Thread: Zip codes

Isn't it funny that if you call a politician's office, they want your zip code? And, if it is the "wrong" zip code, they don't want to listen?

Shouldn't our politicians be more concerned about the millions of illegal immigrants roaming our streets? What is their zip code?

no kidding.

I usually give a zip code from one of their district offices so they think I am a resident of their state. Otherwise they do not want to talk with me.

I tell them exactly where I'm from and they DO listen to me.

I'm an AMERICAN and they are being paid on my dime!
Your dime!

My family fought for this country and this flag...........they dare not listen to me

Polite but firm. ASK QUESTIONS and that usually knocks them back for enough time for one to speak their mind.
ALSO, tell them that you have the ability to influence many votes in their area and will do exactly that! We are no longer relegated to a small circle of influence

I've seen this practice on sending internet mail, (which I hate), but I didn't know they did this with phone calls too.

brought up a very good point!
Ask them.......Do they take zip codes from laraza, mexican consulates, maldef, etc?

If any staffer gives you the run around about the zip code where you live or the area code you are calling from, why not just ask them if they use that same criteria when taking calls or correspondence from the US Chamber of Commerce, National Council of LaRaza, the ACLU or the Mexican Embassy. We are American Citizens, we are the voters, and we will be heard. Make that damn clear to them!!


The Constitution of the United States recognizes its citizens as the stakeholders in our government. That very consitution does NOT recognize the chamber of commerce, the National Council of LaRaza, the ACLU, or foreign governments and foreign nationals as stakeholders. Who then should our elected officials listen to???

Yesterday I called several Reps. I told them I knew they didn't want to hear from citizens that were not in their district, but this mess was not a local problem, it is a National problem....one aide told me, "That's a good point."

I told him what one Reps does in one State, affects all of us.

Does anyone know if our reps in the DC office have caller ID?

I assume the don't, because I've called reps from other districts too, and each time they ask for my name and address.
