UPDATED Toll Free Capitol Hill numbers (for calling to support Obama on the gun issue):
Hey guys -
I went through all the numbers I saved to get to the Capitol Hill switchboard, TOLL FREE. Two of them are still good.
1 (866) 338 - 1015
and
1 (866) 220 - 0044
There's a recording that comes on and some music because all the lines are busy, but you get in soon enough. I just used the first one to call dana rohrabacher and the second one to call cathy mcmorris rogers. BOTH republi-CONS, both NOT mine, personally, but they still need to know. My kid was in school in rogers' district, and I myself used to be in school in Orange County, part of which is represented by that rohrabacher knuckledragger. I spoke to staffers each time, and they were courteous. I've encountered in-yer-facers before, but neither of these were. They seemed receptive.
THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM US and to be reminded that there are WAY more of us than there are teabaggers, and WE WANT THIS, AND WE WANT THEM TO KNOW WE WANT THIS, and we want them to stand WITH President Obama and VP Biden on this, and NOT OBSTRUCT ON THIS!!! I beseeched them as a mother and a wife and a woman (reminder, reminder, reminder about that key demographic that the GOP sucks with). I reminded them that a vast majority of NRA rank-n-file members agree with US on these restrictions to WANTON ACCESS TO GUNS.
(FRAMING NOTE: if I dare be so bold, please consider perhaps using or adapting that phrase. The word "wanton" is VERY descriptive and loaded with meaning a la - indiscriminate, reckless, WAY overboard in the so-called "freedom" department.)
I also noted that we should all consider going back to muskets and bayonets (BUZZ PHRASE) which was the firearm currency when the Founders were doing their thing, for all those strict Constitutional "originalists" or "traditionalists" or whatever they're calling themselves this hour, as far as supporting a literal interpretation of the Constitution. Because the Founders surely were NOT protecting any Tom, Dick, or Harry's right to have mow-down machines that can pick off half a neighborhood in less than a minute. At least those olden-day weapons only nailed a single victim at a time.
Anyway, if I find more toll free numbers, I'll post 'em, and put 'em in my sig line, since I tend to post a lot.
PLEASE people, don't be afraid to call in. Especially if sentiment is running numerically in OUR favor!
rohrabacher's staffer said they were getting a LOT of calls like mine.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I will send it to all my friends!
