Take the Congressional Prevarication on Torture Pledge with me.

Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 02:59 PM by sfexpat2000

I swear to (whatever you swear or affirm on) that every time either the House or the Senate holds a hearing on torture, I will call that committee and tell them to stop acting surprised in front of CSPAN cameras over US torture policy that I have been aware of for years.

If *I* know it's our policy, *THEY* know it's our policy.

2. They've put me on hold twice and both times the connection was lost

Now, I ain't saying they hanged up on me...just saying the hold was kinda permanent.

7. Yes! Success! Asked to be patched through to Levin's office

and left a message...Told'em to stop pretending they don't know that Bush and Cheney implemented a torture policy and to stop acting as if this is "news" and to start actually doing something about it

10. Yeah, I'll kick it!

It's really hard to get people around here worked up about torture. I know, I've tried.
