Yes, email and mail (continually)...he avoids me like the plague...
as does Cochran and Taylor - I just don't understand it...I'm
nice...just persistent....  latest regarding communist
ties article...no return calls, idiot answers (you know the kind -
I don't know the answer but I'll have blah blah), no email
response...and the only one who answered by letter was
Cochran with a "I understand your...and will look into the
matter further" type of response...my response was I will
remember your helpfulness at election time...Lott is a lot
of hot air most of the time...cushy job...follows the pack
but looks like he leads...

sniff, sniff...they never gave me the Vets email addy...
thanks for passing it on...

Wake up. NOT ONE SENATOR IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ...maybe after the election???.
(another snip)
Never Ever Kerry |
My calls, emails, letters, go nowhere, ignored, passed on, or
"I don't know, but so and so will call you back"...etc...I agree...
no senator will do anything for fear Kerry will win...or
until they see how the American people back Bush...
cowards...and to think we elect them to represent us!

THIS IS WHOLE POINT - WE NEED TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND OUR DEEP CONCERN AND OUTRAGE.
Not to be harsh, but that's why I want every person on this board (yes, that means you out there!) to pick up the phone and call NOW (OK, in the morning).
They don't know, they don't know we care - and if you're waiting for the media to pick up on this....you know what will be freezing over.
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED!!!!
As I've noted before, the numbers add up in the congressional offices. Call BOTH the local and DC offices. Numbers posted above.
CALL CALL CALL CALL
THIS IS SOMETHING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US CAN DO TO CONTRIBUTE!

DO NOT EXPECT A PERSONAL ANSWER - JUST PUSH FOR PUBLIC ACTION. ACTION. ACTION.
And yes, that was my whole point earlier - the Senate is the biggest Good 'Ole Boy network around. They will NOT stick their necks out to attack a fellow Senator unless they have a damn good reason. And it's our job to give them one!!!

OK, I can't keep my eyes open any longer...
When you read this Friday morning...here's my friendly reminder of your marching orders!
Again, for those who are just tuning in...
My sister worked on Captiol Hill...phone calls are very effective - since they represent 10-100 other people who feel the same way, but who choose not to call. Emails may or may not be read. Calls get logged and the issues that have lots of calls get to the Senator's attention.
You are an angry citizen who wants the Senate to get to the bottom of this.
Be calm, educational, to-the-point - and ask for ACTION. You want the Senator to DO SOMETHING. You want answers. You want them now.
Don't expect a call back - they're too busy. Just keep the pressure on. We've been doing this for a couple of days - good!!!
Look on the other threads - WorldNetDaily has an article about the third document being found. Which gives everyone a great reason to call AGAIN!!! More evidance - what are they doing out in DC???? Why aren't they on the case??? You want ACTION!
OK, YOUR MISSION FIRST THING IN THE MORNING:
CALL BOTH OF YOUR STATE'S SENATORS.
CALL BOTH THEIR WASHINGTON D.C. OFFICES AND THEIR LOCAL CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES (see...another reason to call...double the fun...double the pressure).
USE THIS WEB SITE TO FIND BOTH NUMBERS: http://congress.org/congressorg/home/
Congress is not in session, so don't expect them to be in Washington, D.C. They may very well be in their home districts or even in their local offices. Call both.
CALL SENATE MAJORITY LEADER (leader of the GOP's in the Senate) BILL FRIST.
CALL BOTH HIS D.C. AND LOCAL TENNASSEE OFFICE:
202-224-3344
615-352-9411
THEN, CALL THE SENATE WHIP (#2 GOP man in the Senate) MITCH MCCONNELL - BOTH OFFICES
202-224-2541
502-582-6304
THEN, CALL THE WHITE HOUSE AND REGISTER YOUR DEEP CONCERN
202-456-1414
THEN, CALL SEN JOHN WARNER'S OFFICE
202-224-2023
804-739-0247
Why does John Kerry have a medal citation signed by you when he did not win the medal while you were Secretary of the Navy?
For good measure, if you're still in the mood to be fiesty -
CALL SEN TED STEVEN'S (Senate President Pro Tempore - oversees the Senate when the VP isn't available) OFFICE 202-224-3004
907-271-5915
These are the key leaders in the Senate.
They want this to go away. Really. It's messy.
The US Senate is a great big, 'Ole Boys Club of the finest order. They won't rat out a fellow Senator without an extreme amount of pressure. If Kerry is starting to sink in the race, that might do it....
They work for us. They are accountable to us.
Go forth tomorrow (Friday) and KEEP CALLING!

I know this is probably off the wall but my mind keeps going back to how they always get the attention and press.........and their way!
It would be a HUGE coup if a massive number of people once again gathered in DC on Sunday to demand Kerry's FORM 180. Navy Chief or another with the necessary knowledge could speak to the connections with Hanoi etc.
Oh  And DEMAND that the Senators address the issue
That's exactly how these people get their way and it's certainly worth the effort.
just my 2 cents

Just ask them if they have an e-mail addy where you can send them the info. I've gotten at least 10 just by asking them, otherwise they all just said they'd pass on the info. We all know how much good that'd do if they didn't have the articles and links to pass on to them. |

Thats my opinion after wading through 11 pages of this latest tail chasing about Kerry's so called, maybe UD discharge. Need to get out the vote, this is going nowhere.

becky, altho i'd already read the items i checked out your link and something caught my eye.
i'm wondering if JW might point this out to Sec of Navy or DOD. they claim they can't release records but the apparently did in this case;
>>>Al Hubbard's own claim to have been a transport pilot wounded in combat was discredited when the Department of Defense released documents demonstrating that, though Hubbard had been in the Air Force, he was neither a pilot nor an officer, had never served in Vietnam and had never been in combat.<<<

I was at Lucianne reading the replies to "Video Shows GI's at Weapon Cache". Go read the reply number 13 posted under than article. I couldn't get it to post but it mentions G. Gordon Liddy stating on Crossfire that Kerry's discharge was upgraded to honorable. Maybe someone could talk to him.
