But don't expect to hear a word about it from elsewhere in media

Pink slips spotted on Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON – The congressional pink slips campaign has already generated almost a three-foot-tall stack of paper in the Capitol office of each individual senator and representative, says Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and one of the organizers of the effort to rein in spending and Washington power grabs.

But it gets better, he says.

If the 4 million pink slips were piled on each other, the stack would be two and a half times as high as the Washington Monument.

If the 4 million pink slips were placed end to end, they would reach from the District of Columbia to Detroit, Mich., or Portland, Maine.

Picture pink slips laid end to end wrapping around the Washington beltway 8.3 times – or completely covering 19 football fields or making a swatch of paper 43 feet wide from the Capitol steps to the Lincoln Memorial.

That's what has already been delivered to Congress -- warnings that if the debt-inducing spending and unconstitutional power grabs continue, there will be a lot of new faces elected in 2010.

But don't expect to read, hear or see anything about this elsewhere in the "mainstream media," warns Farah.

"This is an unprecedented program, but the rest of the news media seems determined to downplay it – even spike any mention of it," says Farah. "It's just like the tea parties and the massive rally in Washington and the town hall coverage – non-existent."

Members of both the House and Senate are going on the record to commend WND for its dramatic "pink slips" campaign notifying members of Congress that they will be permanently "pink-slipped" in 2010 if they vote for bigger and more intrusive government.

"We've already received thousands of pink slips in our office, and I think this is a good wake-up call for Congress," said Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., the latest member of Congress to weigh in. "I'm encouraged that Americans across the country are standing up and speaking out for constitutional, limited government. Congress needs to get the message loud and clear: stop the spending, stop the takeovers, and stand up for our freedoms."

The total number of "pink slips" shipped to members of Congress telling them their bosses don't want government control of health care, energy or speech is more than 4 million.
