WTF Are You Thinking?!!! - A "virtual" initiative to deal with idiot legislators
Advertisement
This movement is being initiated after discovering that about the only way to get the attention of the hard-headed politicians of Kansas is apparently through the use of "angry, vile" emails (as was the case when Senator Ty Masterson cancelled the committee hearing on a bill - SB 311 - as a result of a deluge of such supposed emails). He had apparently been un-phased by polite emails - probably hadn't even been reading them - because he'd been initiating and promoting all sorts of mean-spirited, nasty, idiotic bills for the people of Kansas to deal with against their wishes. And he wasn't the only such legislator by any means.
The thinking here is to not literally send "angry, vile" emails, but to simply use the email subject line of,
"WTF ARE YOU THINKING?!!!",
in order to get their attention. If enough people would use this subject line in conjunction with emails to their legislators regarding legislation that they are strongly opposed to, it would be much more visibly apparent that people were not happy with what they were doing and they might be more inclined to do more listening to their constituency.
Think of this as a public service that might just turn into a movement.
Informaton in regard to legislation or legislators that might qualify for such email titles will occasionally be posted via this event site so that people will be aware of such issues and concerns. And while it will likely be possible for those "Going" or "Interested" to post such notifications, I would like to caution you that over-posting is the quickest way to get people to turn off their "notifications" from such events so that they aren't unneccesarily pestered. The intent is to maintain interest and promote the growth of the event/movement.
Please do me a favor and at least select "Interested" and invite a few of your more radical friends to this event (people who might at least think that this might get people's attention and might be willing to invite a few of their friends and let them in on this as well) and/or post a link to the event on your FB wall. That's what it takes to get an initiative like this rolling.
Thanks for your assistance.
