(Vanity) Attempted to Contact Representative Chris Carney, 10th District Pa

Posted on 03/19/2010 6:53:10 AM PDT by Namyak

Just contacted Chris Carney's office, 10th district Pennsylvania, my representative. Took me about 20 minutes to get through, as the line was busy, and when I did get through, the conversation lasted approximately 5 seconds. I said I was a constituent of Representative Carney's, wanted to make my voice heard, and the lady on the phone asked me what my zipcode was. I told her and she replied in a delivery that would make an auctioneer proud, "Thank you very much, I'll pass this along", to which I replied, "I didn't tell you want I wanted to say". I suppose she didn't hear any of that, because the line went dead immediately after she spoke. Anyone else attempting to contact their representatives get the same kind of treatment?

Maybe EVERYONE is calling in opposition to this so they’re just counting calls.

Here is an excerpt from a recent statement Carney has made.

“As I’ve said throughout this debate, I will judge every plan based on whether it increases affordability, denies insurers the option of rejecting people with preexisting conditions and enables people to take their insurance with them when they change jobs. We must also protect coverage for our seniors and ensure that federal funds can’t go to pay for abortions.”

This guy lies, I have been on him since the beginning of the debate and he is perpetually undecided until it’s time for a vote and then he’s a yes. Just called his Clark Summit office, got right in spoke my mind and was told “I’ll tell that” and then click. Here are his contact numbers, I encourage everyone to call.

Washington D.C. Office: (202) 225-3731
Shamokin District Office: (570) 644-1682
Clarks Summit District Office: (570) 585-9988
Williamsport District Office: (570) 327-1902

Wonder is he’s getting an Ambassadorship?

We elect them, and then they and their staff treat us with complete and utter contempt.

I cannot get through on the 800 numbers, I get a recording that says the numbers are “invalid”...which I know they aren’t. I can get through on my reps 202 number.

Anybody else get the invalid message from
800 965 4701 or 800 828 0498?

I got through with the 202 number, and I also called his Clark Summit office where they actually allowed me to speak my piece. Perhaps later today I'll call the Washington office again and get my statement in before I tell them my zip-code.
