7. OK, but I still don't get a few things about your response
You seem to be saying that only the freepers are trying to get people to call, email, fax their senators, and that we should stop doing that?

If "blasting" means to encourage people to contact their senators and ask them to contest the election, personally I think we should continue doing it all the way up until 1/6. We should just make sure we do it to the right place. Why would we want to stop?

In regards to the "blast" post from a few days ago we've discussed, I think you'll see that one person suggested to put a lock on the thread and I asked how to do it. I really wasn't ignoring anyone, I was just trying to get people to stop using the Judiciary committee's email address improperly.

I guess I'm still missing something about your concept of "blasting". When I asked about the exit polls you repsonded that it's "already been blasted... didn't you know?"

I think you have to consider a few things.

Everyone doesn't stay on DU 24 hours a day. Just because something was "blasted" two days ago doesn't mean that people shouldn't ever discuss it again.

Also, I don't think blasting is a one-shot-deal. In regards to 1/6, people are correct in reminding everyone to do it. This is really important. I think we should keep blasting until 1/6. Better to send too much correspondence than not enough. there are a lot of people that still don't know what's going on because of the media coverup so we need to make sure that everyone who is aware, is doing what they can to contact their senators. Do you not agree?

Lastly, I don't understand your theory about the Freepers putting up the blasting posts. I'd think that a Freeper would be against having a senator contest the election. Why would they post messages here telling people to contact their senators and asking them to contest the election?

I guess this is just a misunderstanding, but I'm still confused.

peace,
gary
