Ben Nelson votes to confirm new U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder

<< < (2/3) > >>

Nelsen has caved on alot of things recently. I have called his office numerous times this week...got voice mail full a couple of times...then repeated busy signal. I finally got through the fourth day. I got alot of tap dancing from the aid I talked to. Ben is no friend to Nebraska just like Hagel.

huskergun:
 Nelson got both barrels from me yesterday regarding the pork bil and holder. I also reminded him that he could also go the way of Hagel if he continues to support this Socialist / want to be dictator. Yes all I got was blablabla in return.

You have to stop at the local office, Lincoln, Omaha... STOP IN  and politely but firmly state your displeasure... They value each stop in as representing a couple hundred voters ...

Now "ole Ben" is stuck with the pack, Pelosi, Reid, etc... Wants to "make nice" but...

Daschel, Tom is case in point. How was he beaten' like a step child??? The Republicans FINALLY told the voters in SD how he voted in Washington DC... Two faced bum was running with and voting with the mushy headed liberal DC crowd, completely unlike the values of SD voters... You notice he did not return to SD, might have starved... and Obama tried to get him a job in Fed. health care... Should ask some "injuns" in SD how good the health care is/was under Tom D... Senator...

Wouldn't hurt to mention "Tom the red faced" to Uncle Ben... I think it was E. Dirkson who used to say "when they feel the heat, they see the light..."

Calls? Email? Doesn't show the interest/commitment a stop and visit does or inspire the concern/fear... Or you do what the NRA teaches and go on losing ground...

I disagree with you, iiranger.

First locally...there are plenty of NE senators who have responded with gratitude for the e-mails re LB430...true, some don't respond or at least they tell ya that they don't concur with ya...but the author of LB430 as well as others in the state who support it have taken the time to express their appreciation and support.

Second nationally....the last time a couple of years ago when the House/Senate was considering an amnesty bill for illegal immigrants to the U.S., there were tons of calls and e-mails to U.S. representatives....and guess what, the proposed legislation got killed big time.  I don't recall throngs of folks (legal citizens) marching into offices as much as I do about the verbal and written communications.  However, I do remember the throngs of folks (illegal immigrants and their supporters) marching in the streets of big cities, and usually with huge blatant signs that disrespected this country....which did not get them very far in their cause.

So, again, I disagree with what you say about calls and e-mails.  Hey, if you want to go personally visit, go for it.  But please don't diss the folks who are also expressing themselves through the other venues.

I  belong to a organization called www.numbersusa.com. We have bombarded the house and senate over illegal immigration numerous times.We also hammered Ben Nelson this time for his on again off again support of illegals.
