Dianne Feinstein needs 22,000 more anti-amnesty calls before she'll consider it important
Washington Times/John and Ken Show ^ | 5/24/07 | Washington Times/John and Ken Show

From the link:

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein says the public emotion surging around efforts to overhaul the nation's immigration policy is the greatest she has seen since her 1992 election.

The Democrat said the topic hasn't translated into the 30,000-plus phone calls to her office that would mean "something is really going on" in the nation's most populous state, but the enthusiasm of opinion is fervent.

...She said most of the nearly 8,000 calls her office has fielded have been "very hostile and very negative" despite polls that show up to 80 percent of Californians support legalizing "undocumented workers."

John and Ken from Los Angeles' KFI are urging their listeners to give her a call using the phone numbers here.

My big problem with this bill is all these “work visa” types would be voting.

I really don’t think a lot of them will jump through the hoops to become citizens, but I don’t think that will stop them from voting given the fact the Demos keep shooting down proper ID at the polls.

Well, that's 2 lies she told today. Those 'polls' results have been twisted out of shape. They don't tell the details of what they ask!

I printed out in LARGE print a short message to Diane about her arms dealing husband and her dishonesty and faxed it to every one of her offices in California.

All the numbers are at www.senate.gov.

I did not call but sent her a blistering email regarding my disgust with the Senate bill. It will probably be ignored but at least I got it in her InBox.

Don’t know if posted, but some senators have caller ID so if you call from out of state they’ll know it’s not a “correct” area code. Just say it’s a cell phone from where you used to live.

Okay... I tried.

Boxer

1. 213-894-5000. A human answered after 2 rings and got an earful. She promised that that she would pass on the message.

Feinstein

1. 310 914-7300: Busy signal (multiple tries)

2. I tried the 800 Spanish number and made my way through various queries.... only to end up with a recording asking me to input a mailbox number. In other words, that number goes nowhere in contacting Feinstein.

3. Back to 310 914-7300. Recording. “Our office hours are... if you reached this recording during normal business hours, we are experiencing an unusual volume of calls. Please try later. Good-bye.” And it hangs up.

UPDATE... one more try on Feinstein before posting this and the second ring produced a human.

I first expressed my disappointment in their communication system (recordings and busy signals) and then provided my comments in strong opposition. The woman also promised to “pass it on.” She did ask for a zipcode (Boxer’s office asked for no info).

..contacted Feinstein (I can't believe I just wrote that)

Anytime I have any contact with a Democrat--it is like a trip to Mordor...

I called that number but it dead-ended after step 2. I pressed one for Feinstein, pressed one again for Feinstein.

I then got a recording requiring that I input a mailbox #. When I didn’t put anything in, it hung up on me so I tried again. This time, I ended up the same place and started putting in random numbers—all of them came back saying “that is not a valid mailbox number.”

The good new is that the Spanish direct line is taking the Spanish speaking population nowhere either.

Don’t know if posted, but some senators have caller ID so if you call from out of state they’ll know it’s not a “correct” area code.

I know. That is why I said to call the Senate Switchboard...as opposed to calling the Senator directly. According to the Senate website:

Alternatively, you may phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.

I don't think the caller id will make it passed the switchboard operator. If it does, your suggestion to say it is a cell phone is a good one.

100% correct. Calling DiFi is a complete waste of time. She is in the pocket of the big agriculural producers that rely on illegals to pick strawberries and everything else grown here. Not to mention the wealthy silicon valley donors that prefer to use cheapo programmers from bangalore rather than home grown engineers.

Better to spend time lobbying those senators who are on the fence (no pun intended)

You can use the zip of the home I grew up in 95670. My wife and I will never move back to California. I like living were most people still speak English. Although we get a lot of migrants in Idaho (so far they are keeping a low profile here), most go home in the off season. The rule of law still means something in this state (plus most people have guns and know how to use them). Neither one of our Senators are going to vote for this bill. Big flip flop by Senator Craig. I guess he wants to come back here from time to time without being the guest of honor in an old fashioned Western neck tie party.

If you truly consider what most Republicans do and say, they're really not any better.
