they better start updating their resumes, because they are toast.

Just call his office in DC, and they said he will vote against Cap and Tax…

Game on. GOP was late. Hopefully not too late.

I have been calling for over 3 hours, Ehler’s office connects to voice mail for your comment, Frelinghuysen-Undecided, Gerlach-hung up on me!, Johnson- still reading it, Kirk-Undecided This is my first time posting here, so bear with me. I have been reading Redstate for a long time. Will post my results for others on the other threads.

but I gave it a shot and called Gerlach (I’m in PA, maybe he won’t notice i’m not his constituent). Got an answering machine. Please leave your message and it will be passed on.

1. What the hell is wrong with this country that this many REPUBLICANS - even liberal ones - are considering voting aye on the biggest tax increase in history.

2. It’s getting increasingly difficult to think any of these people give a crap about what we think or how many of us call. I know the 2010 elections will be consequential but they are either in massive denial or are sadistic miscreants pulling a Sandra Day O’Conner.

priorities in line. I have contacted the people in VA that will listen to me, heck, I even called Gerry Connolly (D) office. Yeah, that didn’t go well.

Anway, when Rush said their is dispiriting of Americans, this is just another example of what I fear is the destruction. I really hope I will be surpised when this thing is killed, but alas I think we are in for this Acts control and destruction.

I have gotten about 120 pages into this, the Government is becoming a virus or cancer, take your pick. Depressing.

If someone is on the fence, its obvious they have fallen for some kind of climate change garbage. These people are Dems.

Of the people I talked to, the aids seem most receptive to the argument that now is just not the time. The economy is in shambles and we need to bolster business and jobs. In other words, it the economy.

If you are reaching out to Dems, a conservative rant isn’t going to do much good. These people are firm in their own convictions about the environment.

They key is talking about giving the economy a chance to gain momnetum.

we can’t let that happen

He’s a pro-business ag guy, but fancies himself an environmentalist. If your reps are like him, be sure to stress that the cap’n'tax scheme won’t affect the climate, but will destroy the economy.

Melissa Bean (IL-8) by phone and by email to tell her to vote NO on this bill.

Do NOT fall for the “call only if I’m your congressman ploy”

Kirk is contemplating statewide office, senator or governor.

Call Call Call!

I’ve not been able to get through to any of these lines!! They’re all busy! Hopefully that’s a good sign. I did call my local congressman, however, and he is voting NO. We’ll see. I’m gonna be checking up on that.

Rep. Melancon/Cao’s office yesterday. Just tried to call, got a busy
signal at both offices–I truly hope that’s because people are calling them
to vote no. Don’t know how much influence I have because I’m
not a constituent of either. Melancon/ Cao are both from south LA.
I did contact friends who live around N.O. Oil industries are big
employers in their districts– I can only hope!

Told the nice lady that this bill would add $3000 a year and do nothing for us. And that since I live in Wheaton, and that Mark is running for higher office soon, that I’d remember his vote.

Got right through on the 2nd try to the number listed above.

NJ is a DARK BLUE state admittitly, but Rodney Frelinghuysen is in a VERY SOLID GOP district.
I wish we could take him out in a primary. Just the fact that hes considering this massive tax hike/ special interest give-away is a disgrace………
If he votes YES on this I will really harrass the club 4 growth ( and any one else who will listen ) about recruiting a convervative alternative to this guy.

When I saw Mark Kirk’s name I thought it had to be a mistake. I totally respected this guy and thought there was no way.

He posted a YouTube video of himself saying he was reading through the night to read the whole bill.

1) BS if he says he can read a 1000+ page piece of legislation in one night. Especially with 300+ pages being dropped in at 3a.m. It’s not like he’s reading some magnificent novel, it’s a frigging bill!
2)If he did read the whole thing and then decided to vote for it I have to seriously question his calling himself a conservative.

Kirk is a Navy guy and has been on the radio as a guest frequently here in Chicago. I have never heard anything in all that time that would lead me to believe he could vote for this type of legislation. I’m not a conspiracy buff but I’ve got to wonder what arm twisting, blackmailing or back room bargaining went on to get him to vote this way. The only thing I can imagine is some connection with Rahm Emanuel and Obama being from Chicago. With their connections to Chicago politics I can only speculate that they found something they could leverage against him. It was no secret that Rahm was working the phones and I’m thinking not all of the calls were warm and fuzzy.

Or perhaps this was something Kirk thought he needed to do in order to have a chance in the next election in his district. We all saw how well that kind of thinking worked out for McCain.

Either way, again I say “Mark, you are a total let down and I hope it was worth it for you to sell out the American taxpayer.”
