Do we still have time to influence the vote on Rice?
I am a bit unsure of when the actual vote on Rice is. If it has been delayed until next Tuesday, then we have time to get to work, right?

Anyone know exactly when the vote on Rice is?

2. Next week I believe. This would be the perfect opportunity
for Democratic senators to voice their opposition and disapproval of lying to the American people. Will they do that? Probably not.

3. Again, it's called "managing up"
If your leaders won't lead, then sometimes you have to take them by the ear and force them to lead.

Case in point: Jan. 6th and Boxer's "no" vote on Condi

:evilgrin:

7. Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd
...past recruitment officer for the KKK and former advocate of racial segregation, has announced that he will obstruct the confirmation of the first African-American woman to be nominated to be Secretary of State. Call him at 202-224-3954 and let him know what you think.

10. moedred, Rice is the WORST employee EVER
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 08:14 PM by arnheim
If she worked in the private sector, she would have been canned long ago.

And yes, I said "employee." Regardless of what she thinks, she works for we the people.

And I say that it's time to fire her. :evilgrin:

11. Check out this letter from another thread - let's get to work!
LETTER OF THE WEEK #2: To Senators on Condoleeza Rice nomination

This second letter (below) is meant for Senators and must be sent differently. (Preferably fax; also email--see below.) It must go out this weekend. No time for snail mail. The full Senate debate will be Tues. and Wed. (9 hours total). It is a hard hitting letter opposing the nomination of Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State, and supporting Boxer, Kerry and others in opposition. Boxer and Kerry were the only members of the Foreign Relations Committee to vote against Rice. Others like Biden voted for. And Feinstein will be introducing this bad appointment to the full Senate on Tuesday. Go figure.

Clearly the antiwar segment of the Democratic Party needs our support. But there is no reason not to send this letter—or your own—to all Senators, including Republicans. Remember that almost 60% of Americans oppose the Iraq War. We are the majority!

Feel free to change the letter any way you wish.

Senate and House contact info. (click on state, all Sen's & House, tel/fax/web site)
