Democrats Force Senate Into Closed Session Over Iraq Data


~snip~ WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 - In an extraordinary sign of the depth of political acrimony here, Democratic leaders employed a rarely invoked rule today to place the entire Senate in closed session for more than two hours, saying that the Republican majority had reneged on a promise to thoroughly investigate flawed intelligence used to justify the Iraq war. ~snip~

4. Write them anyway!
They need to know that you urge (demand!!!) them to support this investigation. Ask them what they're trying to hide!!!

5. yeah, my last place of residence in the states was texas.....
....and despite the fact that our two senators are braindead human garbage, i still call them up to give them the what-for every now and then.

sometimes kay bailey hypocrite's staffers will actually agree with you when you start to trash her.

9. I'm gonna write Democrats of other states
Well, Harkin (IA) and Durbin (IL) cause I once was their constituent...


Just write someone saying you feel you are not represented, if that person would graciously represent you.


I think they need to hear that there are Democrats that are frustrated that they have no true representation.

10. Now that I can and will do. My senators, nah. I know what'll
happen; not a damn thing. KBH will send a form letter insinuating I actually support her. Not!

13. I know!! Write Rockefeller
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 11:11 AM by melissinha
Its really insulting... I have gotten two from her, months late at that... I have been contemplating writing her and asking that they at least have a form letter for non-supporters....

Cornyn doesn't respond ever.

Maybe you could write to a senator of a neighboring state??? Or I got it, Rockefeller.. he's on the Intelligence committee, I'm gonna write him as well.

6. Already done....
Called Reid'a office, his voice mail is full but gave a staffer my vote of approval and encouragement.

Couldn't find a phone number for Durbin so I emailed him.

I doubt my Senators (DeWine and Voinovich) would appreciate what I'd say to them).
