Yesterday, I decided to call Rep. John Garamendi’s (CA-10) office in Washington, D.C. He’s my representative and I wanted to voice my opposition to the Senate Health Care Bill. I spoke with a female staffer and politely told her that, while I support health care reform, I oppose the Senate Bill because it wasn’t true “reform.” She said the Congressman thinks it’s a good bill and that he campaigned on health care reform. I told her I knew that. I also mentioned that I voted for him. When I tried to give her specific reasons why the Senate Bill would harm our system rather than reform it, she refused to listen. She said she was very busy and hung up on me. Being the persistent person that I am, I kept calling back. Each time I tried to finish my point, she hung up.
I called one more time. This time she said, “If you call one more time, we will notify Capital Police.” I asked why my conduct warranted involving federal law enforcement agents. She said I was “harassing” her. I tried to explain that trying to convince a representative to change his or her vote didn’t constitute “harassment.” Before I could fully explain, she hung up again.
I called back. This time, I asked to speak to her supervisor in order to report her repeated hanging up as well as the threat she made. I was placed on hold. Thinking I was holding for her supervisor, I was shocked when a Federal Agent with the Capital Police picked-up the telephone.

If you vote to elect a democRAT you can expect him to act like a democRAT.
So what is he doing voting for this dough head in the first place?
That graphic it totally inappropriate. Everyone knows you hold the gun horizontally, not at 45 degrees.
Why worry about a few phone calls when you got that! (bwahahahahah!)
John Garamendi is my congress slug. When I called I got a male. I gave a short reason why he should vote no and then hung up on them.
Representative Garamendi
You are either a stretcher of the truth, or you have not learned your lesson after about 7 years on this site. I was unable to get through to any congressional leader I tried to talk to. What made you so lucky to get through 3 times in a row?
horizontal is so last decade.....

Garamendi was a disaster as insurance commissioner thus CA does what it always does-elevates him to a more powerful position.
How they do forget who is income vs who is mere overhead.
Nice wig, douchebag!
