Boy is this list old.  Norm Coleman hasn't been in office for five years! But go ahead and call him, I'm sure that he'd love to hear from people.  And, just off the bat, I see about a dozen others that aren't in office anymore either. Eric Massa, Christopher Lee and Weiner, of course, all resigned for sex scandals.  Feingold and Grayson aren't in office anymore either (regrettably).

Then do a google serach for your state's Rep and Senator, then contact them.  Even if you are government educated you should be able to handle it.

I know who my rep and Senator are, that's not the problem.  If you are trying to enlist people to help fight your latest conspiracy theory, shouldn't you at least get them the right information?  I mean how much help could Eric Massa be at this point?  He was the guy that had those tickle parties back when he was in the navy with MALE crewmen.  David Obey, Bob Bennett, Arlen Specter, Patrick Kennedy are all retired.  Ted Kennedy is still on the list and he's dead!  Get an updated list, bub!

Vol,

It seems like you have no problem whatsoever with passing around bad information.

Fortunately the rest of us have higher standards.

The Media’s Blackout Of The National Defense Authorization Act Is Shameful
       

David Seaman
Business Insider
Thursday, December 1, 2011

The broadcast media’s ignorance and unwillingness to cover the National Defense Authorization Act, a radical piece of legislation which outrageously redefines the US homeland as a “battlefield” and makes US citizens subject to military apprehension and detainment for life without access to a trial or attorney, is unacceptable.

Guys, this is far more important than Penn State’s Disgusting Creep of the Decade, or even Conrad Murray’s sentencing.

Call it what you will: a military junta, a secret invalidation of Americans’ civil rights, a Congress gone mad. Whatever it is, it needs to be covered by the press, and quickly.

Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams, Rachel Maddow, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Neil Cavuto and the other handful of household names that mainstream America relies on for news should be talking about this non-stop.

I emailed producers and on-air talent at the three major cable news networks yesterday: not one of them was willing to step up to the plate and report on this appalling legislation, which would give Americans roughly the same protections as citizens in China or Saudi Arabia.
Bloggers and the ACLU’s analysis have already made the work easy for you guys. Even an ADD segment producer can do the math:

- Pay special attention to Section 1031 of the bill.
- This bill violates the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385), as it will allow federal military personnel to engage in domestic law enforcement. This is profoundly unconstitutional and scary.
- Also read Sen. Lindsey Graham’s chilling defense of the offending provision in this bill, calling to make the homeland a “battlefield.” Has anyone told these guys that Osama bin Laden and his deputies are dead? Those still alive are running from drone strikes on a daily basis. So who exactly are we fighting against? Are you protecting us from a handful of (almost entirely peaceful) college kids at the Occupy protests? If so, martial law and throwing out 200+ years of basic civil rights seems rather excessive.
- Finally, as the ACLU points out, you won’t have any trouble booking an expert talking head who will tell you how dangerous and counterproductive the National Defense Authorization Act is: “The Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the FBI and the head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division have all said that the indefinite detention provisions in the NDAA are harmful and counterproductive.” Book one of them on your program, and do it quickly. The Senate has already rejected an amendment which would have banned the indefinite detention provisions from the bill.

Please, do your jobs. This is the kind of story that wins journalism awards and makes careers. It’s the kind of story that makes viewers trust you.
UPDATE: To the mainstream media’s credit, Keith Olbermann of Current TV has now mentioned the NDAA’s harmful provision, and I’ve been told that Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC is drawing attention to it as well. A good start, but not nearly enough.

The White House has stated it will veto the bill due to the provision, but not necessarily for the reasons most critics are concerned with. They instead believe that the bill takes power away from the president and hands it to the military: “Any bill that challenges or constrains the President’s critical authorities to collect intelligence, incapacitate dangerous terrorists, and protect the Nation would prompt the President’s senior advisers to recommend a veto.”

Yeah unlike Palpatine, Obama won't even go through with the illusion that the GALACTIC SENATE US Legislature has voted him "emergency powers".  Obama just assumes them on his own.

Yeah, you aren't reading it again correctly:

The Senate passed this crap, Obama had nothing to do with it.
Obama's people have said they are going to veto the bill because they don't want the Senate micromanaging the 'war on terror.'

The Senate is behind this, not Obama.
End of story!

Lame answer!
Why do you think Dick Cheney was so outspoken about the way Obama was conducting the 'war on terror?" Because he wasn't using the same barbaric torture techniques, that's why!

Where is the Congressional Declaration, per the US Constitution, for any of these wars that Cheney & Obama have gotten us into ?

Someone should revoke Obama's Constitutional Degree.  He obviously has forgotten it.

I like the way that you keep equating Obama with Bush. First off, Obama got you into one military action that got no Americans killed in Libya and it is over now.

Everything else, from the Somali pirates, to the cruise missiles fired in Pakistan to anything else in Africa was done to take out terrorists.

While Bush got you into TWO wars, killing thousands!  Hundreds of thousands on the other side.

Oh, and great job being all concerned now that there was no war declaration now that Obama is in charge.

Did you care when Reagan invaded Grenada?
How about when Bush Sr.started the Gulf War or invaded Panama?
How about when Clinton got us involved in the Balkans or Somalia?
Or W. got us involved in Iraq or Afghanistan?

Probably didn't care one bit when they did it, but when the black man is in charge, you, like a lot of other ones out there are now SOOO concerned with the Constitution. Give me a break.  If you didn't say anything about any of those, you don't have any right to mention anything that happened in THIS administration.

I nearly wasn't allowed in the US Army, cuz I kept bring up the point that unless Congress actually declares war then no military action is legal.  This was back in 1991.  Before that I was in High School and I didn't pay attention to politics.

None of this has anything to do with Obama's skin color.  Why do you keep bringing this up all the time ?  All un-Declared Wars are un-Constitutional no matter who is President.  There hasn't been a Constitutionally Declared War since WW2.  Therefore if you were drafted for the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War 1 & 2, and refused to serve then you could not legally be arrested for refusing to serve.
