Time to call the critters in DC
Edited on Thu Nov-17-11 10:57 AM by ProfessionalLeftist
May not help. Can't hurt. They are getting ready (alleged "Democrats") to CUT social security and Medicare. They need to hear from us about it NOW. Even if they cut it anyway, they need to hear from their constituents about how OUTRAGED they are!

We KNOW these cuts are not necessary. We need REVENUES, not cuts.

Let them hear it.

1. Called. Woman I spoke with tried to get off the line quickly.
I insisted that she take down my name and address, made her repeat it to me, and she was none too happy about it.
(Kansas. That's all you got to know ...)

2. Right on. The assault on the poor, working class and middle class continues.

4. That is a great idea...
It should go hand in hand with OWS.

I think OWS should do more things like occupying run down apartment buildings until the slumlord is forced to fix things... occupying homes that are about to be foreclosed... and putting the word out to supporters to make these kinds of calls.

6. Their phones should be ringing off the hooks.
Or do people not care if SS or Medicare is cut? Have they all just given up?

Dems on the "Supercommittee":

Rep Jim Clyburn
Rep. Xavier Becerra
Rep. Chris Van Hollen
Sen. Max Baucus
Sen. Patty Murray
Sen. John Kerry

Their phones ought to burning up, too.
