Harry Reid
[Read the article: Your Harry Reid-led Senate in action]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]does not maintain a public email address and one must go through his website to contact him.
I just did that and here is the text of my email...
"Resign.
You have done more damage to the United States in the period you have been Senate Majority Leader than George W. Bush and Richard Cheney COMBINED because you have betrayed the trust of all decent Americans.
You are a disgrace to the Democratic Party, the State of Nevada, and citizens of this country.
Again...
Resign.
NOW."
I realize that it won't do any good but it felt good anyway.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]It seems unlikely the DC bubble people have any clue how concerned people are outside the beltway. Contact your senators and ask not just that they vote against it, but that they support the filibuster.
A lot of good that will do. I still haven't received acknowledgement from Mary Landreau that she received my request for the LAST fillibuster on this bill.
We're going to have to hit the streets again.

Dear Sen. Edwards,
[Read the article: Your Harry Reid-led Senate in action]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Sen. Edwards,
It is my understanding that even though you do not retain the right to vote in the Senate, you DO have the right to attend Senate sessions and visit the floor of the Senate.
I am asking you to take it upon yourself and travel to Washington to support Sen. Chris Dodd in his fight against passage of the FISA Bill if it contains amnesty for those who broke the law.
Hopefully, if you take the lead on this, Sens. Clinton and Obama will follow your lead and also join in the fight to reinstate the Rule of Law in this country. Frankly, there is nothing more important than that, regardless of who represents the Democrats in the Presidential election.
Please, please do whatever you can to derail the Harry Reid train.
Thank you very much,
(Jebbie)

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"So the next question is, why aren't you people torching ATT kiosks for doing the same thing you're freaking out about here? Heh."
Dipshit. Is there a law which precludes AT&T from obtaining this information and using it for marketing purposes?
Once you've thought about it, ask yourself another question...
Is there a law which precludes the government from doing the same thing without a warrant?
I swear, Shooter. I sometimes think you're too damned stupid to breath.

Matt told me he met you and added that you did a credible job of singing Carmen Ohio. I'm glad you enjoyed "his" restaurant.
What would be worse than having what we have now? At least we'd have (hopefully) someone with a spine of bone rather than jello standing up to President McCain in the Senate. So yes, I'd trade Reid for McCain.
Reid is slimey.

[Read the article: Jay Rockefeller's unintentionally revealing comments]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Now will those excellent words translate to anything meaningful in the way of gaining another month and then tossing immunity or is this a Kabuki play?"
No.
Yes.
Earlier, Citizen_X suggested that someone should step up and run against Rockefeller in West Virginia and asked for "Any insights from West Virginia readers?"
In response, I would offer the suggestion that, as demonstrated through their continual re-election of both Mssrs. Byrd and Rockefeller, the term "West Virginia readers" is, in fact, an oxymoron.
While I respect Mr. Byrd, if only for his ability to plunder the public vault on behalf of his constituents, he has, as did the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, served long beyond his capacity to understand and comprehend the legislation he votes on.
Bop - adios mi amigo. Don't go to LBJ.

My Dear Ms McLachlan

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Jebediah -- you're posting from Louisiana. Not a known hotbed of literacy or political probity."
And that is precisely why, although edumacated at locations north of I-10 (IOW, Yankee Country), and thoroughly assimilated into the culture of my adopted State and specifically, St. Tammany Parish - a veritable hotbed of political honesty and educational excellence (see also, Duke, David (R- Mandeville)), I can accurately portray my friends up north as dumbasses.
The fact that I stayed here should tell you something about my mental acuity although in my defense, I should remind you that I moved to my present location from Kenner - a step in the right direction.
As an aside, I should probably temper my notes if only because of the fact that I actually believed Mona, bless her heart, would give me a pony if I accurately answered her retorical question in a thread long dead and am thus, a dumbass myself. It must be the water.
God Bless Harry Lee and Willie Nelson.

[Read the article: Jay Rockefeller's unintentionally revealing comments]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"To note, I think you can also respect Sen. Byrd for his speeches on the Senate floor in the run up to the invasion in Iraq in 2003. While many serious Democrats faltered, Sen. Byrd seemed to understand quite clearly what was happening and warned Congress of the serious consequences."
I stand suitably and correctly admonished.
Will you send me a pony if I admit that I didn't vote for David Vitter?
