23. Feedback from a Progressive Dem in DC on Jan. 6th..
Hello to all,
I agree with the e-mail below, I was in those Senate offices when they
were getting hammered with the calls and it was wonderful, although not for
the poor staff, hey they wanted to work on the hill!!! No the Republicans
were not getting nearly as many calls, I went to McCain's and Lugar's
offices and it was not nearly as hectic. By the way the calls are what
pushed the issue over the top for most of the Senators, many were getting
calls as fast as the phone lines would allow, we started out getting
somewhat of a brush off by most of the offices early in the day but by the
end of the day on the 5th, most aides were coming out to talk to us
directly!!! The calls really did it, thanks to all that made them!!!
We have to face reality here guys, we had an enormous amount of hard
evidence of a fraudulent election in Ohio and a massive public campaign and
still only 31 votes in the House and 1 vote in the Senate, that's it, those
are the ones in Congress who represent us, all the other Dems are complete
sell outs!!! They are holding onto the kid gloves so that they can promote
their particular corporations when the feed bags start flowing again in
Washington!!!!
THERE IS NO HOPE FOR ANY ELECTION REFORM LEGISLATION IN THIS CONGRESS
UNLESS THE DEMS TAKE OFF THOSE KID GLOVES!!! The only hope would be if the
Dems got really tough and just bullied their bills through Congress
utilizing the media and massive call in campaigns but I do not sense that
kind of determination on the part of any of the Senators that I talked to,
even Obama who was lobbied very hard by the Black Caucus and who was put
into office by those very members of the Black Caucus!!! THEY BASICALLY GAVE
US LIP SERVICE!!!! That is what I observed! So I say let's test these
Senators and Representatives!!! Sen. Lautenberg said that he was going to
introduce the Fed. Election Integrity Act soon, let's push him to do it now!
House Administration Chairman Rep.Bob Ney said he would start an
investigation, let's push him to do it now!!! Kerry, that slimy sell out,
said he would introduce legislation to reform the system, let's push him to
do it NOW!!!! Let's call Reps Green-TX, Baird-WA and Delahunt-MA who are
going to introduce legislation to abolish the Electoral College, let's push
them to do it NOW!!! Let's call Hillary and ask her to reintroduce her Voter
Verifiable Paper Trail legislation NOW!!!! Let's call Durbin and ask him to
reintroduce his bill to end the Electoral College in the Senate NOW!!!
Let's write our letters with all the wish lists of reforms we have been
talking about over the past 2 months, send it to all of Congress and then
let's bug the crap out of the Dems about this issue, if they have not passed
anything by Spring you can kiss your Democracy goodbye!!! If the Dems are
not doing everything they possibly can to get these bills through after 2
stolen presidential elections, then you will know where the voter is on
their list of priorities!!! My sense is that we are very low on that list!
But I am willing to be positive and we will know by spring!!!
Kerry who is certainly the Senator with the most to gain from any type
of publicity about the fraud was so dismissive it was nauseating, I hold it
up as evidence of his complicity in the fraud!!! The Corporate Powers must
have just told him to step down and shut up, there is no other excuse for
his behavior!! Thanks God the Massachusetts people promised they will kill
any further political career that man has, they gave me their word!!!
Would anyone donate to a NYT ad that lists all the votes Pos and Neg on
the Challenge and the issues and a public call for election reform???
Let me know, Dr. Lora at drlora@ameritech.net
