Info to contact Congress to demand an end to Iraq & protest action in Iran, Syria
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 04:16 PM by IndyOp
I've listed the 3 bills introduced in the House & the 3 in the Senate at the bottom - call your Congressmembers and call committees, too if you can. Committees are responsible to all U.S. citizens so they typically are more receptive to comments than if you call Congress members that aren't your representatives.

Look up your members using your zipcode - Senate & House

Appropriations (202) 224-7363
Armed Services (202) 224-3871

House Committees:

2. You are welcome! I've been told that calling committees has an added
impact - the messages go to the Chair. I am pleased that I have had to hold for a few minutes on some of the calls - the phones SHOULD be ringing off the hooks.

:hi:

6. Thanks to you, too. I had a few good, brief conversations today -

I mentioned calling for the Administrations' Resignation and one of the committee guys said that we'd be left with Cheney and I got to clarify what I meant -- the whole damn crew. It was clearly the first he'd heard that request.

I was also, apparently, the second person on the phone today who mentioned that Bush is mentally decompensating and that that should be taken very seriously.

I feel better about having made the calls and will get back on the line on Tuesday.

:hi:

On Edit: Thanks for helping with Impeach on the Beach! I told friends about it and got to add that I had a friend who was there!

7. People really don't understand decompensation.
They don't see it coming, they don't see it happening and are shocked at the end result. They don't know how to look or they look away.

Tuesday, let's hook up and get this rolling.
