Our society is predicated on the idea of voting for change. Somewhere along the way the idea sprung up that it was easier to protest. There were people, I’m sure, who didn’t think we should have gone to war in 1941. They didn’t hold signs on street corners; they voted.

I think that’s where voter apathy came from. Why vote? Why talk to your representatives? If someone gets voted in that you don’t agree with, just “protest” what they do.

Robert: I’m doing the same thing, actually. Believe it or not, there’s a DEMOCRAT running for office in my district that I support. He’s a Blue Dog, and I’ve read his website and spoken with him personally. There is only ONE issue that we don’t see eye to eye on. (Kyoto). I support him over the incumbent RINO (Dave Reichert) who is NOT in DC working on this issue, and who does NOT support drilling in ANWR. (My last blog has more about Jim Vaughn if you’re interested.)

It takes time and money and effort, but we CAN get true conservative values back into the majority in this country.

But these pos’s are actually militant in their refusal to represent us. So next time either one of their Plutocrats is up for election, I am VOLUNTEERING for their opponent-to-be-named.

I’m not sure how successful those of us who care will be in getting those that don’t to call or even vote but this country has got to wake up.

The internet makes things so easy folks. Phone numbers, voting records, email addresses. Everything is there for the taking. Use it.

Please, people, I’m down on one knee actually BEGGING you for this. Call your Republican Congressmen and thank them for staying in session. Tell them you support them and appreciate what they are doing. Encourage them to stay in session as long as it takes until they break San Fran Nan and Harry Balzack Reid’s will to keep destroying the American economy.

Call Minority Whip Roy Blunt at this number: (202) 225-0197
Call Minority Leader John Boehner at this number: (202)225-6205

Call your own congressmen and ask if they are in session. If not, demand as a constituent that they get their asses to the floor and do their jobs. If they are, thank them for their efforts and let them know that you support them.

I’m also begging you to do this as well:

Please post everything between the “*****”below into the comments of as many different blogs and into as many different message boards as you can find. Tell the posters and commentators there to keep posting it elsewhere. Spread it over the Internet. Don’t mention me, this isn’t an advertisement, it’s an organization.

Can you all please, for me, take three minutes today, call this number: (202) 225-0100 and leave the following message:

Ms. Pelosi, I am calling today to express my extreme disappointment with the way you are ignoring the American people you claim to represent. The American public does not want the Strategic Oil Reserve broken into because we understand that the oil in the SOR is specifically earmarked for military use to protect our country. We ask you to stop playing political games with our wallets and approve legislation to drill in American territory, including off our coasts and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. We have 700 billion barrels of oil in our lands. It is ridiculous of you to pretend that seventy million barrels will reduce our costs at the pump while still claiming that drilling for that bounty will not.

Moreover, I find it extremely offensive that you blame President Bush for the policies that have kept us 70% dependent on foreign oil, and even more offensive that you have time to write and market a book instead of acting as a Representative of the three quarters of the American people that are calling for drilling in ANWR and off the American coasts. It disgusts me that you blocked a house vote on oil drilling and then ran away from your responsibilities to take a nice summer vacation while Americans are still paying four and a half bucks at the pump due to your ineptitude.

It’s your JOB, Madam Speaker. Start doing it.

Your actions and how they affect our country will be remembered at the next election. I strongly suggest that you make better decisions in the future if you wish to continue to hold public office in this country.

Please folks. Work with me. Americans shut down the switchboard at the Capitol building last year over the Amnesty bill. This is just as important. Make the calls, support the Republicans and pester the democrats who have caused this morass.

Thank you.

Angry D.

Go McCain!
