We don’t have access to Rush Limbaugh here at Buzzquarters, but sort of love the man, and not in the way that would make him feel uncomfortable or draw odd stares for us here in Boystown. Love him as in, he’s an American hero and great patriot and we respect his opinions, even if we sometimes don’t agree with him.
But we are dying to know what he’s saying about the “Slaughter Slam” today, that illegal, unconstitutional scheme Louise Slaughter (a woman who should be arrested for treason) dreamed up to ram Healthcare Rationing through Congress without actually voting on it in the House.
What’s Rush saying?
If you are listening to him, please share it all in this thread so we can be kept up to date.
March 16, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Haven’t listened with rapt attention all day (kids home for Spring Break), but a caller called in saying that the guy yesterday didn’t faint at the Obama rally. He stood up to shout something, and the cops dragged him out. Rush was trying to get a better read on what went down by clarifying the audio tape.
Interesting…
March 16, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Yep – according to the caller, the person was yelling “how dare you!”
March 16, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Yeesh. We really are living in a 1984 Animal Farm kind of world, aren’t we?

“Conservative” under “Featured Talk”..
March 16, 2010 at 1:53 pm
He is slamming it as unconstitutional. His big deal today is he gave out the Capitol switchboard number to encourage us to call. It’s only the 2nd time that he’s given it out. Just reported that the switchboard is on overload.
March 16, 2010 at 1:58 pm
DOES ANYONE HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER PLEASE????
THANKS
March 16, 2010 at 1:59 pm
2 numbers: 800-965-4701 and 800-828-0498

March 17, 2010 at 12:09 am
Those two numbers now have the same pro-obamacare propaganda recordings.
March 17, 2010 at 9:40 am
DO NOT CALL THESE NUMBERS. They just take you to a message praising Obamacare!
March 16, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Rush reiterated what Mark Levin has been saying for the last several days, what they’re trying to do is unconstitutional and they’re doing it only to save the boy king’s presidency. Also that BHO is like a third Kim Jong Il, ruining the country in order for the lightbringer to save face.
March 16, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Yup. Actually compared BHO to Chavez, Castro and Kim Jong Il…said they each and every one would (or has already) destroyed their countries in order to “save face”…their own faces that is.
Of course, Rush was alluding to O-Care as Obama’s destruction of the US to save face. He (O) has no choice but to push this thing off the cliff. He’s too heavily invested in its success. If it fails, it will be good for the country, but bad for Democrats. It’ll mar the whole party and we *need* to remain a 2 party system indefinitely…Look now at what happens when 1 party has absolute control. I am a Repub, but do not want Repub absolute control any more than I want absolute Dem control…it was called “checks and balances” as a concept back when they still taught unslanted civics and social studies in school back in my day. And even though I am a Repub, I know there are as crazy people to the far right as there is to the far left. Fascism is a party-neutral term afterall – it can apply to any of them.
March 16, 2010 at 4:17 pm
The term “checks and balances” refer to the three branches of gov.:
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
Though in general I agree with you with the idea of any one party holding all three with majorities. If the GOP eventially gets the House & Senate and later the WH, I hope they keep a level head and stay honest. The sleeping giant needs to remain awake and hold their feet to the fire.
March 16, 2010 at 6:10 pm
I keep hearing them say they learned their lesson. Let’s hope so if they win the majorities pundits are predicting. The D’s that are left in office will probably not run again in 2012. Howver, it will be a nasty 2 years if the D’s are in the minority with the media behind them.
Gridlock in DC sounds so nice right about now.
March 16, 2010 at 1:55 pm
I often listen to him online, for talk radio in general http://www.talkradiotime.com/ and Rush specifically http://www.talkradiotime.com/shows/rush_limbaugh_radio_show.htm Rush has really been on his game today and for only the second in his programs history he has released a phone number to call, the congressional switchboard in point of fact. He did this once before and crashed the switchboard system.
March 16, 2010 at 1:59 pm
GIVE OUT THE NUMBER PLEASE… ANYONE — WE ALL NEED TO KEEP THIS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND FOR THOSE WHO CAN NOT LISTEN>>>>. THANKS
March 16, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Look at post #4.
March 16, 2010 at 3:46 pm
877-762-8762 is a valid # for reaching your Rep.

Fabulous!!! I absolutely LOVE the Hottie McAwesome character. Too cute!
Second favourite…Pelosi! Love those rolling eyes. LOL!
March 16, 2010 at 1:58 pm
He is saying today is “the ballgame” and apparently his listeners have shut down the switchboards in DC. Make sure your faxes are getting through – might have to resend them all later.
March 16, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Ooh! Just said Alinsky’e “Rules for Radicals” is being turned against the Dems – about time!
March 16, 2010 at 2:01 pm
The Freepers have a daily Rush Live open chat… here’s today’s address:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2472136/posts
March 16, 2010 at 2:08 pm
There is another number not toll free 202 224 3121.Rush also has a link to Code Red that has a list of targeted Congressmen
March 16, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I did get to listen…and his first story sent me HERE (to the internet) to post…about how American Soldiers ARE NOT PERMITTED to fly the US flag at their encampments in Haiti…whilsts there doing humanitarian aid. Why? It would be ‘offensive’ and ‘appear like a US occupation’ of the land. So our money and our young precious children, soldiers, are good enough…but not our Flag. Can ya tell I am pissed?
He didn’t dwell alot on Slaughter per se…other than he keeps repeating THEY DON’T HAVE THE VOTES…BUT ITS NOT TIME TO STAND DOWN. That is why he gave the Congressional, toll free, switchboard number out (the second time in over twenty years that he has ever done something like that he said.) Rush listeners CRASHED THE SYSTEM. The Congressional switchboard and phone system is DOWN.
Omninous as to the power of the People, huh?
Rush also went off on the media apoplexy at Virginia Thomas (wife of SCOTUS Clarence Thomas) having a ‘conservative website’ and ‘organization.’ Wow. He reamed the lames on that…and the irony of how many of ‘them’ (media elites) are married and/or significant others of Dems right now.
Maybe a Rush Thread is a worthy addition to HB until the HealthCare Reform Zombie is finally impaled on a wooden stake; dismembered; burned; and the ashes tossed to the four winds (to fully assure its impossible resurrection?)
March 16, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Mary QC, Using our military as a political toy makes my hair explode into fire. Next they’ll be told to put tape over their flags on their uniforms. Grrrrrr.
If we did crash the phone system, it’s the second time in 4 years. First time was the hidden amnesty in the immigration “reform” bill along with the monies to pay for college education for illegals. I hope they back away from this as fast as they backed away from that.
But GW Bush didn’t have “ego” problems and understood the public didn’t like “that” bill and might be able to rally around increments. So he just shelved it. Then the election cycle started and then the economy crash.
And would you believe that Dr. Utopia has another “comprehensive immigration “reform”" bill teed up? Yep. Right after he passes all those taxes in the “energy” bill he’s going to try to jam down our throats.
He’s exhausting. We must rest in shifts.!!!
March 16, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Just tried to call – still busy.
March 16, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Probably be that way for quite awhile. Right now everybody is offering to take congress on a snipe hunt. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Snipe+Hunt
March 16, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Oh, yeah!!! We could set up a really, really GOOD snipe hunt for these fools.
March 16, 2010 at 2:17 pm
He was also mentioning that they have been talking about their “End Game” on health care for a year now. They are continually making it look like they are close to a vote and they are not.
My question is – what is going to happen if the bill is “deemed to be passed”? Has anyone heard anything concrete on what Republicans will do legally if the bill is signed under these circumstances?
Rush posts his transcripts on his website between 5 and 6 CST. I think they are available on the free site. If not – I can copy and paste his discussion the the Slaughter solution here. When you go to his site it’s not apparent that each title is actually the transcript for that particular item – but it is.
March 16, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Mark Levin will march down to the courthouse if they Deem and Pass (Demon Pass) this bill. By the constitution, there must be a vote w recorded yeas and nays for each member.
March 16, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Demon passin a zombie of a bill — that sounds about right.
March 16, 2010 at 6:40 pm
Isn’t it interesting how things are named? I remember when I was a kid, thinking who named the smallest particle on earth “Atom” [Adam?]
March 16, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Perhaps we should deem them all to be ompeached.
March 16, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Yes. We should ignore anything they “deem” passed. The businesses, the insurance companies, doctors and patients. Tell them we “deem” them to be unconstitutional and we don’t have to abide by unconstitutional laws.
March 16, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Rush’s transcripts are posted free on his website. They stay up for a week, then are overwritten with the next week’s transcripts. The pay portion of the site gives access to all the archives, and the web-cam broadcast. But if you get there within the week, all his stuff is there for the world to see.
March 16, 2010 at 2:25 pm
hers a toll free number rush gave out for the WH.877 762 8762..
March 16, 2010 at 2:34 pm
On the internet, he’s on wls-am in Chicago at 11:00am your time for three hours. We have both Safari and Firefox operating systems so we put it on Foxfire which still gives us access through Safari to the internet. I can’t get WLS on the radio here very well.
March 16, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Power Line has a post up about the Slaughter Solution and its unconstitutionality:

March 16, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Thank you for that link.
March 16, 2010 at 3:22 pm
You’re welcome. (Thankfully they lay to rest the talking point that the Slaughter Solution would be just the same thing as the Gebhardt rule, which is obviously not the case.)
March 16, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Exactly
March 16, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Exactly.
March 16, 2010 at 7:10 pm
That blog is owned by a lawyer if I remember correctly. I’m sure if he is not a constitutional lawyer, he certainly knows a few.
March 16, 2010 at 2:53 pm
What about this thesis. ALL of this is just another smoke and mirrors diversion to help the One stomach the fact that it’s OVER for him and has been since Scott Brown’s election. They can’t let this appear to go down so quickly, yet they know the writing is on the wall. The majority of those who voted for the fake can “feel real good” about the tenacity of their appointed One. he fought a hard battle and lost. For Obama, potential outcome is his only measure of greatness.
March 16, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Let’s hope he doesn’t take his failure out on us.
March 16, 2010 at 3:04 pm
I would guess that’s a vain hope.
March 16, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Fox News just said.. Congressional phone lines are jammed!
Love it!
March 16, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Cavuto just had a guy on the phone from the White House saying they’ve never seen the phones so jammed. A spokesperson for O says they are all calling to say “Yes”, do whatever you have to in passing this bill. I think they are lying. Keep the numbers, I say, and we can call them everyday from now until this is over.
March 16, 2010 at 3:25 pm
YES CALL EVERY DAY — THIS IS NOT OVER YET!!!
March 16, 2010 at 3:25 pm
They are going to be seeing many new things from here on out.
And yes, I suspect that they are lying, too. When do they not lie?
March 16, 2010 at 3:27 pm
I AM AMAZED THAT THAT MANY OF “RUSH” LISTENERS WOULD CALL ABOUT A YES VOTE lol lol
March 16, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Hahaha.. yeah, not so much.
March 16, 2010 at 5:27 pm
of course they are lying!
people are calling to stop this piece of $hit Rationcare.
March 16, 2010 at 6:05 pm
O probably activated the unions to pay people to jam the lines to keep from the REAL “we, the people” from getting through….
I just hope that more of US got through than the union paid thugs…
March 16, 2010 at 3:26 pm
They think their being clever’ the Capital and the spineless Dem’s– does the term’ pull the plug mean anything peeps…?
Jammed really’ hmmmmmmmm,,, more like “unplugged from the wall-jacks!
March 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Cavuto is calling and its ringing busy.
I think RUSH just pushed people over the edge to call.
He has 22 MILLION listeners.
I hope thats the case, anyway.
March 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Hillbuzz…if you started listening to his show you would love him…seriously.
March 16, 2010 at 3:30 pm
MEGA MAHA RUSHIE DITTO’S!
March 16, 2010 at 3:52 pm
So true … have to have my fix of Rush daily!
March 16, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Me too… he is brilliant and hilarious.
Did you hear that song he played last week? An instramental song from 1972.
He plays it 1 time and it went to number one on Amazon.
So…. if he can do that with a song nobody has ever heard of.. he can get the congressional phone lines jammed for days.
He rocks!
March 16, 2010 at 4:40 pm
I heard that. I just love it when he does something spontaneous and slightly off-kilter like that and then someone (in this case, whoever owns the royalties on that CD) suddenly makes a hootin’ big pile of money and has no idea why for about 18 hours!!! His creativity on the fly is absolutely hilarious! They are right to hate him, because they are clueless when it comes to what makes good people tick and how the real world really works.
March 16, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Emma…
I thought the same thing.. some family just made a million bucks because Rush played a song from 1972.
How awesome is that?
Now, I just need to have something that Rush mentions. hehe
March 16, 2010 at 3:30 pm
I heard a total Obot, on the Rush ‘Surge’ Congressional Switchboard Meltdown and Collapse say…and I quote ‘the American people are trying to call in and say ‘do what has to be done to get us healthcare.’
I DON’T THINK SO!!!
Matt Drudge…bless him…has up a taunting, ‘don’t have the votes, Nancy?’ red banner headline.
Here is the linky to the Drudge banner:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/15/AR2010031503742_pf.html
Ouch. That might leave a mark.
March 16, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I am listening to Cavuto on Fox and he has two of the Tea Party on his show. They are both saying that many times they were not allowed in the office because they were not a “constituent” of that particular member of Congress. They were also treated with “disdain” by mainly junior staff members as well. Cavuto is constantly dialing the capitol number and gets a busy signal. The tea party members claim the reason the phone is busy is because they are off the hook…and they claim they have pictures. Hmmmm…if they really do have pictures and provide them to Fox, that could be interesting!!!

March 16, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I just watched this – thank you for posting.
It was very telling that the Hispanic gentleman making the statement obviously KNOWS what can happen if this insanity is allowed to continue.
EVERYONE better wake up before it becomes a reality. WE MUST NEVER GIVE UP — keep calling!!!
March 16, 2010 at 5:22 pm
While I’m all for being in the faces of these people, the screaming at them is only going to get them to shut down and shut the door. It’s also showing our detractors the bad side. I think we should always be polite and always be persistent. We don’t have to resort to Alinsky’s rules of order.
March 16, 2010 at 7:45 pm
My guess is they were polite at the start of that conversation at the door. And when they didn’t hear what they wanted to hear [i.e. that the Rep. believes the "deem and pass" is legal and should be the way to go] the crowd got louder. When he shut the door in their faces, they have a right to yell through the door…if he won’t listen with the door open.
Seeing this is CBS, I figure they had footage of the group being polite and asking the Rep. to consider their points. CBS would probably only show the group in their anger. CBS is part of the media that adores and supports BHO.
March 16, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Just got a spam email from the DNC (4:45pm DST). They are encouraging everyone to email their member of congress to support health care reform. Looks like Rush’s operation today has ‘em scared!
March 16, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I’m a registered democrap. Did it many years ago when I was a youngster and never changed it. Kinda like my maiden name as well… I was married the first time and never changed it and finally after 10 years changed it in my second marriage. :) Hubby finally felt like I was going to keep him!
So anyhoo, not once have I been contacted by the DNC or any candidates for my support. Do you think they know I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
March 16, 2010 at 11:25 pm
More like a lamb in wolf’s clothing…LOL Hanging with the Demoncrats!
Seriously,contact your local and state dems, get on mailing and E-Mail lists so you know what they are up to.
March 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm
OT but just read on Drudge that the drug companies are spending millions to push this crap through. My Doctor gives me prescriptions that I can then send to Canada. I have to pay for them myself, but they are generally cheaper. We also changed everything we could to generic drugs and get them at Krogers..3 months for $10.00. Somehow, we have to be able to hit Big Pharma in their bottom line. My husband and I only get one script each thru insurance because they are so expensive that we can’t afford them on our own.
Also, if you haven’t done it, drop AARP, you know The Åssociation Against Retired People. They also sold us out and are and have been running commercials. We joined the 60-Plus Org. They have had some pretty good anti-O-care commercials on.
Not only are we always going to remember these crooks for the rest of our lives, we also have to remember the enablers who were bought off.
March 16, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Is there any rule that says we can’t call the PHARMA to voice our “displeasure” with their cozy relationship with government? Is that not EXACTLY What Obama said he wanted to get rid of?? Lobbyists campaigning in Washington? Can’t we bombard their offices and let them know we don’t appreciate their BIASED criminal activity??
March 16, 2010 at 5:38 pm
I am a pharmacist. I am going to call Pharma and tell them I am going to counsel every patient I get to use generic substitutes. I’ll also be submitting an adverse event report for every single complaint mentioned to me about one of their products.
They totally piss me off.
March 16, 2010 at 6:29 pm
BRAVO!!! I WAS A PHARMACEUTICAL REP–AND I USE GENERICS MYSELF!!WITH GSK, THE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD.
March 16, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Listkeeper, have I got a Levequin story for you! It’s great that you have a contact that you can give voice to those of us who don’t.
Pharma was the first of the groups to get a deal from the WH…”jump on board early and I’ll make sure the generics don’t hurt you” – I think he gave them more time to be exclusive.
March 16, 2010 at 6:30 pm
What life? If Obamacare passes-you won’t have a life. When you retire, just check-in and get in line for your euthanasia appointment. Your no longer productive. Your just taking resources away from those who can still contribute!

March 16, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Here is the transcript of what Rush had to say today on the Slaughter solution:
——————————————–
In fact, I have the details in my numerous stacks of stuff here today, but the first time that Republicans tried this, Louise Slaughter sued them and Pelosi sued them and Henry Waxman sued the Republicans for using this self-executed — basically what Slaughter is trying to do now. The bad news is they lost. An appellate court upheld what the Republicans did. But they didn’t endorse it, they just upheld it. And again it was on the basis, “Ah, you know, this is a perfunctory thing,” the country has to raise the debt limit every now and then and this is a fast way of getting it done. Democrats said, “Well, why are you complaining at us?” Republicans have never, ever tried to do anything like this. I really believe Pelosi, to get back to this train of thought, would love to be able to pass the Senate bill and not have to go the Slaughter rule route. But she will. The Democrats may be suicidal, and they may be willing to lose a lot of people, but Pelosi doesn’t want to get hurt, and Reid doesn’t want to get hurt. They’re happy to sacrifice other members of the Senate, primarily of the House. But they don’t want to suffer. They don’t want any bad hits to their reputation from inside their own camps.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they’re going back and forth on the Slaughter rule simply as a way to make it look like the Senate Democrats and Obama failed to get this done. Because what will happen, if the Slaughter rule is used, they will deem the Senate bill passed, but it will not have passed, so the president really can’t sign it, even though it’s deemed to have passed. So they’ll add the Slaughter rule to it, which adds all these changes, the term reconciliation being used, and then those changes — one thing nobody has been talking about, and it finally hit me last night, the one thing nobody’s been talking about, what does Reid think of this? What do all these senators think of this? The House is here making unilateral changes to their bill, what did they think of it? Nobody’s asking Democrat senators, what do you think about taking out the Cornhusker Kickback or what do you think about putting in the public option and what do you think about the abortion rules and then having it paid for by taxpayers? Nobody’s asking them that.
Well, those things eventually have to go to the Senate, they have to eventually debate ‘em and approve ‘em and we could have a reverse situation here theoretically. Before this all said and done, it could be the Senate that has to now deal with whatever the House has done and what if they don’t? What if they don’t pass it? Then who gets the blame? Reid! Then it’s on Reid’s head that the thing didn’t happen. And then it’s on Obama’s head, but it’s not Pelosi, ’cause Pelosi can say, “Hey, I did whatever it took to get this passed.” There is so much intrigue going on with this and it’s all based around the fact they don’t have the votes. Now, I don’t think they’re close, I don’t think they’re five short, I don’t think they’re four short. These whip counts, who can possibly know? My instincts, I trust ‘em. I very seldom doubt my own instincts. I mean, folks, even when I think I’m wrong I’m usually right. That’s how right on, spot on my instincts are. And the way this is all playing out, how many endgame stories have we had in the last year? “Democrats down to the endgame on –” for a full year! They haven’t had the votes for a full year. There’s nothing that’s happened this year to make it any more palatable to support this thing. It’s only gotten worse.
March 16, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Was watching CNN (only because it was on at the Doctor’s office).
Rick Sanchez was cherry picking viewer’s e-mails. It being CNN, all of the ones read sounded like what post #22 was describing : “Please pass healthcare for the american public” .
How spontaneous.
March 16, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Dennis Kucinic…. is having a press conference tomorrow about his vote.
He doesnt need a press conference to say he is sticking with his no vote.
This cant be good.
March 16, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Wonder what he was promised. BTW, before his 1st presidential run, he was pro-life.
March 16, 2010 at 6:06 pm
He got a ride on Air Force 1..
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
Woo hoo…
pretty airplane… weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
March 16, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Just got the twitter…
HE IS VOTING YES.
Which means. any other ultra lib holding out for the public option will vote yes.
March 16, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Shameful. He’s a loon, but I always thought he was an honest loon.
March 16, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Yeah, I thought that he was a principled honest loon, too.
So much for that. Selling out is a common sport in the Beltway.
Wonder what his rabid followers think of that because there are many on the far left that think that this bill is a total POS.

I don’t know what Rush said, but I did find this gem from John Adams:
“No man will contend that a nation can be free that is not governed by fixed laws. All other government than that of permanent known laws is the government of mere will and pleasure.”
We really need to move the language back to a place where “unconstitutional” provokes not eye-rolling and emo-sighing, but the visceral outrage that should come with something that violates not just any law, but the supreme law of the land.

He broadcasts on line through his website or you can find a station in US that broadcasts his show and listen in. . .

Excerpt:
Given the fact that Limbaugh doesn’t use his show in this way, I asked next why he was doing so now. He responded:
“This is ball game. This is ball game, and Michael, the only reason we’re at this point is because the American people have stood up. The Republicans don’t have the votes to stop this. And the Martians don’t have the votes to stop this. Republicans may as well be Martians on this given their influence. All we can do is continue to have the American people let it be known they want no part of this — the substance of the bill or the process. They don’t like it. And that’s why I am urging — because this is a transformation of our country into something that no one has ever seen it be like. And we don’t want that transformation to take place. We like America as it was founded. We don’t want to turn it into a third world country.”

HillBuzz Boiz, did any of you listen to Hannity on the radio today? Did any of you hear Michelle Bachmann on there? She is calling for as many of us as can possibly be at the congress this saturday to “walk the halls”….. she’s expecting Pelosi to have union thugs lining the halls to push the leaners over the edge and vote- and wants as many of us out there as can possibly make it. She and Hannity were calling this a RED ALERT….
March 16, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Thanks for the tip — that is important, people have to show up to counteract that union intimidation.
Or is Eric Holder going to round up some of his Black Panther buddies and have them there as reinforcements too?
March 16, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I have no idea… just that Sen Bachmann was really pushing hard for warm bodies there walking the halls on saturday to counter the surge that she expects from Pelosi. She was really really pushing it.. she kept telling Hannity that saturday is IT! And it’s now or never…

It looks like the House.Gov website is down. I just tried to email my congressman and it keeps bombing out. Luckily mine Congressman is a Republican and will be voting NO to any Healthcare that Pelosi puts up. I just wanted to give him some encouragement.
Sorry to say that where I work is Slaughter’s district. Absolutely no one locally is talking about her and her antics. She will probably get off scott free on her machinations.
March 16, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Well, the Louise Slaughter contact page is working. So I guess it is just my congressman’s page that isn’t working.
March 16, 2010 at 6:21 pm
I just read this twitter post…”If congress can “deem” the Health Care Bill passed without actually voting, perhaps taxpayers should “deem” their taxes to be considered paid without actually sending a check this year.”
LOVE IT!

Can we make a list of ALL phone numbers? I have been calling all day and get nothing but busy-busy-busy!
If I had a full list, in one post- I could continue to call every moment I could.
Anyone willing to give me that shortcut?

Keep shining, Boyz!

The Democrats are having a problem with the CBO scores. If this House bill doesn’t decrease the deficit, they cannot do reconciliation in the Senate….

If you are not getting phone calls through to the District of Corruption and Tyranny call the congresscretins at their state/district offices.
You can find the phone number for the congresscretins by using Yahoo People for a search. Most congresscriminals have multiple offices in their constituency and I telephone all of them daily.
Many of the staffholes at the congresscretins’s offices hang up on you when you tell them what they do not want to hear. Our so called elected representatives with the cover of the lamestream media have morphed into tyrants intent on openly depriving us of our freedom, property, and lives. The usurpers must be stopped. In my calling crusade of the last 9 months I have found that the behavior of the the Republican Congress criminals is only maginally better than the democraps.
Keep your figurative weapons loaded and your powder dry. Marxist hell is raining upon us from the Beltway.

Greta has RUSH on to talk about the phone lines today…
Tune in .

Boyz –
In Chicago, Rush is on WLS (AM) radio station 89 daily, M-F, from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. All you need is a low tech radio running in the background, or tape him!!
Don’t laugh. I never paid attention to who he was until my own epiphany early last year and was pleasantly surprised to find him on WLS myself.
Also, Glenn Beck just got a local daily slot on WIND (AM) 560 from 9:00 – 11:00 AM. I had been streaming him or catching him on low ban radio out of St. Louis when I could get it. Glad he’s got a local slot.
Go low tech!!

In ’05, Pelosi wrote an amicus brief 2 help w a lawsuit agnst the Repub’s use of the “Deem 2 Pass”
Yesterday Rush mentioned Repubs had used demonpass and that Dems had challenged it in court and lost.

Of course its easy to find a FREE online LIVE broadcast of Rush… But once the show is over, the only options are to pay $$$ to the podcast profiteers or illegally download pirated programs.
However…there is a little-known resource in San Francisco for listening after the show to Rush (plus Hannity, Levin, and Noory)–the KSFO Radio 7-Day MP3 Archives.
http://ksfo.com/Article.asp?id=534876
You just have to know that Hour 1 starts at 9:00 a.m., Hour 2 at 10 a.m., and Hour 3 at 11 a.m.
