Fellow Texans, lets blow up Cornyn's office on a daily basis...

Per a guest Senator on the Ed Schultz show today, they want us to notify our Senators on a daily basis.

Also, his phone number is (202) 224-2934.

1. Should probably rephrase that subject line, then tell us a little more context...
What was the Ed Schultz Senator talking about?

2. Richardo, I don't need to rephrase anything. I think most informed Americans

know what the MAJOR issue is facing this country and what's been discussed for the past 3-4 months. But for those who are not as informed as others, Ed Schultz is a radio personality who is a strong proponent/supporter of HCR. There was a guest senator at his townhall today who suggested that we notify our senators/representatives and let them know that we agree and want HCR (public option).

10. I THINK I know what you mean. If you mean what I think you mean...
bombard Cornyn's office with phone calls, e-mails, sit-ins...I think it's a waste of time. He's not just any ol' Repub. He is one of the leading Repubs in the Senate, and a staunch far-righter. He will NEVER vote ANY health care reform bill by Democrats. Never. Ever. As in never. He is totally a fall-in-line Repub who NEVER votes again the far-right Repub stance. A total Bushie-Cheney. Not a trail blazer. Not a free thinker (or a thinker at all). He does what the Party tells him to do. The Party has taken a stand, and that is what Cornyn will do.

Best to spend time and money on other avenues that are more likely to bear fruit.

11. Yep, you're so right, but besides the fact that it won't persuade him...
to change his mind, I like the fact that it probably annoys the hell outta him :)

6. Cornyn is a real idiot
I contact him all the time too. He's heard from me plenty on this and the Sotomayor "no" confirmation vote he intends to take.

Knuckle dragger! :grr:

Kay is the one that should really vote for this because she's resigning anyway and a vote for health care might actually win her some votes in Texas.

7. Cornpone is one of those people
that 150 years ago would have been tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.
And as far as I'm concerned, it couldn't happen to a nicer person.
The worst part of him is not that he's stupid, but arrogant about his stupidity.

Hair spray doesn't play well with gonads.

12. His offices have been unreachable for a while
I've called him, Jeb Hensarling, and Louie Ghomert every day for the last two weeks. They're sick of hearing from me. I won't stop, though. There are other political ideologies than "conservative" in Texas daggumit.
