"WELCOME TO ALIPAC cyberdogg!

[Justthefacts]

I tried calling a few senators outside my state, and their VM's are FULL. No live aide (representative of the senator's office) on premise, either.

I sent the last fax letter urging my (R) senator to vote NO. It is a strong but reasonably worded statement. This senator is known to vote in favor of amnesty in the past, and his term will be the last.

I need FAX number to send the brief message urging the on-the-fence Republicans to vote NO.

Forget the fax , GET ON THE PHONE TO THE SENATE SWITCHBOARD

Okay I will try again!

Nobody is going to get a fax at this point , we are up against it and calling is the thing to do now

Thanks for the sticky

Forget the fax , GET ON THE PHONE TO THE SENATE SWITCHBOARD

Capitol switchboard didn't answer after 10 rings. (I dialed 202-224-3121)

What is SENATE switchboard number?

I tried with a few more senators and their VM are FULL. No live person (aide) in office.

I'm getting the funny feeling Reid scheduled this thing today because NOBODY IS AT WORK TO TAKE CALLS

Still have the problem that a fair number of votes for the DA or better known as the Nightmare Act are already bought by political agenda's.

Any way to watch over the net? Can't get much more then fox news where I am. I gotta live with my filipina wife overseas and our 2 kids while her spousal visa gets approved. Not much for US channels here.

Yeah, and it's the morning. Aides/interns taking the weekend break. Virtually ALL of their VM is full with the mix of support & opposition to DREAM Act as well as DADT. Mostly DREAM Act. These Dreamers sure filled VM with their begging.

Yes they have , but for a US senator to put the interests of an illegal foreign national over the will of the American people is treason , maybe not in the classical sense but none the less treason

We will not forget who they are when they are up for re election
