Not just bitchin'

It's not enough to post on blogs. Our voices must be HEARD!
Write letters!
(Yes, I know - "they don't listen."... accompany every letter with $. It doesn't have to be a lot: $5, $10. If writing to a member of the House, give $ to his/her campaign committee; if to Senate, 2 options: if Senator is running in 2008, give to campaign committee; if not, give to DSCC - include check with correspondence.)

Sample letter:
6 Nov 2007

To: Senator Harry Reid, U.S. Senate Majority Leader
From: donor of very small $ to DSCC... and an Independent voter

Subj: A message for you & your Democratic colleagues in the Senate


We elected DEMOCRATS to Congressional majorities in 2006 for one reason: to stand up to W and his minions!

Iraq? NO!
Torture? NO!
Warrantless wiretaps? NO!

If current so-called Democrats don’t get this message I think it safe to say many 2006 supporters will desert ‘em in 2008. We likely won’t vote Republican, but we’ll find a convenient third-party candidate or simply stay home on 4 Nov 2008.

If Democrats are simply warmer-and-fuzzier Republicans, what’s the point?

Stop the madness!

Sincerely,
