Honda’s number is incorrectly listed. The correct number is 202-225-2631.

No one was in his office but I left a message. Honda has been progressive in the past…hopefully he will wake up.

The Autocrat/ Elite orders threatens, blackmails but they do not persuade with logic to get a consensus.
They use fear and hate for lizard brains but none of the positive emotions we must try consciously to not be like them ever.
Wrong reason, method, end goal in the end it all leads to more wrong even if we succeed once or several times.
Rahm has not learned the lessons of the Bush Presidency mistakes are quite instructive.

Bill Foster (D-14), a blue dog Rahm recruit for the Hastert seat. Aide says he has not declared either way yet. He campaigned on timeline exit from Iraq, but then so did our president.

So Rahm or Machiavelli as you laughingly pattern yourself tell me if no GOPer votes for something they want much much more than we do
Then we get all the blame from our base and the GOP get to use this vote to hammer on us in the next election and ~~fuel~~ fill their tea bags.
Wiley E Coyote seems to have taught you strategy I take it not Machiavelli or Sun Tze.

Andre Carson (D- IN7):

No update from aides today, but I did manage to get a number for his COS, and have left a message requesting a call-back.

Hey - it’s possible.

Great News Jane! The Corporate Wing of the GOP wants this so why isn’t Rahm getting more cooperation from the GOP?
Why does he want our Lefties to stick their heads out on an unpopular bill that violates our ideas?
The Corporate GOP though loves this or are they to scared of the antibank Tea Baggers?

Hi Jane. Reps are much more interested in hearing from constituents than non-. Think it would help to tell folks it’s particularly important to call if they see one of theirs on the list?
