I received this in my e-mail this morning. Please note the date and the individual you need to send your letters to.

An email sent to me for your consideration.

EVERYONE!

I am going down to Springfield on the 10th to act as a witness for Jim Sacia. I have to be there by 8:30 AM

anyway...

Bill HB4810 is coming out of committee, it's the bill that we are trying to get through where: if you are on Welfare you need to take a monthly drug test, and pass, in order to keep your benefits.

I would like everyone to send me in separate emails telling me their honest opinion about this bill.

I personally support it because as a working individual I am subject to drug testing when ever my company sees fit, and I WORK for my money.

I plan on printing these emails out, both the Pros and Cons, and take them along to Springfield with me, to present at the Capital.

Would you be comfortable sending my request out to all of your friends and committee lists?


Tell everyone: ONLY ONE EMAIL PER INDIVIDUAL, and send it to me at GOLDWINGLADY@AEROINC.NET.
I am footing the bill on this so to save me ink please, keep them short and to the point and include your name and addresses.

Sorry for the late notice but this just finally came together last night.

My deepest thanks,
Beth
P.S.
Illinois State Rifle Assoc. is having their Springfield IGOLD rally the 10th also, I hope to get to it too.
Plus ABATE is having their Legislative Day on the 11th.

I wrote about Durbin's letter today:

Durbin and Dumber: Attack of the Liberally Ill

Comment by Sandy Hotz on February 26, 2010 at 11:09am

Call Durbin's office in D.C. 202-224-2152 and tell him no way are we signing his petition. I got this in on my e-mail today. You won't believe this! Like many of you, I spent most of my day yesterday watching the H.C. Summit. Unbelievable! I have done a copy/paste for you.

Dear sandy,

The unprecedented obstructionism in the Senate today forces a rethinking and modernization of the filibuster rule.

If you're as fed up with the filibuster as I am, please sign my petition to fix it today.

It's time to end the filibuster as we know it.

The American people are sick of process blocking progress. They're fed up with an arbitrary tradition that allows a minority of Senators to prevent popular, much-needed legislation from even coming to a vote. They're exasperated with Republicans' veiled attempts to kill meaningful reform -- pleas for "more time" and "starting from scratch" -- which were on full display at yesterday's White House health care summit.

Frankly, so am I.

Sign my petition at FedUpWithTheFilibuster.com today -- and show your support for filibuster reform, such as the Harkin-Shaheen proposal, to eliminate the crippling 60-vote requirement to overcome a filibuster.

From the public option to financial reform, a few dozen Senate Republicans have used the threat of a filibuster dozens and dozens of times, blocking much of the sweeping change voters demanded when they elected President Obama and strong Democratic majorities to Congress. The right-wing obstructionists consistently misuse and abuse the filibuster simply to score political points, at the expense of the American people.

The Harkin-Shaheen proposal would continue to provide ample time for a minority of Senators to voice their concerns about legislation and seek changes. But it would eliminate the permanent 60-vote cloture requirement to overcome a filibuster, gradually reducing the necessary vote threshold as debate continues, preventing the minority from using the procedural tactic to obstruct progress indefinitely.

Commonsense proposals like this would allow a simple majority of Senators to end an obstructionist filibuster if it has dragged on for several days or weeks. And they would allow Congress to get back into the business of sending popular, much-needed legislation -- like a strong health care reform bill -- to the President's desk.

Sign my online petition today -- and show your support for the Harkin-Shaheen proposal or similar proposals to eliminate the crippling 60-vote requirement to overcome a filibuster.

Changing the filibuster is no pipe dream. In fact, back in the 1970s the Senate successfully amended what was a 67-vote cloture requirement to the current 60-vote requirement.

But the unprecedented obstructionism we find in the Senate today forces another rethinking and modernization of the filibuster rule.

By letting your Senators know you're as fed up with the filibuster as I am, we can change it, once more.

When our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution and drafted the initial rules of the Senate, they never intended requiring a supermajority to pass any and all legislation. They just wanted to be sure that Senators took time to carefully debate and consider bills before taking votes. That's exactly what reforms like the Harkin-Shaheen proposal will do.

We cannot continue to allow a minority of Senators to paralyze progress. Together we can restore majority rule and make Congress work for the American people again.

Sincerely,

Dick Durbin
U.S. Senator

I recieved this in my e-mail this morning. TIME TO GET ON THE PHONES!
I have done a copy/paste of something I received this morning. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equel, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

From a reliable source, it looks like the Health Care bill will be out as early February 21, 2010. That's Sunday! If you can take some time to make a phone call or two, I have included their numbers below. I chose to keep the Republicans off of here, because I would hope we are in less danger with them than these Statists:

Phil Hare 202-225-5905, Bill Foster 202-225-2976, Jerry Costello 202-225-5661, Deborah Halvorson 202-225-3635, Jan Schakowsky 202-225-2111, Melissa good luck with that one Bean 202-225-3711, Mark Kirk 202-225-4835, Danny Davis 202-225-5006, Mike Quigley 202-225-4061, Luis Gutierrrez 202-225-8203, Daniel Lapinski 202-225-5701, Jesse Jackson 202-225-0773, Bobby Rush 202-225-4372

We're in the final stretch and this is when your voice counts the most. Let's keep up the pressure and STOP the Abortion Mandate in Health Care!"

District 19 - let's get to work and get organized! As I see it, Conservataives need to get organized! I would like to invite you to go to www.anystreet.org. This is a national org. that is working state-by-state. You can sign up for free. if you want to access their training manual it will be a cost of $25.00 a year and believe me the training manual is well worth the price. There is also a lot of other material there to help us organize. Can you say "Conservative Community Organizing". Myself and CarolAnn Paris are co-state Directors. I have this district. Sign up and someone will call and explain the program to you, or you can contact me. I will be happy to talk with you. We will work with Resist Net, Oathkeepers, the Tea Party org., all conservative groups. You can work with your own talents and skills and time frame. No one will get overwhelmed. We are dividing the state into congressional districts, counties, cities, princints etc.... Please take a look. Time we beat the Progressives at their own game. It's the same method used to get Obama elected also the same method Scott Brown used, so it's a proven method. The method can also be used for any conservative value, not just getting conservatives elected to offices.

Judge Lowery as also been endorsed by ICAN (endorsement withdrew from Patrick Hughes) and the Independent Caucus. Judge Lowery will be the one to fight for the Constitution and will NOT be bribed with pork or pressured. He has way too much integrity and has devoted he entire life to this country and upholding the Constitution. I have been to many debates, listened, spoke with, and done all the research I can on all the candidates for Senate. If we want to get someone in the Senate that has Conservative values, has integrity and morals, Judge Lowery is the individual. All the rest will be business as usual.
