is he still wants his Senate seat.

Now one or more may actually vote against the bill but do you really think any of them are going to vote to sustain a veto to the most important piece of legislation in 50 years. Not going to happen.

So we would like a couple of insurance runs. You can get some good pictures out of it. Maybe your from a blue state and would like some consideration in the 'non-recruitment' of strong opponents in your next run. Got a favorite pork project? - we can do that for the first one in.

You better hurry up because it looks like Snowe maybe the first and if your second you won't get as much as the first.

Sleep on it. Remember how poorly Mitch and the boys in the caucus have been treating you? Your not going to be chairman of anything in the next 16 years so why not get some glory and stick it up their ass at the same time.

Now on Wednesday the President is giving a speech and 50 million will listen to it but it actually is aimed at 5-6 wimpy Democratic Senators. After that speech they will have been painted into a corner 18 inches square.

Now if you sign on before the speech you can expect some extra consideration. We need a new Ambassador for Jamaica.

1. This offer will expire, not all are qualified.
Sorry, Senator Grassley.

Don't bother calling.

Everyone else, give it a shot but call soon.

:patriot:
