I think it is time to flood Congress with emails and phone calls
We've seen how much power we can have when they are suddenly overwhelmed and the phone lines are overloaded. Who can we concentrate on to make the greatest impact?

Let's show them that the blogging world WILL be heard and we WILL have an effect!

We've done it before. We finally have a good opportunity to wipe them all out at the same time with the same brush. We have the power to make history and bring this boil to a head.

It's Lancing Time!!!

3. That we are angry...that we want an open hearing...
that we want them under oath and we want it televised! This "conversation" doesn't need to be behind closed doors because it isn't a matter of national security, it's a matter of covering their ass. (Pardon my harsh language, but I'm truly upset.)

It doesn't upset you that they continually refuse to testify under oath? NOW, they don't want any records of the "conversation". They work for us and it is time that "US" starts to hold this administration's feet to the fire for a change. They are no longer protected by a Republican majority.

4. The Dems have already stated they are going for subpoenas. The letter
bush's lawyer sent was rejected.

5. Still in an angry letter writting mood? Why not send one out to the leaders and
thank them for doing the right thing? They need our support as this goes down to the wire.

6. I have supported them for the entire time.
I have written thank you notes, even to senators and reps who weren't from my area, just because I wanted them to know they were not alone.

That is the main reason to write tonight, to let them know that if they do the right thing and call George's bluff, we will stand behind them. If everyone is silent, they are running blind.

7. They will issue subpoenas, just as they said. I'm calling the White house
in the morning to ask them - What they are hiding and Why they are afraid of telling the truth under oath?
