Today, I contacted my US Senators and congressmen. I got their aides of course. But I registered my displeasure with their wild spending, pork barreling, "never letting the amnesty die" legislation that the Senate keeps bringing around ... I followed it up with some faxes.
I got an email from our good friend Charles Purvis. Charles is was giving me updates on Rick Goddard's campaign in Georgia's 8th District. The volunteers are going door to door to pass out small American flags on Flag Day. Charles has also been busy settling into his new job. I salute you Charles. We need Rick in Congress.
This isn't about patting ourselves on the back. The point is, the talking is over. So here is a good thread to talk about what we are doing in a positive direction. Perhaps we can encourage one another and give each other ideas on what we can be doing in our own areas around the country.

I sent an email to Goddard earlier to ask for support of NumbersUSA to fill in the blanks on Illegal Aliens and Atrition through Enforcement. Also asked about his view of finishing the fence! I also let Goddard know that there are patriots in all other states that are willing to help if he is willing to stand for our beliefs! If, when I get a response I will let you know what Rick has to say.

Good work Rayman. I'm anxious to hear Rick's reply. Hmmm, what office are you running for my friend? ;D

Mind if I recap the week? I went to the McJerk fiasco. Hollered for Fred. Met Don Strong, and made eye contact with a new friend. Called my reps EVERY day, as the McJerk-Lieberman (now called Lieberman-Warner, like we don't know)TAX SCHEME was highly important, and they didn't seem to get it. Well, Lamar Alexander heard us, and now he stands with Jim Inhofe! STRONG. Yeah, Don, I know... VOTE STRONG! Wednesday, I went to see Charlie Daniels, to ask for help with the Coalition and a Code Red White and Blue Rally I am organizing for in FRONT OF A MARINE RECRUITING STATION. To be on youtube, and to support our TROOPS, who defend what the "traitors in office" want to take. LIBERTY. Thursday, I met with Gunny Hamlin who referred me to Public Affairs, and Sgt. HURT! What a name, eh? They gave me the building owners name, for permission to DEMONSTRATE as they could not "officially" give permission. Un-officially, they said DO IT! WE'LL BE THERE!!! They were glad to hear of it... As you can imagine, with Code STINK around. Today, I called him, but he was not in, so back to the phone on Monday. Also, I made 5 calls to my local talk radio shows, and talked to however many folks were listening. This was NOT a normal week for me. I am trying to get as relentless as the socialist MORONS, but, like you, I also have to work! Even harder these days as I own a small construction company COMPETING WITH CRIMINAL ALIENS, who also killed my favorite uncle when I was 12. DRUNK DRIVER, THIRD TIME. Oh, and I sent Krell some more goodies for the website, check 'em out soon! They sound great! As Krell stated, this is not about patting myself on the back. And as Fred stated, "It's about our country."

And as Fred stated, "It's about our country." You made my week look easy and make me ashamed. I had a secretary out several days and another just getting back from vacation and I was trying to get ready for vacation and help with the slack in the office and do my own work so I did not do as much as you for the cause. Next week will be bad for my efforts too since we are taking our family- children and 9 grandchildren to Disney world for the week. I will check in as much as possible send e-mails or sign petitions if needed but that will be about it. This week I signed petition, sent a very few e-mails and made a flier for Don Strong but have not heard back yet how he liked it or if we can use it. Depend on what type internet service I have what I can do in the few spare minutes I will have. Keep up the good work. I am proud of you!

Children and NINE grandchildren to Disneyland??? Oh, my goodness. Now, THAT'S work! ;D Have a safe and wonderful trip! There is NO shame here, we all can only do what we can! Please excuse me, if I challenge us all to do more than we are! It's just my nature...

Well, sbenn. Everytime I see the fliers you made, at the Coalition, or read the article you wrote, I am inspired. Then to take time for family and give those grandchildren memories for a lifetime is what we're talking about. That is part of the fight for the heart and soul of this nation. Children live what they learn. You are an example to your children and nine grandchildren ... that has a major impact on the future of these United States.
Some days I get to do more than other days. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it does balance out.
The thing about this thread is not how much we did. It's about pumping each other up, sharing ideas and moving in positive directions.
Enjoy your time with those future Senators you are taking to Disneyland.

Sbenn-Feed them at a breakfast buffet before you get to the park, use plenty of 70 spf sunscreen, buy a water bottle to refill, wear a Fredneck t-shirt as this always invokes postive comments. When in line at Space Mountian talk about how someone lost part of their head because they didn't stay low in the ride then count how many scoot down low when they get on board. Sing as loud as possible when kids won't do what you want...usually teens will do what you want to avoid further embrassment, and the little ones will giggle till the forget why they were being stubborn. Tell the women to make sure to note what shoes the the little ones are wearing, as it might be the only way that park security can identify them. As most child nappers at the park are prepared to change the kid's clothes and are accomplished barbers. That story always seems to make the women more attentive as to where the kids are standing.

I have been trying to think of what else we can do to help our country. One of the things that we really need to pay attention to are what bills are coming up for votes in the Senate and the House. I check the Thomas website each day as they give calendars of what votes are coming up. We often depend on someone alerting us to what is coming, but, sometimes it's too late to work to stop the bad legislation. I know it takes a lot of time to research these items, but, we have been successful so far with the illegal amnesty mess and now the Global Warming money making scheme bill. I will try to be diligent in watching out for when these sneaks try to stick some dirty tricks into bills.
What is amazing if you watch the daily agenda in the House as the day is going on, is how much time these morons spend on naming streets and buildings and bridges, honoring sports teams, creating a "brain cancer awareness day" and other such nonsense. And we are paying them very nice salaries with lots of perks. I say we need to fire them all and then give them bad referrences!

DDog-I agree they all need to be fired. I always add to my senator messages 'else you won't get my vote'. They always write back "Thank you for contacting me regarding the blah blah blah blah in our nation. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to respond to your concerns. I like Congressman Cliff Sterns, his thinking appears to be in tune with mine, he should try to dethrone one of our senators.
