Call Harkin and ask him to support Feingold's censure

Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 11:34 AM by pstans

Call Senator Harkin and ask him to support Feingold's call to censure Bu$h over domestic wiretapping. The number for Senator Harkin's Des Moines office is (515) 284-4574.

See thread on DU for more info about Feingold's censure at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x638610

Democratic senator will introduce censure motion on Bush
RAW STORY
Published: March 12, 2006

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), speaking on ABC's "This Week," declared that he will introduce censure against President George W. Bush over the President's warrantless wiretapping program.

"He's going to introduce a censure motion tomorrow," Feingold spokesman Trevor Miller told RAW STORY Sunday.

Asked by George Stephanopoulos why he wasn't proposing impeachment, Feingold said he wanted to do "what's best for the country."

Feingold says Congress needs to stand up to the President, and declared that martial law wasn't declared on Sept. 11, 2001.

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) introduced a censure motion against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney earlier this year. The move received scant attention at the time.

1. Emailed Harkin - and Grassley for good measure

I just like to stick a little needle into that fucking gasbag even if it is a small needle.

2. IT'S ON NOW!!!

Finally, a motion to punish Bush! Sure a censure amounts to little more than a slap on the wrist, but you have to start somewhere. I'm going to e-mail Harkin right now (though I'm confident that he'll do the right thing and support it)

3. Saw Russ on Stephanopolis(sp) Sunday AM

He was great - strong, clear and in control! I loved it that right after he was on Bill (where's my cat?) Frist came on all pissed off and saying that Feingold was 'dead wrong' (and Frist knows dead from wrong!) ;)!! Russ must've struck a nerve!!

Every Senator needs to be contacted we need to know where they stand.
