Yesterday I made a couple of calls to my senators' offices to oppose immunity/amnesty for telecommunications companies. https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?alertId=357&pg=makeACall
I spoke with low level employees, but I at least hope my call was tallied and that call tallies on issues/bills are relayed to the senators. Locally, after all the posting here on Utah HB 139 I looked up my local representative in the Utah House of Representatives( http://gva1.utah.gov/elections/polling.aspx ) & called the number listed - it was his home number. His wife kindly gave me the rep's cell number. I called the cell #, and the rep answered the phone himself! He said he was on the floor in a debate & would call me back. I was very encouraged by the immediate response and look forward to the follow up. I would encourage others to call - not just email - their representatives & senators(locally & nationally), and if given the chance, to meet with them in person. The schedules of the Utah House & Senate are here: http://www.le.state.ut.us/asp/schedule/schedule.asp?Session=2008 -- Lars /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
