      Talked to the guy who answered the phone at John Salazar's office. I told him I was happy about the new Democratic HOuse, but I wanted Mr. Salazar to hang tough and let the Republicans cross over to the Dem side and that on this issue there needs to be a revote. He said he would pass it along. Hey, lets keep these numbers on speed dial!

        thanks.

        i called all of mine from my state, including a couple of freshmen.  i even called the republicans, because i want them to hear from us too.  i want them to get the picture that this FL-13 thing is a turkey they shouldn't bother trying to defend.

        and the day before everything starts, with staffers just getting in and set up, seems like a good time to bug their office.

      ESS has a presence here in NE-02 and Lee Terry can occasionally work himself up to being worthless, but usually he doesn't even do that well. Hey, at least I made the call ...

        are they still based in nebraska, like when it was hagel's company?

        maybe you should call chuck too, just to piss him off.

        let the judge say they can keep their source code proprietary. But let Congress say they can't do any business with U.S. elections anymore. They can take their proprietary source code elsewhere.

      I called, and the guy who answered the phone said, in response to my saying that I hoped my congresswoman would stand behind declaring the seat vacant and holding a new, fair election, "That's our goal." He enthusiastically agreed with everything I said and aded that they hoped to get some serious legislation going on election integrity issues in the next year.

      Of course, my congresswoman is none other than Stephanie Tubbs Jones, the woman who stood up in the House and challenged the certification of the 2004 presidential election.

      But still....

        go stephanie.

        the staffers i talked to listened and said they'd pass it on.  not sure how much they knew about it, but one guy i got told me to "educate" myself about the case some more.  what a jerk - and that was one of the democrats too.  he's the only one who gave me a hard time for calling ouside my own district too.  (of course i also made sure to mention that i had met them on the campaign trail and at fundraisers and such.)
