3. I am calling Grassleys office and ripping him a new one ..

He is just no going to hear from the teapartiers.. I am calling my friends, and we are going to let them know how we feel.

You know Wickerman.. we call our side all the time, but we do not call theirs. The other side has no idea how mad this side is..
