Guys - here are updated TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers:

1 800 459 - 1887

1 800 614 - 2803

1 877 851 - 6437

1 866 340 - 9281

1 800 828 - 0498



Again, these are some TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers, that you can use to call your reps - concerning this ABSOLUTE DISGRACE of a story about hundreds of our wounded troops being sent to the vermin-infested, cockroach-crawling, germ-ridden flop house "Building 18" across from Walter Reed Army Med Center.

Here's what I posted there, if I may be so bold (hell, the bad guys issue talking points. Why can't I?):

And if I could, might I suggest leaning hard on republi-CONS about this. Put it to them squarely - YOU accuse people like US of NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS???????? And yet you'd sit back and let Halliburton steal billions upon billions of our tax dollars with NO accountability (remember, this happened mostly while THEY controlled BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS and chose repeatedly to do NOTHING about it, ask NO questions about it, hold NO hearings about it, and hold NO ONE accountable for it), and then you impugn OUR patriotism because we want to get them OUT of Iraq so they DON'T WIND UP IN VERMIN-INFESTED ROACH-MOTELS LIKE THIS ONE??????? You'd like us to believe that WE'RE the ones who aren't supporting our troops?????????????

That's what I intend to do later this morning. Targetting mainly republi-CONS who did nothing but blindly and stupidly rubber-stamping every misdeed and act of negligence this administration perpetrated - ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT QUESTION. And I'm gonna throw in one more question of my own:

JUST WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE MESSAGE OF NOVEMBER 7th, 2006, THAT YOU DON'T GET????

JUST WHAT IS IT ABOUT "SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS" THAT YOU DON'T GET????


We were discussing it further, here (although I'm sure it's all over DU by now, especially LBN):

Remember: There will likely be a SUBSTANTIAL media effort to try to spread the blame around to Democrats, too. Okay, fine. Certainly they could have tried to do something. But keep in mind: Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress for roughly A MONTH AND A HALF. This shit did NOT JUST SUDDENLY HAPPEN IN THAT LITTLE TEENY WINDOW OF TIME!!!! It's been going on since republi-CONS owned it all, AND CHOSE TO DO NOTHING, SAY NOTHING, ASK NOTHING, QUESTION NOTHING, INVESTIGATE NOTHING.

(Thank you, babylon sister, for suggesting this! )

Voila!

:D They'll hop on board hopefully.

I posted in another thread here that I'm so pissed off about all this (including "Money Trumps Peace") that I can't sleep. Woke up in a lather a couple of hours ago, and as of this writing it's not yet 6am, pacific time. I wonder how george sleeps. I wonder how his friends sleep. I wonder how his apologists and excuse-makers and spin-artists and fellow CON-artists and damnable enablers and cover-up specialists sleep.

DAMN! And THEY would have us believe that WE are the ones who aren't supporting our troops.

:grr:

I've made calls on all the above numbers within the last hour. They still work.
