		<description>I couldn&#039;t find a place for the note as well, but it&#039;s probably for the best, as I couldn&#039;t think of anything adult or mature to put in it anyway. Sent the tweet out to my followers (most of whom follow #TCOT anyway), but this was a great idea and fun! 

I thought a sock puppet would also be fun, but those cost a bit more than the putty.

Thanks Erick!</description>

		<description>The TN GOP is encouraging people to send plastic coins like 30 pieces of silver. I may send both.

Unfortunately he can&#039;t be recalled but I gurantee you he will not be re-elected in 2010. His district is in the heart of a Republican stronghold and his alliance with Jimmy Naifeh and the House Dems will not help him there. If the state party kicks him out, he won&#039;t even be allowed on the primary ballot.</description>

		<description>asked all my tweets to retweet it to their tweets BECAUSE this will only have the expected fun if at least 50 get sent :-)  I hope it&#039;s that high because it will hopefully make their local news!</description>

		<description>Walmart has the double pack - two eggs for $2.44.  What a deal.  Just have to drop it off in the mail room, and that&#039;s done.  Incredibly satisfying feeling!  Egg-ellent idea, Red State.  You rock.</description>

		<description>...but why doesn&#039;t Williams&#039; district just recall  him?  I don&#039;t know what the Tennessee Constitution permits in regard to recall elections, but it may be worth looking into.  When I lived in California in the 90s, there were two occasions in which Republican members of the CA Assembly pulled stunts very similar to Williams stunt in Tennessee (in fact, one of them was identical), and both were recalled and sent packing in short order.  Read about them at the web addresses shown below (sorry, I was unable to turn them into hyperlinks in this post - not sure if it isn&#039;t permitted, or if there&#039;s just a different way to do it here).

California rank and file Republicans already have to put up with enough garbage from the Democrats in that state - so they have very little tolerance for betrayal from within.  I frankly wish more people around the country would take a lesson from them.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m somewhat up on this. There were several that we figure may have caved &amp; or turned, however he was the only one - &amp; the only one needed, it turns out. 

I&#039;ll send him some silly putty, however I&#039;ll also be travel to his district in 10 to help his primary opponent.

The TN republican party is moving pretty quick to smite him, so I figure they knew something was in the works. This happened in 2005 with another Williams, Mike Williams, who voted for the Democrat speaker. What this guy did was worse, becoming a Democrat tool. The Democrat cabal in the TN legislature is called the &quot;hillbilly mafia&quot; for a reason.</description>
