Anyone Watching C-Span Now??

[ChiciB1]

Jayson Ahearn & Rear Admr Thomas Gilmore stating that the comment abut Coast Guard were "taken out of context!" I posted at politics, but wanted to get as much reaction as possible!

Someone GOT to them, I'm sure and given the fact that the CURRENT elected officials seem ready to "roll over" for The Idiot, well folks... WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO???

Is there no way we can stop America from going down the drain??? It's not just 6 ports, it's actually 21!!

We simply have to do something! Even if we call/write or email Congress it's not going to make ANY difference when they ROLL OVER!!

Barring a few Repukes... this things is gonna fly!

1. Dubai would still control the manifests.

That's the worst part of the whole scandal.

And BushCo already signed off on that.

[Skidmore]

2. So he signed off on it. Can it be undone?

This admiral has been ordered to get out there and sell this.

[rodeodance]

7. I think you are right

[Just Me]

4. Is what I heard true: that the deal's going through, anyway?

:shrug: What's the use of a 45-day congressional Q&A if the contract's gonna' be signed, anyway? :shrug:

[rodeodance]

8. WH is self-assured that it will be a cakewalk--this 45 day review is a

mere formality to them. It is all about saving face.

10. By 3-2-2006 It IS A Done Deal!!

And regardless of first outrage, the Repukes will roll, and no matter the consequences for 2006 this STILL isn't going to do ANYTHING to stop them!

WE have to come up with something NOW! We just can't take this stuff anymore!!!

I furious, oh much more than furious... posted a thread at General & Politics about this. Jayson Ahearn & Rear Admr Thomas Gilmore talking RIGHT NOW on C-Span about how statements were "taken out of context!" Now tell me they weren't "called on the carpet" by someone!!

[xiamiam]

12. it is unbelievable...lets do it...lets stop it...they're counting on the

fact that we have no time..lets prove them wrong...

[0007]

3. Yes, I'm watching.

Carl Levin made the statement yesterday, that it was pretty much done deal.

I'm fucking sick.

[The2ndWheel]

5. You're trying to stop globalization

It'll eventually collapse on its own, but you won't stop it until then. You'll get nothing and like it.

[LaurenG]

19. "You'll get nothing and like it."

What more could we possibly expect from the MOST CORRUPT bunch of politicians in history. :grr:

[xiamiam]

6. i agree..this requres urgent movement..organized urgent movement or else

its a done deal..what grounds to stop?...the illegal and sneaky way it was handled and presented..incompetence and madness on the part of the administration..i dont know...but this is very important...

[Skidmore]

9. So why aren't we organizing?

I've been asking this for a week now. We put the fire under the Congress for Alito. Why aren't we doing stuff now?

[xiamiam]

11. good question....lets do it...but it needs to be an organized effort.

looks like we have one or two days...its absolute bullshit..and then weve been steamrolled..again...but i think that about 80% or more Americans do not want this to happen....just need to make it heard...

[Skidmore]

16. Do we have any organizations that can spearhead this?

I'm sure we could get conservatives to join us. I haven't heard much in terms of outcry by orgs on the left.

[seabeyond]

13. of course it is goingto fly. there is a reason we work so hard to get

our candidate into office. so this shit doesnt fly. this is what happens when you have corruption running the country. to act surprised or as if there is something that can be done is odd to me. the course is to win elections so something can be done

[xiamiam]

15. this is different...weve had no time to be represented or rally or

demonstrate against it..and thats what they are counting on...complacency..but once this is done...we are screwed....must be stopped...

[Skidmore]

17. We have time to call and fax and hammer on Congress.

And we've wasted a whole week wringing our hands and worrying about whether we're being racist in opposing this instead of standing up for the security, sovereignty, and integrity of our national infrastructure.

[seabeyond]

24. that was bullshit from day one. the racist crap. dont know why

any time was put into that

[seabeyond]

23. we arent screwed. if it goes thru than we will have to work on it

with a zillion other things after bush and neocons are out. doesnt mean a terrorist org is walking in and are gooing to start ushering terrorists in.

[xiamiam]

14. who organized the alito threads which were sent to congress with a

click ..we need to do this..im not savvy enough to put it together..but i have a lot of emails to send to ....we are all just waiting to be told what we can do to stop this ...and no one is providing any solutions...

[Skidmore]

18. Exactly.

[ChiciB1]

20. I Really Don't Know Where To Start!

I live in Florida and KNOW that calling ANYONE here is useless!!

I guess I can email other states, but I've done it before and have gotten NOWHERE. Mostly I got "auto-responses" or something like this email address is not working!

[xiamiam]

21. they are counting on that we feel that way..it is not useless...and yes

i am setting myself up for another huge disappointment...but shit, dont we at least have to try....please see the thread that skidmore started with a call to action...

26. Okay... Now What??

I replied to them. There's GOT to be something more NATIONAL!!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. Ahern was awarded a presidential medal in 2003.

When that smug SOB said that the general population and members of the house and senate were wrong, and the his organization's plans were going ahead, I just realized that our democratic form of government no longer exists. Partly because of SOBs like him.
Of course, anyone who earns a medal from this president can't all be bad. He apparently likes dogs.

[helderheid]

25. is this still on?
