Paul Ryan wants to hear from US re: ACA - call info

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's office is conducting a phone poll, hoping to hear overwhelming opposition to the Affordable Care Act. Here's how you can participate:

Call (202) 225-0600.... (be patient until the recording starts) Press 2 to weigh in on the issue. You'll hear a recording about the bill to repeal it, then Press 1 to support continuing the ACA. It takes less than 2 minutes!
Copy, paste, pass it on!!

The lines are jammed (as of Sunday noon). Let's keep calling and the keep the lines jammed. And follow it up with emails and letters.

No doubt hoping that most callers hang up. Just stay on and when the recording stops (no need to listen to the tripe flowing forth), press 1.

There is no opportunity to leave comments as the speaker's inbox is full.

I called my R congresscritter at his local office. Told the staffer I knew Speaker Ryan was interested in hearing about what people thought of the ACA and that I was unable to get through on the speaker's line, so I thought I'd call my rep directly to voice my support for the ACA. That taking health coverage away from American citizens was inhumane.
