Thread: My Call to Senator Cornyn's Office

My Call to Senator Cornyn's Office
I called Senator Cornyn's office today. I was able to get through using the pro-amnesty hotline. In any event, I asked for the Senator's position on the bill now that his amendment failed and Ted Kennedy's amendment passed by a huge margin.

The very nice young lady who answered the phone provided me with the following information:

STAFFER : "Senator Cornyn does not support amnesty."

ME : "President Bush, Senator Kennedy, Senator Specter, Senator McCain and Senator Kyl also oppose 'amnesty.' Can I conclude from this that Senator Cornyn is in agreement with these individuals as to amnesty?"

STAFFER : "No. Senator Cornyn is definitely not in agreement with those Senators."

ME : "How is his position different?"

STAFFER : "Well, Senator Cornyn does not support any bill that repeats the mistakes of the 1986 bill."

ME : "Well, OK, then. What were the mistakes of the 1986 bill?"

STAFFER : "The 1986 bill was amnesty."

ME : "OK... that's a just little bit circular. How is this bill different from the 1986 bill?"

STAFFER : "Can I transfer you to someone in our office more familiar with this bill?"

ME : "Yes, thank you. That would be wonderful."

STAFFER: "Hold please."

The next thing I heard on the line--and I shit thee not--was a recorded voice with the following message:
"ADIOS."
Has anyone else had this experience? Was this something from the Senate switchboard? A message from the pro-amnesty hotline? Wierd.

Are you saying that the toll free number terminated your call?

I didn't make the call W.
The post is from the source link.

What a trip. I called that line about 2 times today just to listen to what it said and before it disconected it said "ADIOS."

I posted earlier about is sounding like Corn-Yen and Hut-Cho-Sin.
