Just a little something that's not important, but...
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 06:11 PM by jenmito
My e-mail was just read on Lou Dobbs!
I said the same thing I have written here about a week ago:

Jenny from New York says, "If, as Bush says, 'we have to be right 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to be right once,' why do we only inspect 5% of our cargo?"

(I had an e-mail read by Cafferty a while ago, too, which I shared with you guys).

Thanks for letting me share. :)

That's really not as easy as it looks - they get thousands of emails.

4. Excellent! But you might want to edit your post...
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 06:07 PM by Kutjara
...to say 'we have to be right 100%...' rather than 'the terrorists have to be right 100%', which is what I'm sure your Dobbs email said.

Nice Freudian slip, though. ;)

10. Strictly speaking, of course, both of your versions are correct...
...since BushCo. = terrorists.

5. No, it IS important. You wrote an excellent and succinct message, and
it got out to the whole country.

That's NOT insignificant.

It's just a fact and no way would they have to pull it for any reason...

That's funny you should say that! I was watching one of those 3-minute debates on MSNBC between a Repub. and Dem. "operative," and the Repub. said to the Dem., "YOU do the math..." when talking about numbers of seats they need to keep the House. And it struck me that Repubs. aren't very good with numbers. :)

45. Congratulations!
Dobbs is on at 3pm here, so I'll be watching. Wonderful that it was broadcast on CNN.

It's great because you only used one sentence. The Dems can use it.....I wish you'd think about sending it to Dean.

Also a terrific bumper sticker!

WAY TO GO!!!

I'd LOVE to send it to Dean. I'd love to see it used in an ad on tv. A little long for a bumper sticker, I think, though.

Thanks again! :hi:

47. You're probably right about the bumper sticker
But you nailed it with one sentence and that's so difficult to do.

Keep writing. Boy do we need you!
