I will keep this promise to my Congressional Democrat
On your decision to table H.R. 333 I fear that I cannot in good conscience vote for you in the coming elections.

There is a duty to protect the US Constitution with your vote today you proved to me, you do not intend to do that. Politics is far more important than the real crimes against the US and the US Constitution committed by one Mr. Chenney.

We had a President impeached over a sex act, but we cannot get you folks to pay attention to the real crimes against this country and her constitution. I will work for whoever runs against you in the Primary, and I guarantee you I will NOT vote for you in the General Election if you should win the Primary. My vote will go to whoever the Greens field.

Enough inside the beltway, put fingers up and see how the wind is blowing. If you are not willing to hold the most corrupt administration in US History accountable, then you will not get my vote.

Yes, it is that simple. In my eyes you are now enabling the Bush Administration

Sincerely,

8. Is it feinstein? We protested yesterday at her office. The police were called
on the protesters. Even the police realized the protesters were innocent of the charges.

18. That's the Senate
no my House Rep.

Though I will keep that promise for DiFi is she runs in 2012 as well

I suspect that if the country goes left... as in hard left, she will step down.

She's made her money

3. Me too....I'm stuck with a vile bush ass-kisser named
Elton Gallagly. This is a district where the morons routinely re-elect him with 65% of the vote and the Dems never bother to run a serious opposition candidate. I have no representation, but given the weak, spineless Dems in Congress, it probably makes little difference.

4. recommended....
Good for you, nadinbrzezinski! :yourock:

I'm among the lucky ones-- my rep, Mike Thompson, voted against tabling. Now the task is to rid congress of the cowards who covered for Cheney, and to put pressure on Conyers and the Judiciary Committee to move the bill forward.

5. There is also another reason to do this
I suspect that impeachment is now on the table, or clawing to get on

If enough of us tell them to stop the inside the beltway crap, and they get it... they may actually vote for
the Consitution when the time comes

That is the only thing that will turn many of our votes around

12. There is a group of conservative "centrist" dems that
are and have been at these games for at least eight months.

The fact that they have assinged a new buch of attack dogs is telling though

23. I logged off long enough to find out who you were talking about
Believe me, this asshole may need to be banned, but ignored is working just fine for me. I'd recommend it!

25. Hold on there, sunshine.
First off, that's not your call.

Second off, we ARE progressives. One more time for those that STILL don't seem to get it: The Democratic Party left US, WE did not leave THEM.

Third off: First Amendment. Look it up.

9. I have no credibily?
Among blue dogs... "centrists" DLC crowd.

I know that.

Don't expect to have credibitly with people who put party and power ahead of country.

Hmm where have I seen this before?

Now since I am ignoring a good number of you, now I have a new group of attack dogs?

What an honor.

:-)

22. I got the roll coll as soon as it came on line
and posted it here

I went down the list hoping... to see her name in the right side of the issue.

NOPE

But we may have witnessed the greatest miscalculation in a generation, by the GOP.

They just gave the dems political cover.. assuming the dems decide to take it
