Sen. Dole’s office personnel told me the reason the lines were so busy were the calls in opposition to the immigration proposal. He said I’d just have to keep calling until I got through. I sorta laughed and told him the 800# I just dialed got me direct access TWICE without wait and I asked him why Mexican nationals had such easier access to US Senators’ offices when US legal citizen constituents would just get a busy signal? I repeated it didn’t look good that a foreign government had access to their communications network and they were unaware of it. He just thanked me for my call and said goodby.
This weekend Rolling Thunder will be in D.C. and there will be parades and lots of tourists. It would be the perfect time to urge people to write and phone and give reasons why this bill must never pass.
I hope this thread will be placed in Breaking News.
