Fair warning: Teabagger Nation is robocalling, looking for supporters.
Don't ask me to repeat the entire call because I hung up after he stated his name and said he was from the teabagger organization. He wanted some kind of response to find out if we supported their cause.

Too bad the Democrats haven't figured out how to reach their supporters.

1. I did get an email from the Obama people today telling me to
contact my Congressman and giving me contact info. I had already done it.

2. I think a small stadium horn
blown directly into the mouthpiece of the phone would be a perfectly appropriate response. :P

8. Vuvuzelas were given to us by God, for a reason
Personally, I prefer the "hang on a moment, there's someone at the door" approach. Go open and close the door and, leaving the phone off the hook, go on about your life and forget about it until you hear that tone telling you the phone is off the hook. All the time they spend waiting for you to return, they are NOT calling anybody else.

5. Yes, I got a robocall
from Dick Armey. I stayed on the line so that I could talk to a live person and have my say!

6. Actually
The president told people to contact their reps in congress, and guess what, they did! Phones have been ringing off the hook, websites for the reps in the house have been overloaded, and republicans are getting an ear full, even though they won't listen, america is contacting them and telling them to "COMPROMISE" and stop the BS!

7. True. Good point.
Everyone is fighting this issue. Even received a letter from a right-wing relative rubbing his politics in my face.

9. keep em on the line and hand it around to
different versions of yourself, just say wait a minute, I want my aunt pattie to hear this, then go on to uncle lou, grannie jane and the rest of the clan.

btw, in 2007 the Democrats did figure out how to reach their supporters, it just didn't go the way the supporters thought it would/:hide:
