You have two hours to call the White House and tell them
what you think of Obama's plan to give the Republicans what they want in cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

Phone Numbers
Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FAX: 202-456-2461

If enough people jam the lines, he might get the message. It won't hurt to contact your senators and representatives as well.

2. What about the execution of Humberto Leal? What about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?
What about our ongoing failure to fully adopt and embrace the Metric System?

Fuck it. I'm going to stay home and slack off all day.

3. Done.
I couldn't get through on the phone, so I wrote them.

I really cannot believe this shit.

4. I called both the Switchboard and the Comment Line
and was made to wait for a "volunteer" who would take

my comments, but he/she never came.

I sent my "comments" via email, but I will keep trying

to get someone on the phone.

This is really the "Line in the Sand" for Obama and the Democrats.

If they cut SS and Medicare, it's really "all over", IMO.

5. I waited about 4.5 minutes
The volunteer operator sounded very frustrated and resigned.

9. Good! That means that the people are getting to them.
I myself had to email cause I couldn't get through, but I'm still trying to call.
