So is everyone calling and writting their representatives?

Because as long as we keep crying on this online forum and not sending anything out, this isn't going to help anything. Leters, phone calls and even email. Get on it.

Does that ever help though? Maybe give them some $$$ and then you might get their attention.

It actually might if enough people did it. I'm not one to think that the opposite side is always a villain or even evil. But when all people do is complain about what's wrong and do nothing else... then nothing is going to happen. Seriously speaking.

I write, email, & call my congresscritters. But my interests lie in making sure my investments aren't degraded due to overzealous regulation.

Re: So is everyone calling and writting their representatives?

If anyone's noticed from the town hall fiascos, if you don't agree with the politicians you aren't listened to, you are just a paid for shill be the conservative party...

Which is funny since people who agree with this notion are doing it with no proof and have become shills for the democratic party...

What i've noticed is that those that are most rude and yell over the politicians dont get listened to. oh well.

If you can't debate/discuss like a normal human then stay the fuck home.

i think you supposed to bus them in and pay them a la ACORN or SEIU, then you have "legitimate" protestors or legitimate townhall....

it also helps if you have some signs/chants of "We demand healthcare reform NOW!!!!"
- translation: "We demand YOU pay for OUR healthcare NOW!!!"

well, you must be absolutely ecstatic with the current status quo, as almost nothing is regulated if the corporate targets of the regulation don't want it.

Yeah, but you'll be dead in 10 or so years and the rest of us will be left with this crap.

In other words, you're with the terrorists er, I mean, lobbyists who are fighting to keep the playing field un-leveled, to keep consumers from having many viable choices to monetize the profit margins of Telecom giants.

My telecom wireless mutual fund FWRLX is up 42% this year. What do your think?

I think that, in a nutshell, is why America is doomed. When a society becomes too self-absorbed in their own self interests (and others be damned) then it ceases to be a society and collapses. I once heard it said "The love of Money is the root of all evil." ....

BTW TK I'm not picking on you or trying to sound personal. These comments are just general feelings. We have plenty of examples of people these days who act only in their own personal interests, so I'm not really aiming this at you personally.

Re: So is everyone calling and writting their representatives?

i guess a better idea than "shouting down" your congressperson is to pretend/claim you're a doctor and in favor of obamacare(when it seems you're really studying to be a social worker on the 12-year Blutarsky plan) like this woman at a Sheila Jackson Lee townhall....

»blog.heritage.org/2009/0 ··· doctors/

for some reason Houston Chron reported on it when she seemed legit, now that shes a fraud i can find no link to any msm article...go figure..
