Urgent: Need People to Call Pelosi’s Office NOW

Posted on by | 1 Reply

Resist net and the TEABAGGERS have launched a massive call-in campaign and are bombarding the progressive members of Congress.

@SandiBehms has written about this here (but do NOT go there yet)

There is only an hour left to this critical day.  We need thousands of volunteers to

call Nancy Pelosi RIGHT NOW @ 202-225-4965,

and tell her: The Senate bill must pass, and use reconciliation for the public option.

You will probably get a fast busy signal, but they answered my calls twice after 10 seconds of it. 

When you get through, tell the operator that you have a message for the speaker, and you get patched through to the voice mail where you can leave the message.

If Box full, or you just can't get thru, divert to Sen. Harry Reid

202-224-3542

Thanks!

 

George Carlin: The Real American Dream Speech

I always forget about this gem. Twitter just reminded me of it. 

Everyone needs to watch this 3 times, and then remember these words:

"It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

 

R.I.P. George Carlin. We never really appreciated you in your time.  We miss you and we need you.  Come back when you're ready. Maybe we'll still be here. Maybe.

Punkin’ The Teabaggers

I never get over the fun we have intervening in the monumentally stupid Teaparty movement. What isn't controlled by a top-down hegemonic effort like Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, gets continuously gamed by an army of two-bit right wing entrepreneurs trying to make a buck off of this rabid right Hatriot movement. 

I'm going to  keep a running list of some of the high points of our Teabag punks.
