Those about to lose their unemployment
benefits thanks to senator bunning-may I recommend showing up at his offices, sleeping bags and bills in hand. Call the press and get coverage. If enough people showed up and camped out and it receives enough coverage and if republicans are firmly and directly connected to this and shown to be responsible for this-then maybe things will change.

1. How would you suggest they get there?

If the unemployed lose their benefits then they are probably not going to be spending anything that they have on a trip to visit some asshole who will be absent when they show up.

Mail him a dead fish or rat instead. It'll cost less and do more.

3. Given the unemployment rate in KY
I would think a sizable crowd would be within bus distance of all of his offices. Dead fish and rodents would be lost on him-as would a crowd, But it wouldn't be lost on the rest of the country if the media shines a bright light on it.

4. Which ones? FOX? CNN? Local?

Look, I'm not knocking what you are saying, but if these asshole (R's) won't work on anything that the Dems put forward then they don't care what people think of them in general.

Did this clown care when Bush was spending 30 billion a month of tera? I doubt it, but now that Americans are truly in need he shows that he doesn't care. He's not running for reelection so there is no incentive for him.

I could offer some incentives that would work for both him and the GOPygs as a whole but I would probably be arrested for what I would suggest.

Marching doesn't work against these assholes.

5. The Bunning story is front page CNN right now
Fox is pointless. I'd think major networks; NBC, ABC, CBS and then cable specific MSNBC. That would be my guess. Coverage out of Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville is scanned and picked up by national news.
