Call Steve King's office and let your voice be heard!
King called Obama: "very, very urban," I urge everyone who is disgusted by King's remarks to call his office and tell him to keep his racist rhetoric off the House floor. Here's the number: 202.225.4426.

1. And this will accomplish what?
This man doesn't care, he's proud of the crap he spews, because he knows that his constituents are just like him. He has nothing to fear, his re-election is in the bag.


The fact is that most if not all Republicans are representative of their constituents, who are hiding their racism and bigotry in the shadows of the voting booth. They don't have to don their hoods and march in the streets, they have their pet politicians who will do it for them.


Why call him or any other Republican, if you're not a constituent, they don't give a fuck, and if you are, they still dodn't give a fuck.

But good luck with this.

2. I Called The Other Day - Here's The Explanation Given
She said, King was talking about Obama not being from an agriculture state. Apparently Illinois doesn't grow a damn thing, and when I mentioned Hawaii is, she quickly said, well that's not the state he represented as a Senator.

More BS lies.

7. I appreciate your activism.
When I called the secretary just listened to what I had to say and said she'd pass the message along.

3. why bother? Steve King is an ignorant racist pig,
he has no clue what he's talking about most of the time and it's ridiculous he was voted back into office.
