time to do your civic duty

[rkt]

i've stolen this from someone (read: hardvice) on my friends list....
jerry falwell's gang had this bright idea of organizing a phone drive to have folks call their senators in support of the Federal Marriage Amendment. go here (a new window will open) for the numbers of your senators to voice your opposition or you can call the Human Rights Campaign number : 1-800-672-3184, and try to be connected that way.
or go with a number below.
i tried to include every american on my friends list. i may have missed some for some reason. please, don't take any overisghts on my part personally. i tried to match up best i could with my limited knowledge. if i skipped you, don't take it out on your senator. CALL ANYWAY. dc number's were included because, for some of you, i know that a cell phone day time minute, is a cell phone day time minute, no matter where you're calling.

remember, it's not just a matter of HUMAN RIGHTS, it's a matter of preserving the consitution, people.

when not if you call:
tell them your name.
that you're a voter.
and to Just Say No to the federal marriage ammendment.

You kick ass. You know that, right?

My 1st ex, Mama's Boy, interned for Kyl. His (the asshole senator, not the brat) phx # is 602-840-1891.

When we call we should also emphasize that we are constituents of the people we're calling. There's no reason I should give Kyl or McCain an easy reason to dismiss my efforts.

And I like your icon. I may have to borrow it.

thank you

of course.
and i prefer to maintain company with those who do so with at least an equal amount of vigor.

thanks ... good luck with the calling.

take the icon. it's another northern sun special.

Sorry if you get this twice - I thought I just posted a comment but it doesn't look like it went through.

Thanks for doing this. I just called - and I should tell you, it's the first time I've ever called a sentor's office. I send emails, I sign things, I've sent letters - but I've never called. For some reason I was all thrown when someone answered the phone right away, and I think I sounded like a bumbling 16 year old who'd never used a phone before - but I got the message across. :)

i've never calle before either. and now i have the numbers in my phone : ) easy access.

i hope your people were nice.

sen schumer's office had me on hold for several minutes and were all snippy with me.
(so i called another office.)

[mangofandango.livejournal.com]

Well, the woman at Jack Reed's office laughed at me when I fumbled my words (with good cause, I suppose - my flustered brain said I wanted to 'speak with' the senator about the FMA rather than 'leave a message for', or whatever, which I'm all embarassed about ;)), but other than that, yeah.

But yes, next time I'll be prepared. And next time you'll know to try the other office, I guess. :)

[rkt.livejournal.com]

hell, why not try speaking with your senator? : )

but, yeah. experience is a good thing. i think i'll keep both numbers. i don't know how they staff their phone lines.
