Have you contacted your congress critter today?
Have you called them? Have you faxed them? Have you tweeted them? Have you emailed them? Have you left a comment on their facebook page?

If you are represented by thugs (as I am - all thugs all the time) have you told them that you know they are full of lies?

If you are represented by dems, have you told them to stand up for you, told them what the Democratic Party stands for?

There are other ways to carry pitchforks and torches...

8. Michele Bachmann's link did not work
It wouldn't let me enter my zip code. I made contact in another way, not that it will do much good.

I wouldn't even have tried except for your post.

11. Do you mean to support "compromise"?
Edited on Tue Jul-26-11 08:22 AM by woo me with science

Obama knows we will not get the Reid plan. He is calling for "compromise" that includes adjustments to "entitlements." Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid are all still very much on the table.

And even if by some miracle we got the Reid plan without "compromise," that would mean trillions in cuts WITHOUT revenue, and a new "Super Congress" that will grease the skids for even more draconian cuts in the near future.

I called to tell them to end the damned wars and tax the rich. I also told them that they have lost my support and that of my family if they touch SS, Medicare, or Social Security benefits or if they push through this "Super Congress" that would fast track such cuts and decrease our ability to defend ourselves from them in the future.
