Time for another DAILY KOS ROLL CALL!
Here's the last big example that we had of a roll call that we had here -- there was also one abortive effort of mine since then, but I'm going to pretend that that never happened -- so you can get a sense of the rules. You're supposed to let people know a little about yourselves. It builds community spirit. Rah!
This is a very special roll call, because you'll be weighing in not only with facts about yourself, but also reporting who you'll be calling in Congress to get a good resolution to the debt limit manufactured crisis -- as well as whether you'll be calling the President to ask that he (1) stand fast against Republican shenanigans and (2) take unilateral action to prevent default if necessary -- even if it means the Republicans commit party suicide and impeach him for saving the global economy.
So, here's what you should do: tell us
1. Your Age
2. Your Gender
3. Your town, city, state of residence
4. How you get by (occupation or other source of livelihood)
5. Who you will be calling -- or have already called, and how often -- in Congress about the manufactured debt crisis. (Note: if you want your privacy, rather than specifying a representative you can just say something like "a pencil necked sanctimonious sneering weasel who wants me to get him just one of Mr. Wonka's Everlasting Gobstoppers" and we'll figure out that you mean Eric Cantor.)
6. If you called (or will call) what you did (or will) tell your Rep. or Senator.
7. If you call the White House Comment Line, what you will tell the President to do.
8. What you're doing to help win the recall elections in Wisconsin.
It's more political than most roll calls, true, but the times seem to call for it! Have fun!
