1-877-SOB-U-SOB -- Toll free number to the Capitol's switchboard!

Thom Hartmann provided this toll-free number to the Congress: 1-877-SOB-U-SOB

I tried it this morning and it does get you to the switchboard!
The operator will transfer you to any office.

1-877-SOB-U-SOB
(1-877-762-8762)

So use this number to let your represenatives & senators hear from you! Tell them that you are tired of being ignored!

Let's all take the time to call them and tell them exactly what we think of the totalitarian government that is destroying our nation! :argh:

Be respectful, don't curse them out, but be firm and let them know that this is a representative government and they work for us!

Some one with a creative sense of reality asked for those numbers! ;-)

That is strange!?!

I'll have to remember this and mention it when I see my congressmen.

Dear merh,

Yesterday, we saw a relentless Republican attack on one of our most treasured natural wonders sneak through the Senate on a 51 to 49 vote. But, we also saw more than 260,000 Americans act in less than 24 hours to add their names to our Citizens' Roll Call in favor of protecting the Arctic Refuge.

It was the first time ever that I or anyone else could stand on the Senate floor and announce that, in a day's time, a quarter of a million Americans had gone online to express their passionate support for a given course of action.

That awesome display of grassroots power rattled our opponents. They even railed against my e-mail message on the Senate floor and entered its text into the Senate record. So, think of it this way. The Republican leaders of the Senate have 51 reasons to celebrate today, but you and I have 260,000 reasons to do the same.

If we keep working together - committed pro-environment Senators and a powerful grassroots movement all pulling in the same direction - we can still stop the plan for drilling in the Arctic from making it the rest of the way through Congress. And we can win the larger battle over two very different visions of America's energy future.

George W. Bush and the Washington Republicans have a plan to sell off our public lands to powerful special interests. As a result of their ruthless drive to undermine America's most beautiful natural treasures, the oil rigs are closer to the Arctic Refuge than they have ever been. But, the Bush administration's own scientists and economists admit that the Republicans' plan will not make us less dependent on foreign oil and will not lower prices at the pump. We have to put America's energy future in the hands of Americans - by inventing our way to real energy independence and having energy sources that create jobs and lower prices.

With your help, we will continue to wholeheartedly resist their special interest-funded partisan agenda. And, if we act with the same energy and determination as we have on this critical Arctic Refuge vote, sooner than later, our power and commitment will carry the day. I know you will be with me every step of the way and I thank you for the passion and energy that you bring to our work together.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. I told you that more than a quarter of a million people signed our Citizens' Roll Call in the first 24 hours after we launched it. Actually the news is even more impressive. As of this moment, there are over 400,000 signers to our Roll Call, including tens of thousands who signed after the vote to express their determination to keep fighting. Let's keep working.

But that is REALLY the number. Someone at the phone company has wicked sense of humor.

operator ask me what office I wanted to be connected to. I love folks with a sense of humor!

They voted to STRIP THE MEDICAID CUTS FROM BUSH'S BUDGET!!!!!!!!!! Give a CHEER for OUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS!!!!

Along with the line "I AM AS MAD AS HELL AND AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"

the thought has crossed my mind. Just yesterday as a matter of fact. .

800-888-877, does not matter. This is classic!

SOB U SOB???

O man, that's perfect. I can commit that to memory no problem!

I don't know who set it up, but whoever they are, they are truly wonderfully witty people.

The 800 number we used to bombard congress demanding they stand up with Conyers to challenge the electoral vote in December and January was cut off. I guess we bugged them too much. We learned that the toll free numbers are paid for and set up by lobbyists, not congress.

violations of the 10th amendment & state's rights.

The Schiavo case is no longer about the woman, it is about Congress interfering in the operations of the states. Florida law was followed, Florida Courts decided and the federal government has not authority to interfere with the action or to pass this resolution.

This is state's rights versus the federal government and is an example of the members of congress violating their sworn oaths to protect and follow the Constitution. Bills of Attainders are illegal and acts of legislation aimed at individuals, generally for the purpose of punishing an individual without a trial, are bills of attainders.

In this case though, a special piece of legislation has been crafted solely to federalize the case of Terry Schiavo, trumping state sovereignty and the 10th amendment. Thus the members of Congress that vote for this resolution are violating their oaths of office and are not upholding and protecting the Constitution.

Additionally, the GOP's has been on the band wagon complaining that the judiciary is in effect legislating from the bench, but with this resolution they will be guilty of “Legislative Adjudication” upsurping the rulings of the Florida State Court that following the Florida State Laws.






This is not about Schiavo - this is about the Constitution and the continuing efforts of the repukes to violate the Constitution and to erode our rights and the rights of the states.

You should be upset about that, imho!

...regarding the Schiavo bill. I called his office and they said they are getting lot's of negative calls from Repubs. He is running for Governor in 2006 and he needs our support.
