Dear Sen. Hutchison:

I have tried to phone you at numerous times today, but all your phone lines, both in Washington and in Texas are busy. I think I know the reason, and I hope you do too.

In any event, since no one in our “representative” legislature seems to be listening to the people that they allegedly represent, a group of friends and I have come up with a sure-fire way to guarantee that a bill like the “Immigration Reform Bill” will never happen again. Basically, the idea is quite simple. If this bill is voted out of the senate, then at such time as you run for re-election, we will NOT vote for you, either in the primary or the general election. It doesn’t matter what you did or how you voted. The watchword will be “vote against all incumbents”. Perhaps after “flushing” the Senate and the House of Representatives two or three times, politicians will get the message that re-election is neither a divine right nor a certainty.

I hope that you mention this to your fellow senators, and this message gets their attention.

Regretfully,
Parker

I didn’t see it here, But I did on MIchelle’s Site, But Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow changed her vote to no, Well, I can tell you why, Because I happened to bother to send her a message, via this website here.

-Me

It is no coincidence that so many of those politicians seeking reelection in 2008 have suddenly decided to oppose this bill. The calls and e-mails that have assaulted them for the past few weeks tells them all they need to know.

Or would that be putting lipstick on a pig? (No offense to Muslims intended, but if you are… eh… deal with it)

And Thad Cochran, this message is for you: Your vote got bought. This I know in my soul. A plague be upon you!

Our normally conservative Senator has a definite psychological problem when it comes to immigration laws, and was pro-amnesty from the start. (It is pretty hard to put him on the enemy list after 30+ years of voting for him and financial support, but he will never get a dime or a vote from me again, because of this.)

For months I have been pretty sure that this horrible piece of legislation would pass the Senate … An occasional moment of faint hope, but generally I expected disappointment and disaster.

Some hope remains for the House, but I’d give 2-1 odds that I will again be disappointed there too.

Imagine, the guy I worked as a full-time volunteer for (Senor Jorge Boosh) for three months to help get re-elected in 2004, and a Senator I have known, liked and supported with many campaign donations since I was a youth… would help to destroy the Republican party by favoring illegal alien invaders over their Constitutional and sworn duties and the people that got them where they are.

We need to continue to educate our co-workers, our friends, our relatives about this amnesty bill.

Keep up the phone calls!!

But on the other hand, I don’t see why everyone is so shocked by the bill being passed or by the way Republican “leaders” are letting you down. We’ve basically had zero border security thus far, no one has done anything about it, and there has been no major uproar about it until now. What is the big shocker that generally politicians (and our political system or “game”) are basically corrupt and they don’t care about what you think?

piffle.

I was pleasant …

I wasn’t … I have one Senator that will pander to anyone willing to put a buck in his coffer. Another that flip-flopped his “opinions” right after the recent election. Oh, and a Representative that just sent me a three page letter informing me that I am naive and uninformed.

I noted to both of our Senators that they need to dig deep down to find their cajones and spines, unpack them, and take them to work in the morning.

I reminded them that government operates at the consent of the governed and, should this bill pass, I am ready to withdraw my consent declare that I can govern myself. Among other things, best of luck in tax collection. I am done funding illegal immigrant schooling, health-care, … at the expense of myself and my fellow citizens.

I also emailed the Whitehouse and noted that I am done with polite requests and demanded that the executive branch start enforcing the law.

What the f**K is this now?

White House prepared to open U.S. air routes to Canada, Mexico

An author and investigative journalist says the Bush administration is working on a plan that would essentially erase national borders for air carriers, perhaps paving the way for Mexican and Canadian airlines to compete with U.S. carriers for American domestic and international routes.

If conservatives show up in force, it could turn the tide.

I am very glad that our senators in Georgia actually listened to the voters in Georgia and are voting against cloture (at least they say they are). I am hoping that my neighbors to the east (South Carolina) will get rid of Graham in the next election.

Please remember at election time that our traitorous Senators from Georgia helped write this abortion of an immigration bill, and that if it passes, they are as much to blame as those who are voting for it.

… and his political career in AZ is over.

Kyl is right behind him.

I’m with you. I am going to help get them out of office. I hope Pullen will run, he is a good guy for the Primary.
