    Re: USARK Alert - READ!!!!!! November 5 deadline

    I dont care what you are doing right now. CALL. IT TAKES TWO SECONDS.

    This has to be as BIG of an impact as HR669 was.

    FIGHT this with your teeth and nails. Pass it on. post it on every forum you visit ( Kindly use their search function first Bump existing threads)

    Dont sit back. DONT hope others make a difference. EVERY SINGLE VOICE COUNTS.

    Re: USARK Alert - READ!!!!!! November 5 deadline

    Will these reps listen to voters who don't reside in their states? I had a lot of problem with the sponsors that were out of my state actually giving rats behind about what i had to say with HR669:/ not that im not going to call (OH I WILL)

    If they try to tell you that he/she is not your representative, you tell them that this is a vote on a national bill and their vote will directly affect you.

    BE POLITE, do NOT be rude to the staff (not directed at you cinderbird - this is a caution for everyone). State your opposition to the bill WITHOUT dramatic emotion, the only way we want to annoy them is with the sheer VOLUME of calls.

    YES! yes yes yes yes yes yes.... take a deep breath before each call and make it as pleasant a conversation as possible. I know myself how hard it is when emotions get surging over all this, but they definitely need to be kept in check, so we don't come across as the angry, crazy, reptile people.

    Re: USARK Alert - READ!!!!!! November 5 deadline

    is anyone actually getting an answer? i'd bet these calls by monday will be screened and msot missed all togethor.


    Id on't think as an individual what we have to say will mean Squat. I think the shear volume is what will cause them to think.
