Conyers: (202) 225-5126

Schumer: 202-224-6542

Toll Free Numbers: 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887, 800-614-2803

15. I Got A Guy
Who gave me the feeling they are getting a lot of calls. But calling the WH and leaving a message isn't a bad idea.

14. I think he was asked if they might consider some kind of other deal and he did
not rule it out. I say keep your fingers dialing and let them know without an oath it is a license to lie when considering the current administration.

18. I got Conyers office
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 02:33 PM by Sydnie
They said they would pass the message on when I said "Tell the WH Conyer's isn't Howie Mandell and this isn't Deal or No Deal! This is OUR government and there will be oaths and open - Shown live on C-SPAN - hearings or there should be subpoenas and consequences, just like any other citizen. They aren't special, just crooked!"

He said he would pass the message along!

edit because is and isn't are two different words :blush:

Conyers is a good man, but I think it help when they know that we're out here and on their side.

20. Mentioned

The guy who answered laughed and said thanks for the call.

21. Just got Schumer's office too
Gave him the same speech I gave Conyer's office. They took my zip code and moved on. His phone must be ringing off the hook! Good! Keep the pressure on them!

Live, under oath, on my C-SPAN station ... nothing else will do!

22. I called Conyers this morning
and told them its time to impeach - and the woman answering the phone said she has gotten several calls and our voices are being heard - so when you call Conyers to say NO DEAL - throw in your support to impeach these criminal freaks

I also called Leahy and Schumer's office - told Leahy's office that I know he has stated he wants them under oath but was calling to add my support that to testify behind close doors, without a transcript or oath was RIDICULOUS

32. thank you

Thank you for the simple post and the telephone numbers.

Your 800 number goaded me into calling. I have never called Washington D.C. before. I called and asked for Congressman Conyers. I told the person who answered the phone that I had seen President Bush's press conference and I wanted Karl Rove to answer questions under oath. The person on the other end said, "Yes. What makes him so special?"

It turns out I was speaking to Congressman Conyers. He was so gracious. I am so glad I picked up the phone and made that call.

Thanks again for the numbers. - back to lurking!
