Bad News: Can't get through to my Senator. Good News: Can't get through to my Senator

[EffieBlack]

Our President speaks softly but carries a mean bully pulpit.

1. K&R! nt

[Lugnut]

2. I can't get through to my Rep in the House.

It's a waste of time anyway.

[EffieBlack]

4. It's NEVER a waste of time, no matter how bad or unresponsive they are

Keep trying.

[Lugnut]

5. Oh, I'll keep trying.

He never responds to my questions. He keeps repeating the talking points he's been told to use. We've had a few go-arounds on the Ryan plan and the health care vouchers he proposed for Medicare recipients. I really think I got to Rep Barletta because I kept calling him out on his BS.

3. I can't get through either...

..but will keep trying.

6. I'm not going to call or write any of my representatives....

they're all Dem. : )

[vaberella]

8. That doesn't matter--there are Dems who help Repubs.

Not to mention, they should also be working to change the minds of Repubs as well. I don't see why they don't get a call as well. I'm from NYC, I have Schumer, Gillibrand in the Senate----shit I got Rangel in the House---that means nothing to me. They all deserve a call.

11. Call them anyways - they need our support

9. Just emailed my rep (FL-republican). I wasn't nice.

10. I used CONGRESS.ORG....nt

13. I got through to Hagan(D), but not to Burr(R). Is that a good thing?

:shrug:

14. Who's your Senator? If he's getting a lot of calls, I hope he's a Repuke.
