Americans Melt Phone Lines Against Boehner's Immigration Bills in Hours Before Vote "The American people have overloaded the Congressional phone lines yet again on Thursday, pressuring their members of Congress to vote against the House and Senate immigration bills.

The Capitol Hill switchboard line was busy when Breitbart News called at 11:30 a.m., in response to Speaker John Boehner’s effort to pass a supplemental funding bill that has minor policy changes—and includes a separate vote on language dealing with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that is substantially different from the original language from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)........."

Wonder if they use the technology that counts call attempts even though the user gets busy? Makes for a pretty simple “public poll.”

I don’t trust Boehner, he still might try something sneaky before the summer break.

House conservatives don’t want to pass ANY bill that will allow Reid to water it down and graft amnesty onto it in conference.

Boehner would love for that to happen, but it looks like it won’t.
