Now are you pissed off...what's it gonna take????
The House voted no on this crap. Now it's off to the Senators. You can make a difference!

Pick your Senators and click on the Web form link. It takes you to a fill in the blank and bitch form. FILL IT OUT! It will take 3 minutes tops. Send them the message that you are pissed and you aren't gonna take it anymore. There are at least 57 million of us who didn't want this administration and I would assume that not all who voted for Obama are on board for this kind of idiocy. That means 60 million+. WTF? Where is the outcry? Good God... take some control and make your voice heard!
You can now go back to searching for recipes, American Idol rejects, kittens on You Tube or whatever else is more important to you than making your voice heard.
Thank you and good night.
