My message and FB post to the DCCC...

For some reason, it doesn't show up on the FB thread to which I replied. However, a few friends responded to it, so it apparently made it out there somehow. I re-sent it to them, and re-posted, but I still can't find it on the DCCC page. That kind of convinces me they've actually seen it. This was my post, in it's entirety...
 
----

I have contributed to the DCCC for years, including this one. I am also a member of the DGA. I have worked tirelessly for years on Democratic/Progressive causes both independently and as an employee of a leading Democratic advertising/advocacy company. I fully support(ed) President Obama...but if you sell out the American people with Chained CPI and more capitulation to the recalcitrant GOP House leadership regarding Social Security and Medicare, you've lost me.
 
Why is the cap on SS payroll tax off the table? Why is EVERYTHING important to the people who elected Mr. Obama OFF THE TABLE, while the GOP continues to benefit from our "compromises?" Elections used to have consequences. Now, not so much.
 
I don't know where I'll go, but I know I WON'T be with the current form of the Democratic Party. And I know I'm not alone.

Oh well. I don't expect a response, but at least I won't have to be sending them any more money.

2. A couple months ago, I sent them a nearly identical letter-no response (didn't expect one--which is part of my complaint).

I'm done with DCCC/DSCC etc---The Status Quo has run its course..at least for me.... I don't support everyone that "slaps a D" beside their name. Not every Dem votes according to their constituents desires and they ignore the Party Platform...imo.

I do still support Progressives whos votes reflect who they work For.

They'll ask for take our donations and then call us whining, retarded liberal irritants.

For me? Only their Votes matter. Their votes identify them, frames their beliefs, who they work for and who they consider their base is.

Too bad.

He slithered back the other day, but I think he's still hiding from the she-women.

Apparently when the teacher in high school was going over the topics of "we're broke" and "removing the cap off SS won't ever solve the problem," Rob McGrath was in the boy's bathroom enjoying his "special moment" with Coach Sandusky.

I hope they find him, Frank, I really do...

He probably thinks his congressman reads his e-mails too.  I bet they have his  flagged for auto-delete.

It's hard to believe there are more people on DU than you could count on your fingers who have any reason to be upset about ending the cap on FICA taxes.

For years, I've suggested to my fellow alum Skins that he take the comments of mentally-ill primitives (such as the subway cat, Dennis the Menace, the pie-and-jam primitive, &c., &c., &c.) and have those comments put on "administrative hold" for review by Skins, Lord Marblehead EarlG, or the elusive enigmatic Elad, to be sure the mentally-ill primitive isn't putting himself at risk, before those comments actually show up for the public to see.

We don't want anything bad to happen to the mentally-ill primitives, who are vulnerable to being preyed upon by the likes of the long-ago-mausoleumed Fat Che.

I always thought the same for Atman's comments--putting them on "administrative hold" for review before they show up--but for a different reason.  The guy has a habit of making himself, and those associated with him, look retarded.

This way, whenever Atman would make a comment, it would give Skins time enough to telephone Atman's wife, telling her what her husband wrote, and asking if she wants it posted, or not posted.

Well, it's fine with me when bad things happen to the DUmp's lunatics, especially if it's entertaining, like Pam's terminal gut rot, or WCGreen having himself fleld-dressed and a whole new gutpile sewn in, or Bennyboy's Squeamish Carcinoma, or their countless suicides and threatened suicides.

But the main thing we should care about is that they keep posting, high volume, in GD and the loonybin, until that bad thing tops it all off with a laugh.
