Another one of those "still alive" posts

If you stop by here once in awhile, you already know I'm still alive because you've seen the tweets that show up on the right sidebar.

No tweeting today, however, as it's been shut down by some kind of hack attack.

The AP article at the above link sneers that Twitter is used for "tweeting about lunch plans, the weather or the fact that Twitter is down."

Perhaps. But if they were paying attention, they might have noticed that Twitter becamse a vital link for information coming out of Iran during the early days of the protests there, and is currently a potent source of truth about the Obamacare bills in Congress as well the other horrors coming out of this administration.

So I'm a little lost without Twitter right now. I was going to tweet about how I called Senator Kohl's office this morning to ask him, again, when he's going to be meeting with the citizens of Wisconsin during the recess ("those plans haven't been finalized yet", according to his Milwaukee office), and to urge him to please vote "no" on the extended Cash for Clunkers fiasco.

That bit of news will have to go untweeted.

But now YOU know, anyway.

And by the way, have you called your Senators today? Or your Congressman? We have to keep the pressure on, so that they know we are not going to tolerate our nation becoming a socialist state.

When you call, be sure to let them know that you are not being paid to call, or to show up at townhall meetings, and that you don't work for the health insurance industry or some evil right-wing organization. (Assuming, that is, that you don't!) Let them know that Nancy Pelosi in 100% wrong in thinking that our protest is astroturf.

By the way -- a little bit of irony -- I'm typing this post using the guest wireless available at my Dad's dentist's office, courtesy of Pro Health Care.

But that still doesn't make me a member of the medical health insurance lobby: just someone who's grateful for the free wireless made available to me today.
