Pick up the damn telephone..
http://www.angryblacklady.com/2011/07/26/pick-up-the-damn-telephone-machine/

Last night Obama asked us all to contact our Representatives and tell them to do the right thing for America. I could not have said it better myself.

Have a Republican congresscritter? Call him and tell him to pull his head out of his ass. Or her ass as the case may be. Democrats could use some support as well, of course, but at this moment in

1. Number to congress is 202-224-3121 and if you don't know who your rep is,

they will tell yu. All you have to do is give them your ip code, and probably your last 4 digit zip too.

There's also two web sites where you can send email to either the House or the Senate.

www.house.gov

www.senate.gov

Do it folks! If we crash enough servers, and crash the phone lines, I believe at least the marginally sane people in either house will pay attention.

10. My congresscrapper
is a teabagger. He advised us, us being non-GOPers, that he would have no conversation with us until September. So, whenever he makes an appearance or sends staff to represent him at some event, we show up with signs to ask questions. Rather than ignoring us he sees to our well-being by sending police officers to make sure we're comfy in the back of the room; couple months back he sent them to make sure we were staying dry in the pouring rain outside the building where he was speaking. Whatta guy!

13. They are trying to spin ...
the calls they are getting as even they need to know that those who voted for them are now scared as hell.

I know that there are many teabaggers or as they may be calling themselves these days former teabaggers who are calling also since they have been really schooled on what socialism really is and they are now losing jobs,police,firemen,teaching jobs,faa,etc..
