[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 369326, member: 2189"] Peterson and Abercrombie stated this morning on C-Span that Congress is really starting the catch heat from the American public and calling Pelosi might be one way. However, at some point she and her staff will become hardened to the effort and then you're just enriching the phone companies with a long distance phone call. The better scenario is not to convince one but convince 100's who then confront the one the change. Call your local Congressman and Senator and don't forget to call your State and local officals to. These folks also have direct connections to the elected leaders in Washington so make their sorry little asses work for you for a change. Leave no stone unturned in this matter because it's starting to have an effect. Also never send a form email being passed around as it doesn't take long to realze what the gig is and they just dump these things. I know because I have friends in politics and one of my best friends has been a Congressial Staff manager and he's told me pointblank these things just get dumped once they see a certain trend. Formulate a quick email that is to the point [SIZE=4]"IN YOUR OWN WORDS" [/SIZE][SIZE=2]and these are very effective. Be respectful and nice.
