Why doesn’t someone start a NARAL scorecard?

When NARAL called last week after not hearing from them since the Lieberman fiasco, it was with huge pleasure that i told them to take us off their list.

“Why?” the guy who called asked innocently.

Because NARAL supported Joe Lieberman - end of story.

“Oh, really?” he asked, “for that?”

Yeah, for that endorsement you are never to call here again.

We thought we were the only people who told NARAL to f-off, so it’s encouraging to see FDL take up the banner to stop NARAL.

Thanks

Send them a little comment at their website. they need to know how pissed people can get. But we can use this to show those “independants” just what they are getting from the repugnacans.

How long is it going to take before the realization sets in that unless this administration is stopped dead in its track, the next two years are going to be remembered as the the two years that signified the end of the USA!. Thes pieces of garbage must be removed from office or stopped completely from achieving any more of their goals. Impeachment is only one step available. Every single tactic should be used. Shut down the gov if necessary, Use the same tactics that they have been using. Stall stall stall.
and at the same time, get the word out there in every way possible. Sure, they will see what is up and they will strike back but remember, we control congress. We may not have enough of a majority yet but who the hel;l cares. Publish every single action of the goopers that reflects their compulsion to destroy the USA. Just keep doing it and we can defeat them so soundly in 08 that it will take 50 years to regroup.

Clarification,
I believe some candidate passed along my contact information. It’s the funding problem all over and over and over again.

Dear Howie and community and everyone,

Today I received an unsolicited envelope from NARAL.

I would like to know who sold my info to them. Especially on this day, when I received their envelope, and they thought cloture was no big deal. Here is my deal. I’m not repeating my mistakes.

MISTAKES

I contributed to many Act Blue Candidates (I enjoyed this success). Somebody sold my info.

*******
[MODERATOR NOTE: NOT POSSIBLE. ACTBLUE INFO IS TOTALLY CONFIDENTIAL.]
*******

NON MISTAKES
Helped the rubber stamp project (I enjoyed this success, especially the videos from our elected representatives with one they made for us), Marcy’s book, and the funding of the Crashing the Gates project with my calls to Sherrod Brown and Tim Ryan.

Given Chris Bowers analysis. I’ve decided, I am better off sending $25 to Chris, FireDogLake, Digby, Kos, TPM, Booman, Glen, BLUEPAC, …,

And in the event we get candidates like Lamont, Tester, Webb, …, I might reconsider.

Sestak - no more. Doesn’t want to hear from us. He doesn’t mind sending me mail.

But to get an unmarked solicitation on petitions today, I say “Tough Shit. Where the hell where you! Now! That! Alito rules!”

NARAL lost me when it attacked Nader in 2000.

Well, even a stopped clock is correct twice a day.

The national leadership of NARAL appears to be getting like the HRC, in the gay rights arena. Still on the right page part of the time, but lost steam, lost vision, wedded to mainstream money, and starting to be a funding roadblock in the way of leaner and more progressive organizations.

So we’ve lost the Supreme Court. Congress is virtually impotent apparently for Bush’s signing statements and refusals to sign.
Imagine if Congress sent a bill to the WH that the war will go on forever and designate the entire GNP, cutting every government function (except taxing the poor and middle class)- which I imagine Bush would sign, however insane…The point is that we’re all powerless right now.
We no longer have a democratic representative form of government. There is more to the neocon plan than we’re able to see, I suspect.
Just one example: What is it about gun control that they have up their sleeves for some point in the future?
I’m with you all. FDL has done so much toward objective, smart, and responsible analysis.
Thanks.

If Howie still has my number from my 5K contribution last cycle to run ads in Hastert’s district, he can always give me a call. I’m on the Obama bandwagon now, but if Howie has an idea where early money might make a difference, we have room in our budget that used to go to KCRW, NARAL, and Emily’s List that needs to be spent.

I’m at downwithtyranny@aol.com
Can you send me your contact info. I do have some ideas

Thanks Howie and Valley Girl. Contact info sent. I’m eternally gratetful that technology has allowed us to connect. Not too long ago I was a nominal Republican, going batshit crazy because nobody was making any sense. I heard a clip from Howard Dean somewhere, and followed links to places that felt like home.
