[klamath]

My congressman is on there now!

[Isaac Bickerstaff]

Still no Rep Kline, John [MN-2].
I guess I have some work to do.

[Imperial]

Lamborn had been endorsed by Dr. Paul back during the 08 election.

Good to get Mike Pence on board. He is a bigger name Republican, something we need. I think we have now finally beat the Fair Tax bill in cosponsors.

I am a bit confused about Pete Olson on there. I thought it had already listed him awhile back, but now I look at this and it seems he just signed on. However, when I had been at the Clear Lake Tea Party Olson's representative swore up and down that Olson had already cosponsored HR 1207. I even reassured another Paul supporter as much. Am I wrong that Olson had already been on the list?

I think I would call this the Tea Party effect. So we can see a tangible benefit of our tea parties. Now we HAVE to get this thing to pass the House Financial Services Committee.

Has there been any activity with the Senate version?

Oh, and still no Flake, Kucinich, or Frank...

[JoshLowry]

Woops I missed this thread.

WOOOT!

[surf]

my bastard rep (Reichert) still isn't on there - and he voted against the bailout, won a very tight election last year (i'd argue because he voted against the bailout) and is up against the wall for the next cycle against another well-funded Microsoft foe. i'm gonna piss away a couple bucks and give his office another call. i've already called his office, faxed his office, sent emails, and had several friends do the same.

Q for all here: should i threaten to not campaign for him (i'm an elected "precinct committee officer") in the next cycle if he chooses not to cospsonsor this bill?

[JoshLowry]

Yes. Put it on the line. This bill should be cosponsored by everyone.

[MRoCkEd]

Visit your congressman everyday if you have to

[Kotin]

hell yes!!

Rep Doggett, Lloyd [TX-25] - 4/21/2009

he listened!!!

[RideTheDirt]

WOOOHOOOO!
I handed out hundreds of audit the fed literature and at my tea party,low and behold, my congressman is on there now!. This is awesome:D:D:D

I also explained what it was, especially if they seemed interested. I was almost the last person there, and the people who stayed the latest seemed to be the most interested. I asked them to call our congressman and many said they definitely would!.

[CUnknown]

Does anyone here live in Kucinich's district? I mean, wtf? Why isn't he on board? At first I was thinking he just hadn't gotten around to it yet, but this is getting rediculous. I know he supports this in theory, why isn't he signing on? Do we need to e-mail bomb him?

I honestly can't see any reasonable person not being on board with auditing the Fed. It's just a damn audit! We want to know where our trillions are going, right? What could be wrong with that?

[ItsTime]

This bill will be passed. I cant wait! I dare Obama to veto this one....

[NYgs23]

Hardly any use pressuring Nita Lowey, my congresshack. That old establishment Dem as useful as a fart on a spacecraft.

don't give up: if there's one common bond all of Congress shares it's a desire to remain in power. threaten to do all you can to remove this wench if she does not comply with your wishes. don't get me wrong, i understand that it may be impossible to do so, but play to that desire to remain in power she most surely posesses. you may even pledge to help her keep her seat if she complies;)

[torchbearer]

my rep is on there, but he is still a piece of shit.

[RP4EVER]

any body bothered to do a breakdown on dems vs repubs?

[torchbearer]

any body bothered to do a breakdown on dems vs repubs?

before these additional guys, it was 12 dems out of 55 congressmen.
Not sure what the count is now.

[surf]

We're up to 75!

13 dems, 62 republicans

[Bern]

FYI - I know of several people that had written Doggett about HR 1207. It apparently took more than a month for his office to send them any reply at all. I wonder if they got swamped with letters on the subject.

Persistence and determination FTW.

thomas.loc.gov still only lists 71.

I want to find out what is the definitive source for the cosponsor list.

[mediahasyou]

does anyone think Obama wouldn't sign this bill?

[Minlawc]

does anyone think Obama wouldn't sign this bill?

Well, if he's exactly like Bill Clinton like I think he is? Then no, he won't.

[ItsTime]

How could this get killed in committee with so many co-signers?

[RideTheDirt]

Well, if he's exactly like Bill Clinton like I think he is? Then no, he won't.
Then we flood the white house with phone calls:D

Maybe a march on DC?

When the phone rings at 3 am, it'll be an irate call about HR 1207!
