Roll Call! How many Senators' offices have you called today?

[bj2110]

Senate switchboard: 800-839-5276

List of Senators by Party:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?OrderBy=party&Sort=ASC


Ask for a Senator, any Senator. Urge them to stand with Conyers on Thursday.

Ask them if you can fax this document:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=221594&mesg_id=221594&page=

If they ask if you're a constituent of the respective State, tell them that Senators work for their country, not their state.

This will make a difference. About half of the offices I have called today have commented on the fact that they have received many calls on the subject today alone. Help make this every Senator's priority for the week.

If you haven't called a Senator, pick up the phone.

[proud patriot]

1. I called Boxer's office

She's being swamped ,I was on hold w/ classical
music for a few minutes. I let her office know
California Has her back , and that if she stands
up she'll be standing up for half of America .

[keepthemhonest]

2. ok I'll start calling

if everytime you run across a freeper this week go to this site and send an email.Fair?Fair. OK

http://www.pdamerica.org

HOW LONG CAN THEY HIDE IT?

[keepthemhonest]

3. Is anyone there today?

I just called baxer and edwards and got no anwere not even a message machine.That is only two,just wondering.

[iconoclastNYC]

4. Clinton, Schumer, Boxer

And i called my mother in Ohio to tell her to call her Senators and all her liberal friends to do the same, I called someone I know from Iowa and he's going to call everyone he knows in Iowa to call.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

46. I called them too! Also Dayton and Chafee. Will call more a little later.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

49. Add Bill Nelson, Byrd and Kennedy to my list. :) More later!

[Woodstock Liberal]

5. Corzine, Lautenberg and Byrd

... and more to be called

[zann725]

6. Thank you for informing us that they work for 'country, not just state'...

as I actually received what appeared to be a form letter response last week from one of the Senator's offices...informing me that he could NOT respond to my issue raised as I was NOT a constitutent?!!

Maybe later I'll remember which Senator it was, so we could shower him with emails. I just remember feeling it was a rude response for a public servant (but maybe some have forgotten that...since for the last few elections they've not actually been elected by TRUE popular vote).

[bj2110]

7. kick

[IndyPriest]

8. Biden, Levin, Reid, Stabenow. Sarbanes

[SlowDownFast]

9. I called Senator Carl Levin today.....

at his DC office. The secretary acknowledged Conyers letter. She was kind of a bitch, brushed me off, said thank you, i'll pass the message on and hung up, without even asking me my name or address.

on edit: I also emailed last week.

[mycatforpresident]

17. Call Debbie Stabenow also...

Her DC office just told me they hadn't gotten very many calls, though they are not sure of the number of emails.

[phone]

Called Carl this morning, asked what the criteria would be for his contest, i.e. definitive proof of fraud, etc. His aide said that Carl had not made a statement one way or the other. I said that since time was of the essence, they should probably have some prepared message on the matter to contituents. He didn't agree or disagree.

Hmph.

[Broken Acorn]

10. Called Boxer's office this morning on my way to work

I had to wait 10 minutes to get through.

Told the receptionist that millions of Californians will back her if she challenges the election.

[nashville_brook]

11. i've been emailing -- is that bad?

[bj2110]

12. Phone calls are more effective....

Which would you more likely respond to? An impersonal e-mail, or an unrehearsed person-person phone call? Yes, you'll just be talking toa staff member, but voice transmits much more than word alone.

[nashville_brook]

16. i'm writing personal emails -- it's good for my soul

plus, a decent writing exercise and i hate the phone.

[EFerrari]

13. My husband and I both called Boxer and Feinstein. Boxer's

phones are ringning off the hook.

[seito]

14. Awesome

I am trying to fax Senator Boxer's Sac office. I keep getting a busy signal :) That is probably good news.

[liberal43110]

15. Called Voinovich (Repug) from Ohio

Since I live in Ohio, I thought it would make sense to call a senator from my state. Voinovich's office was completely disinterested in the subject, simply said "OK." Losers.

[IndyOp]

57. Boxer wants to hear from Ohioans!! Call her too!

[liberal43110]

18. Wyden, Lautenberg, Kennedy, Feinstein

In addition to Voinovich earlier. Still calling...

[euler]

19. 18

[Chelsea Patriot]

20. Schumer and Rodham Clinton's offices--DC and NYC offices

I have also mailed letters to about a dozen Senators.

I will be continuing to call and send faxes throughout this week.

[Carolab]

21. Spoke to mine

got a meeting

[bj2110]

23. Great! Who? When? Be sure to update us on the results... n/t

[planetc]

28. How the heck did you get a meeting? Let us know if we could try. nt

[AmerDem]

22. Kennedy and Feinstein

The guy from Feinstein's office was very interested and pleasant. The guy from Kennedy's office was abrupt and tried from the get go to dump our phone call, of course I didn't let him.

[vlad]

24. I contacted my always informative Santorum....

I need to scrub my brain out now. Every communication is to inform me that HIS facts are correct and he loves to hear from me.. He doesn't comment on the ones that ask how he is a Christian but votes in the senate against the poor, among other things....
Specter is in the republicans for choice or something, and I remember one of their spokeWOMEN coming on tv to say that they'll take the people who highjacked their party down(whether they're in office or not).
But Santorum.. anyone want to call him?

[AmerDem]

25. last time I contacted Santorum's office I was subtley threatened

I had the misfortune of dealing with a couple of kids dealing with my issue. The first hung up and after calling back and really letting the other have it was told sarcastically that he was glad he had my info ( name, ect.) and he would make sure things would be taken care of. Through words you don't get the direct threat he was throwing out. I called the Washington office to lodge a complaint and no one ever returned my phone calls on the issue.

Santorum is one of the most vile of the vile. With the distance schooling of his children scandal I hope we have a decent candidate to take the bastard out!

[Wilms]

26. McCain. Didn't want the Republicans thinking we're slighting them. n/t

[GetTheRightVote]

71. Someone called John McCain office & it seems he is open to hearing

about the election fraud issues.

I am calling him and I hope others will as well.

:kick:

You never know where the hero may come from.....

[mary195149]

27. I faxed and emailed to all the Democrats

and some of the republican senators and am starting phone calls.
Only called Boxer and Clinton. The person answering the phone said they would be happy to pass on to the senators. They have gotten quite a lot of phone calls.

[planetc]

29. 27 out of about 100

I just printed off a list of senators and started checking them off. Got polite office people on the phone, and gave them my brief pointed message. If they pointed out I wasn't a constituent (What part of Tennessee are you from?) I pointed out that all senators represented all Americans, not just the voters in their state. One Rep. office said she would add my name to the list. Everybody was nice and polite, and the switchboard operators sounded exhausted at the end of the day.

I'm going to skip Frist and Bunning--otherwise, every senator gets a call. This is actually fun. Especially on their dime.

[bj2110]

30. kick

[joevoter]

33. Mine - Wyden 14 times

Call the distict offices and talk/fax to the staffers. Here is a link to an easy to use site that I made.

www.votewyden.org

[Wilms]

34. 33 Senators...and please call Sen. Chafee, ya' all.

Took one hour. And I'll finish the list.

Call Chafee. He's a Dem Leaning Republican who's office told me they're keeping a tally. Ring him and welcome him to the party.

<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x236464>

[iconoclastNYC]

39. Left a message for Chafee

The key thing is to say, we cannot have elections that may allow rogue elements of a party to use illegal methods to give an advantage to thier candidate.

We have to appeal to moderates and show them that they aren't going to win thier primaries if the cons can use fraud to defeat them.

[rumpel]

66. wrote webform mail

35. Faxed to: Lincoln, Pryor, Nelson, Boxer, Clinton, Corzine,

40. FAXED TO 10 SENATORS using this automatic fax letter

http://www.lightwingarts.com/speakout.htm

Just scrolled to the fax link - Super easy

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

50. Thank you! Just faxed all 10 and passed the link on to my mailing list!

[suziedemocrat]

41. Called Bayh's office - they seem very stressed out and a little bitchy.

They kept putting me on hold - then they must have taken me off hold by mistake because I could hear them complaining about the last caller until they realized I could hear them .... "he said well I really think you should.... oh wait .... hello?" Ha ha!! ;-)

Also called Lugars office - they seemed oh so calm and nice. I sometimes think Lugar would challenge the election before Bayh would.

[sueh]

77. emailed web forms today to 45 Demoratic senators.

42. Keep this kicked!

[moesse]

45. Did my own letter

personalizing it, but sent it by fax or e-mail to all dems and Jeffords and calling those I couldn't get a fax or direct e-mail address for (including Sen. Obama and Salazar).

I will lose faith in the Democratic Party and maybe even leave it if they do not show backbone. And I've been a strong supporter for more than 10 years.

The text of my letter:
========================================================
Dear Senator:

Please do not certify the electors tomorrow!

My two sons (my only children) are going to be fighting in Iraq this year to ensure free and fair elections and yet here in the United States, so many egregious irregularities took place that our presidential election was neither free nor fair.

I have spent many hours watching CSpan and Congr. Conyers hearings. If you value the democratic process, you MUST spend the time to familiarize yourself with the issues he has explored.

Please, I beg you, for my son’s sakes, and because it is your duty: Do not certify the electors tomorrow and insist on investigation into the 2004 Presidential election. We cannot call ourselves free when elections are not fair. I am sending this fax to every single Democratic Senator because you as a party need to exercise commitment to democracy.


Very truly yours,

[KatieB]

47. Powerful letter-our prayers to your kids in Iraq

[GetTheRightVote]

72. Thank you for your sons serve to our nation, I hope they are home soon to

you and your family.

:kick:

[crispini]

48. Kick.

Reid, Boxer, Chafee, Kay Bailey (my senator), Nelson, Byrd, Clinton.

Fax-y fax-y! You can find fax numbers at www.congress.org.

Who else?

[Bouvet_Island]

52. Wow, there are alot of pretty girls on this forum!

I would like to suggest people use a regular fax as well as the Efax solution, it makes more of a statement and can´t be filtered as easily.

I am sending faxes with a big Norwegian flag on it.

[buddysmellgood]

51. I called Boxer, Feingold, Kohl and Clinton

[Wilms]

53. More...calls. Must...make...more calls n/t

[loudsue]

54. CALLED EVERY SINGLE DEM SENATOR,....and a few repukes...

I'm all dialed out! Whew!

:kick::kick::kick:

[Amaryllis]

55. Meeting with my senator's aide in a couple hours.

[mamalone]

56. I just called Schumer and Clinton

It took forever to get through to either office, which was encouraging testimony about the volume of calls they must be getting. The person at Schumer's office said that they were getting "Oh soooooooooo many calls about this!" When I asked if Sen Clinton had made a decision about whether she would stand tomorrow the person said that she was "undecided". They also mentioned that Clinton had been very "tuned into" this issue from the beginning and had had her chief counsel attend the Conyers hearings. I know she said recently in a radio interview that she hadn't heard much about it, but apparently that isn't true. I seriously doubt that either of my Senators will stand, but I can dream, can't I?

[Patsy Stone]

58. Sent e-mail to Bill Nelson

Subject: Please reconsider Rep. Conyers request

Please Senator Nelson, as the minority party in the Congress, it behooves us to stand for what we feel is the right thing, even if it's the most difficult thing to do.

Voting Irregularites, no matter if it's suppression or actual criminal activity, can not be tolerated. If we lose the franchise, we are no different than other countries fighting for a Democratic system of government.

This is the United States of America. If we believe we are the greatest country in the world, exporting democracy around the globe, we should start at home.

Please, please reconsider standing with your fellow Democrats to make a stand against partisan, corporate-owned, paperless voting machines.

Thank you for your time.

[ChiciB1]

59. Got An Email Letter From Kerry

He said ro call Dennis Hastert at 1-202-225-0600 AND Bill Frist at 1-202-224-3135!!

The call is to make a formal request for Election Reform. I've been dialing and dialing and can't get through.... guess they've either decided NOT to answer OR they're getting bombarded!

[bj2110]

60. kick!... keep calling. Still time left in the day!

[genius]

61. I've faxed all and called more than a dozen.

[Woodstock Liberal]

62. Corzine, Lautenberg, Dodd, Boxer and

God help me, I even call FRIST !@#!$^

[AmerDem]

63. I made 3 calls today

Hastert and Frist...at Kerry's request and Specter...he's my Senator.

[Brentos]

64. Obama-IL n/t

[bear425]

65. I called them all between yesterday and today! n/t

[planetc]

67. as of now, nearly all of them

I set out to call all 100, and have made good progress. I left a message with a person in all but two cases, when I had to leave it on a machine. I have a list of 5 left, whose offices I haven't talked to yet: Boxer, harkin, Isaacson, and Schumer--their phone lines have been busy on three tries today. So I've talked to approximately 95 offices, I guess.

[Helga Scow Stern]

68. Link to Hastert and Frist fax and voice offices. Please call!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x239333

and tell Kerry you did:

[bj2110]

69. kick. We still have all morning to make phone calls!

[Chelsea Patriot]

70. I called Clinton in DC and NYC and Boxer in San Bernardino.

According to the post office, the letters I mailed Monday to a dozen Senators should have arrived in their DC offices today.

[FreepFryer]

73. About 40 calls, about 30 emails, about 20 faxes (that's just the Senate)

[GetTheRightVote]

74. I am calling them all, they all need to hear from us so they know we

know what they have all been up to of late, the eye of the American People is watching them and will return what we receive on election day.

:kick:

[selmo7]

75. Thanks for your inspirational efforts BJ!

If it weren't for this group and posts like yours, I might not have called around, but today I phoned Boxer, Levin, Byrd, Clinton, Chafee (R), Dayton, Levin, Biden, Reid, Collins(R) and Snowe (R) and tried Bill Nelson but couldn't get through.

I plagiarized a lot of your post to pass onto my "people." Hope you don't mind - :-)

[LeahD]

76. Sent faxes and E-mails until I made it through the list

of all the Democratic Senators and also to McCain, Colins, Snowe, Chafee!

[slipslidingaway]

78. Called almost 90 offices

today and will finish the balance tomorrow. I asked that they take a serious look at the report issued today by the House Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff. Since I have never called any elected official before today the calls went smoothly and most were receptive.

I was silent in 2000, but will not make the same mistake again.

[Greybnk48]

79. called Russ Feingold n/t

[orleans]

80. KENNEDY STAFFER SAID NO

he told me there was no evidence of voting irregularities in ohio, that the recount was already done and that all the votes had been counted.
i was shocked. i said: "In Ohio?"
yes he tells me. and a protest will not change the election.

so. now i know where kennedy stands.
how disheartening.
for years i've thought it would be a sad day when he leaves the senate.
now i'm having a change of heart.
bye-bye teddy. you don't deserve that job when you don't give a shit about the voting rights of Americans.
legacy? how 'bout not enough of an american to keep democracy alive.
all bluster. all bullshit!
shame shame shame

[bj2110]

84. dissapointing... but I don't think even the staffers really know... :)

[Midlodemocrat]

86. That is not the reply I got at all from Kennedy's office

I was told Ted was seriously considering standing with Conyers. Which office did you talk to?

[Wilms]

81. Kick n/t

[bj2110]

83. kick... T minus 3 1/2 hours....

[Coexist]

85. I faxed ALL of them, thanks to some of the links here

I emailed them all, and I also called the Frist and Hastert, McCain, Boxer, my Florida three (only one Dem, but so be it) and all the moderate republicans. I know they won't stand, but I figured that we should jam their faxes and phone banks anyway, so they know people are pissed and mobilized.

[buddysmellgood]

87. Faxed 12 so far.

[bj2110]

88. Boxer's DC line has been busy all morning....

I can't get through to at any of the other best candidates, either.
