They hung up on me!!!!!!!!

Mission Accomplished!!!!!!!!

Please call and flood his office with calls and support for the Public Option.

4. I told the guy I'd be happy to have him call me and he said "sure, I'll pass the info along" and I
asked him how that was possible without my phone number, and he just got pissed. Maybe he will reconsider working for such a douchbag after an afternoon of these calls, probably not though.

7. Yes! I asked if he had received many calls, and the guy responds with "a couple" in the most bitter
tone possible. Hating his job right now.

Told him that he found the one person in support of the public option - and he lives in his district!

The staffer didn't say a word.

10. Thank you for the reminder. Now, please remember that not ALL DUers have money for phone calls.
Please remember to post these Toll-free numbers... we aren't all affluent and can afford unlimited calls.

Toll-free Capitol Hill Numbers:


1-800-828-0498 1-866-388-1015 1-866-220-0044 1-877-851-6437


If you come across other toll-free DC numbers, please post those, too.

Thanks.

14. I gave the info I have... a call gets more notice than an email.
If you want to make more of an impression, send a fax.

Otherwise, call toll-free and make sure a staffer hears what you are saying:

17. Yes, all that is given out is the numbers that charge. Please keep these handy, so we ALL
can participate!

I just heard of another one today. I will try it out to make sure it works, then also pass it on.

There was a DUer who kept the toll-free numbers in her sig line... you might want to try doing that, too.

blatant lies are disproven.

26. Done
Edited on Thu Oct-01-09 04:07 PM by blogslut
Told the person that answered the phone:

"I would just like Congressman Boehner to know that I'm an American and I am in favor of the Public Option."

Dude said, "Okay. I will tell him." - sounding like he's been getting a number of such calls. :)

29. At least the weeping boner has a human answering his phone, unlike Dickless Harry.

32. I called this afternoon after you posted the number
Thank you!

The guy who answered didn't seem very enthused to talk with me. I very politely explained I had heard about Boehner's statement, noted that I am an AMERICAN and I SUPPORT the Public Option. I explained I vote, my family (all Americans and supporters of the Public Option) also vote.

I explained to this gentleman that he needed to take great pains to assure the Mr. Boehner knew I called so he can adjust his statement to reflect that he knows at least one American that supports the Public Option.

The guy was very happy to have me end the conversation.
