The recent debate over the nearly $900 billion economic stimulus plan and revelations of tax problems by three Obama administration appointees have voters angrily jamming phone lines on Capitol Hill to air their frustrations to their elected representatives.
Voters are calling several congressional offices, complaining about stimulus negotations.
Their reactions are putting pressure on Congress and benefiting watchdog groups on both sides of the political aisle.
Capitol operators tell CNN Radio that phone lines have been jammed for the past two weeks, sometimes prompting busy signals.
A spokeswoman for Sen. Jim Webb, D-Virginia, said calls on the sweeping stimulus plan jumped from eight during all of January to hundreds a day now.
In a sampling of 12 Senate offices, half had so many messages that their voicemail boxes were full.
It's because of people like Betty Davidson.
"I'm very upset!" exclaimed the 63-year-old from Laguna Hills, California.

CNN is full of crap. It's the Rats trying to ramrod this through.
Yeah, they’re part of the lying MSM...but both parties heard from voters but only the Republicans and a small number of Dems responded to them.

To late now.
When you vote for a persom based on their skin color and fimd out they have no substance beyond that later, that is YOUR fault.
Surely, your remark is directed at the electorate in general and not at me because I opposed the Usurper from the beginning!
Yes, but this bill will save 500 MILLION jobs a month!
Obama is off to a stumbling start...
..this STORY is such a line of BS, DOES ANYONE BELIEVE JUST 8 CALLS DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY?.. said calls on the sweeping stimulus plan jumped from eight during all of January to hundreds a day now...
..these clowns can't even lie without exposing their complete idiocy....your government at work
Yes, you are right. It is too late to cry about the outcome of the election and it would be wonderful if everyone here who keeps whining about it would direct their frustration where it would do some good.
It's not at all too late to melt the phone lines in opposition to this bill. Senators on both sides of the aisle clearly have a moistened finger thrust skyward here as public support for this boondoggle has dropped like a rock in recent days. They know full well there is overwhelming opposition to this bill amonst the electorate.
Call your Senators today!
He certainly is...but the drive-bys are already trying to make him a victim! A victim of his own incompetence?
DON'T YOU DARE!
Obama’s response to the phone calls-
“I WON!”
9% Nancy has Congress’ APPROVAL RATING up at 12% now. HA HA!!!
