And it’s scaring Congress.
Good.

From World Net Daily: Guess how many pink slips you’ve sent Congress:
News conference, media attention spurs total to 5.5 million sent
WASHINGTON – With more members of Congress extolling it and the news media reporting on it, the “Send Congress a pink slip” campaign, organized by WND columnist Janet Porter and WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah, experienced its biggest day ever with another half-million notices sent.
Yesterday, four members of the House of Representatives hailed the program in a Capitol news conference, saying it is getting the attention of members on both sides of the aisle.
“It’s an amazing feat, to get that many slips to Congress,” Rep. Steven King, R-Iowa, one of the four members at the press conference, told WND. “If you look through them, you can index each one back to an individual. That’s powerful. There is a person behind each one of the slips.”
For just $29.95 you can send an individualized notice to every member of Congress in the form of a “pink slip.”
King was joined at the press conference by Reps. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., Trent Franks, R-Ariz., and Louis Gohmert, R-Texas.
In addition, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., was interviewed about the campaign by Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren.
“This is putting everyone on notice,” he said. “And I think this is what the American people have been doing for months now, saying if you keep spending and borrowing, you’re going to get fired.”
Also, for the first time, CNN and other news outlets covered the unprecedented campaign that has generated 5.5 million pink slips to members of the House and Senate.
“Our goal from the beginning was to generate 5 million of these notices,” said Farah. “But it now appears we might just be getting started.”
Bachmann cheered the program on, saying she agrees with the campaign and that it is having a major impact on her colleagues. She said she was surprised that so many pink slips were generated even though most Americans had never heard of the program.

She said it’s clear the message – delivered through a stack of “pink slips” now standing approximately five feet high in congressional offices – is getting through.
The “pink slips” remind members of Congress they actually work for the taxpayers and list four governmental plans that are unacceptable:
* government health care
* cap and trade
* “hate crimes”
* any more uncontrolled spending“If you vote for any of these, your real pink slip will be issued in the next election,” it warns.
The program already has been the talk of Congress, albeit not always on the floor of the House or Senate.
“They’re talking about it, but they’re only talking about it behind closed doors and in the elevators as they go up and down and in very whispered tones,” Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., has said. “Because, what you hear are people saying, ‘How many of those did you get or how many people came to your office today? And what are you going to do and how are you going to vote on this?’”
DeMint told Porter on a recent radio show that some of the bills now pending in Congress already would have been law had it not been for the “pink slips” appearing in inboxes daily.

Because of the onslaught of vulgar, left-wing extremist hate comments (often with the F-word, or worse) against Sarah Palin and/or her children, anti-Palin comments are not accepted for posting. Don't waste your time trying. There are plenty of liberal blogs and Obama-run media articles out there bashing Palin... post your hate-driven criticisms on one of those sites. My blog, my rules.
Great Post !
It takes this effort for the American People to make their voices heard.
This tells me that these “representatives” that we elected, and pay have gotten to the point of bribery to get the votes needed in the senate to pass a bill that the American People DO NOT WANT !!!
E-mails are deleted, phone calls are dismissed, pink slips cannot be denied.
We’ll see what happens with this bill.
Thomas Paine said “do not vote a rod against yourself”, (paraphrased).
What he means is the congress should not impose laws on the people that they would not want to live under themselves.
Problem is, congress has exempted themselves from the rules and regulations they impose on U.S.
Term limits should be mandatory.
2010,..We vote again!
Great program, but still recovering from 9 months of unemployment. Wish I could spend the money! Unfortunately I doubt it would make an impact on the clowns that represent my state; Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley never met a tax they didn’t like.
Amen to that, Marilyn… so many people are in that horrible unemployment boat. But you can send your own emails to Congress for free, or forward a link from here to friends and family so that they, too, know about it. They then, may forward it on to some other people, and so on, and so on.
Never underestimate the power of one person.
