Opposing the Porkulus Bankrupt America Bailout

From the news clips I've heard last night and today, it sounds like the Senate is still in debate of the propsed socialist pork bill that they term "stimulus". After a bipartisan stance against it in the House, it's good to see that the Republicans are holding their ground in the Senate. Even though many of them have diappointed lately with their votes for the terrorist friendly attorney gerneral nominee Eric Holder and the tax cheat criminal Griebold nominated for Treasurer; including Orin Hatch and Bennet of Utah, who I thought we could count on as holding to their pricipals and laurels; but, it looks like they've sold out for whatever reason. I only hope that they will come to their senses and oppose our new Marxist usurping president, Obama, and the dispicable dingy Harry Reid and Nancy Stretch Pelosi with all of their slobbering drones.

Here are some of the heroes that I know of so far:

  1. Senator Diment (R) of South Carolina - appears to be the leader of the opposition
  2. Senator John McCain (R), actually on our side on this one - I got an email to sign a letter of opposition to the bailout that I did
  3. Senator John Thume (R)
  4. Senator Lindsey Graham (R)
  5. Senator Sessions (R)
Middle, moderate, unknown or unclear at this point:
  1. Senator Susan Collins (R - Maine) - need to do some research, but from the news clip of her speaking, I couldn't tell
  2. Senator Blank (D) - it sounded like she was for slowing down and being careful; so, I think she's on our side, at least at this point
When Senator Diment aired on the Mark Levin Show the other day, he made it clear that our flood of phone calls to the Capitol Hill switch board has been a big help and made his job easier. I found that very encouraging, because it seems to me a lot of the time that perhaps my calls , emails, and letters don't amount to any type of difference. So, I was encouraged by his words to press on. On Friday, I called 5 or 6 senators, but all of my calls went directly to voice mail, and they were all full. So, lets keep pressing them. Keep calling. You can look up their numbers or call the main capitol switchboard and ask for them by name (202) 224-3121

Make sure to stay on top of your own senators as well, even if they are on the other side. Let them hear your voice.

Uh, I just called Susan Collins, via the switchboard at 1705 and her voice mail box is full.

Here's her website collins.senate.gov

I called her at her direct number listed on her site at,  (202) 224-2523, but still got her voice mail which is full; must be the same one.

So, via her website, I submitted an email to her:

Please stand strong against the socialists. Oppose the pork "stimulus" bill with all of your might. Oppose the Marxist usurper president Obama at all times. Oppose dingy dirty Harry Reid and Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi. We are counting on you and the other Republicans to be our champions now and through your term or service. You are our only hope. I'm tormented with two socialist Democrat Senators from Maryland to represent me: Cardin and Mikulski. Please make us, your fellow Americans, and Republicans, proud. Thank You, very much

The quote listed in the header of this blog is an abridgment of a quote of Ezra Taft Benson. Here it is in it's entirety:

In times as serious as these, we must not permit fear of criticism to keep us from doing our duty, even at the risk of our counsel being tabbed as political, as government becomes more and more entwined in our daily lives. In the crisis through which we are now passing, we have been fully warned. There are some of us who do not want to hear the message. It embarrasses us. The things which are threatening our lives, our welfare, our freedoms are the very things some of us have been condoning. Many do not want to be disturbed as they continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency. There can be no neutrality! We are, or we are not, on the side of the Lord! (Ezra Taft Benson, 1973)
