Amnesty Protestors Crash Capitol Hill Switchboard

The Capitol Hill switchboard has been overwhelmed by calls to Congress.

The 202 224-3121 number is jammed, likely by people protesting House Speaker John Boehner’s 2015 government funding bill, which allows funding for President Barack Obama’s unpopular decision to stop enforcing immigration law, and to award work-permits to at least 5 million illegal immigrants.

Boehner’s effort to fund the $1.1 trillion bill and amnesty is being backed by President Barack Obama, whose deputies are pushing Democrats to support Boehner’s bill.

The Daily Caller called the switchboard number at 3:28, and it was not answered for seven minutes. It is usually answered after a few seconds.

When quizzed by TheDC, the switchboard operator merely said “there is high call volume.” She declined to describe the level of calls. “My job is to answer and transfer,” she said.

TheDC called again at 3:50 and a second operator picked up the phone after nine minutes. When asked why there was a delay, the operator responded “apparently that is self-explanatory… there is more people in line than normal.”

Keep calling!

[DoughtyOne]

Good for you.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Excellent, melt the damned wires!

[Obstinate]

It was probably much ado about nothing as the GOP yahoos will do what they want.

Guess you could call it my last gasp at trying to influence them.

I just voted for Bill Cassidy for senator. During the campaign, he was forever rightly pointing out that Landrieu voted with Obama 97% of the time, and that he was forever against amnesty. So today, he voted for the rule that allows the omnibus bill to come before the body, a vote WITH Obama and a vote FOR amnesty. I was going to email him a lay a good cussing on his sorry ass, but it is unavailable. I hope he enjoys his six years in the senate. He won’t get another term.

I have given up attempting to influence them. I will work hard to throw the LIB/RINO bums out. They know why people voted the way they did. I find their duplicity so then and so tiresome. Can you spell LIARS?

[DoughtyOne]

I hear ya. Good luck with that.

No offense, but there is something you should know.

” Boehner’s effort to fund the $1.1 trillion bill and amnesty is being backed by President Barack Obama,” Judas goat.

POS TOO!

[Obstinate]

Trust me I know how you feel.

Other day here I got called a rat, not worthy of the benefits of the Constitution, etc. All basically because of my sig line.

Yes, I think we’re watching the final days, it’s over, we’re toast.

But I am willing to give them one more chance.

One.

And then...color me gone.

[Obstinate]

None taken.

As above, they get one more chance.

I gotta get a job with that schedule and pay.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Evil POS. As bad as Obama.

[itsahoot]

I gotta get a job with that schedule and pay.

The pay is just a smokescreen for the graft.

[americanparatrooper]

Sedition against the United States is still punishable by death, I do believe, and has a lower threshold to proving it than treason. Treason requires the death of an American before you can convict.

Either way, Boehner and company know fully that the voters just made themselves very clear when they voted to stop Obama and his policies, now Boehner is attempting to fund everything the American voters just overwhelmingly said NO to!

[Bitsy]

I voted for him too. I was hoping for the best. I guess our best was that Landrieu is out and that is as far as it goes. This sucks.

[cornelis]

I’m on hold . . .

[onyx]

God bless you!

[Obstinate]

Graft...ill gotten gains...etc.
