Each of us is responsible for our own life -- including protection thereof. Republicans talk the talk, but cave when the going gets tough. Hell, not even tough; just when Bubba or some other Demo a-hole speaks crossly to them. The latest "gun control" flip-flop is typical of Republicans.

Make no mistake, both parties are really the same. They want you helpless, dependent, stupid, apathetic, drugged out ... all to increase their power at your expense.

More and more, it looks like the only solution is that outlined in the book "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross, available from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) or Loompanics (http://www.loompanics.com)

Does anyone know of some net (e-mail) service that will take a message and blast it to all members of Congress, the White House, the Supremes, etc.? How to spam the a-holes and overload their servers?

-- A (A@AisA.com), May 14, 1999.

you could get their addresses from the house and senate sites and put them all in one category in your address book. i use mine that way, but i'm only doing 3 at a time. (WOW..would it really overload their server?)

Easy. I can also shut them down, probably get on the news, but only if you have an escape plan or will pay for my lawyer. Lookup 'Denial of Service'

Just send them a couple hundred virus...

not arguing that the Republicans aren't wimps, just a suggestion that spamming the whitehouse might raise your visibility a tad more than you might want, you know?

You know, just because the politicians are lying cheats with hidden agendas, doesn't mean that the rest of the population has to demean themselves and stoop to their levels.

Why not just be better than them in all you endeavors. If we get enough people acting in an honourable way, perhaps one honourable person will lead the country one day...

Sarah: I don't know what limits are -- but sending out a big bunch at a time would overload YOUR server. Don't want that. Don't know what "big bunch" is. Ask your ISP. Limits may be different from ISP to ISP. You could do a whole lot more than just three at a time.

-- A (A@AisA.com), May 14, 1999.

Sarah: I doubt if you sent messages to each of the 500 or 600 and all were on one server that would be a problem to them.

I was looking for something like the Libertarian party had set up for the anti- "Know Your Customer" campaign.

but more "general purpose"

Arlin: Yeah, I know. But when they already are shoving it in, I think they already know you're there.

I just fired off this letter to both of our spineless Republican Senators from Texas, I would encourage each of you to do the same.

Senators Hutchinson and Gramm. I am deeply saddened, and frankly angered by the Republican majority caving in to the Socialist Democrats gun control plans this week. Anyone with even a passing aquaintence with the United states Constitution can tell you that the primary reason for the Second Amendment is to ensure that the People shall retain sufficient and capable weaponry to defend themselves against domestic government run amok, and against foreign invasion. All attacks against So- Called assault weapons in this light are clearly Unconstitutional, and represent a clear and present danger to our Constitutionally Acknowledged God Given rights, and your support of said legislation is a clear violation of your Oath to Support and Defend the Constitution Of the United States.

We The People of the Great State of Texas have elected you as our Representative in this in our Republican form of Government. Your job, as our Representative, is not to bow to every opinion poll or political action committee, but to stand firm on Constitutional Issues. This is the entire reason we have a Republican form of government, to prevent democratic chaos and anarchy from rendering this into a nation without direction, guided only by the polls of the moment. Our Freedoms as Citizens of this once great nation are under constant assault by the NWO globalist and the Socialist Democrats who pursue their agenda and their money.

Please rejoin the ranks of Patriotic Americans who are fighting a last rearguard action against the destruction of our National Sovereignity, and of our Rights as American Citizens. We have seen the Treasonous actions of our President place this country in great peril from nuclear anihilation, and his Unconstitutional declaration of war against Serbia, which is further destabilizing an already intolerably dangerous situation. His destruction of the American Military coupled with the castration of our nuclear defenses and insane foreign policy have led us to a point of extreme vulnerability, and in fact invite an all out nuclear attack on this Nation and her People. I suspect that the Communist powers are planning such an attack even now, and are merely waiting for the GPS rollover and Y2K problems to initiate. We as American citizens will need all the firepower we can muster to stem a follow on invasion of this country if this comes to pass.

Irreguardless of the Communist threat, and the Treasonous actions of the fornicator in chief, these gun control laws will only lead to the creation of millions of felons in this country, and the disenfranchisement of the Most loyal and far sighted American citizens of their voting rights as we en masse refuse to obey these Unconstitutional Laws. The Federal Government is directly responsible for the growth of violence in our culture, through their ill advised welfare programs, the removal of school prayer, revolving door prison systems, totally mismanaged and overcrowded school systems, failure to secure the borders against immigration of machismo oriented Latinos who have spread this culture like a virus among the gangs, destruction of our industrial infrastructure and thereby job security, and a totally farcial war on drugs.

We The People of this once great nation demand that Government accept responsibility for its actions, or lack thereof, and cease and desist from violations of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We demand that the Federal Reserve be abolished, and the power of printing money be returned to the Federal Treasury instead of a private corporation, and that all frivolous debts to this corrupt and Unconstitutional band of robbers be declared null and void. We demand that the War Powers act, and the power of Presidential Orders be immediately repealed, and the legislative power be returned to the congress. We demand that the Supreme Court upholds its Oath to preserve and Defend the Constitution, and stop interpreting the said document to fit the needs of the moment. We demand that henceforth any Unconstitutional law offered for consideration before Congress result in the instant impeachment of the Authors and sponsors for violation of their Oath of office, and for TREASON.

We Republicans are neither blind, nor deaf. We see what is going on in Washington D.C., and are outraged by it. As Texans we have already seen first governor Bush, and now our Elected Senators turncoat on the gun control issue, and knuckle under to psuedo communist-socialist forces in our government. We implore you to do your duty, and remove us from this path which will ultimately result in either civil war or the destruction of this nation. THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The founders of this country in their wisdom delivered to us the means to keep our freedom secure from Government infringements. As God is my witness, If the Government of this country cannot see fit to abstain from fits of drunken abuse of power and corruption by big money interest, this right will be exercised by the remnant of American Citizens who have the intelligence not to be blinded by media propoganda, and an understanding of just how corrupt our government has become.
