Citizens United phoned me today soliciting my money. They gave the Supreme Court the case to increase the power of coorporations in elections.
I've donated generously to progressives in the past.
Has anyone else been called? Are the right just wasting our time? Trying to confuse us? Are some of us confused enough to donate to them?
I asked the woman why me but she answered that Gingrich needs my support. It was insane. I told her he was a poison who caused uncountable misery to others while enriching himself.

As a 4th year medical student, this was a great week, I observed my first CABG surgery and am getting better at admitting Cardiology consult patients from the Emergency Department. But even better, because I am tired of AHIP and PHARMA preventing me from delivering healthcare to my local community, PNHP brought Single Payer to the table.

Many of us here at DailyKos phoned and emailed for single payer to be on the table.
Thank you to nyceve and DrSteveB among others who make the time to keep us informed and give us a chance to be organized. See fun video of those we got in to speak for us on single payer below the fold.

Living in Iowa, I get a lot of junk robocalls and push polling, despite being on the national and state Do Not Call lists. My FCC complaint form has had no response. I wish I could return such robocalls to the candidates who send me this tripe.

My question:
Is there any NGO web site that collects or analyzes such calls?

This is what I'm doing about it:
I bought a $20 phone adapter and a $70 digital audio recorder to make the more inane calls available to others. When the calls get bad enough, maybe I can demand some political accountability.

Today, I captured one anonymous pro Ron Paul robocall targeted to registered Democrats.

18 to 19 peace campaigners were arrested yesterday in Des Moines.

According to the AP, the peace campaigners were arrested for trespassing.

According to a freelance writer Mike Ferner, Teresa Vilman of the Hillary Clinton campaign said "I'll give you three minutes to leave and then I'll call the police"

I do not have the details of who in the Giuliani campaign called the police or asked for the arrest.

Nothing yet on Impeachment from our favorite organisers MoveOn, DFA, TrueMajority, ACLU, ... This week is a busy time for all of them.
Maybe Dennis Kucinich is leading on so many issues that he did not have enough time to coordinate with our activist leaders.
Let's catch up on impeachment.

Today, I called the Dems on the House Judicial Committee. I did not get a single busy signal. It took less than an hour, thanks to the list by Doc Gonzo at
Doc Gonzo's List.
The Representatives just want to know if we support impeachment of DickCheney. Many are enlightnened cosigners of HRes 333 or voted against tabling.
Tomorrow I'll phone the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.
So far activated resources are:
The amazingly convenient After Downing Street have very convenient auto emailers and phone lists.
Randi Rhodes is great at keeping us up to date and encouraging us to phone.

Who else is leading?
