How Dare They Try To Influence Our Calls to Congress!!!

September 28, 2009 on 5:27 am | In National Political | No Comments

In another serious breech of the public trust the switchboard at the United States Congress has been commandeered by lobbyists- at least partially. Apparently pro-ObamaCare lobbyists have taken control of the toll free number for the US Congress. The Cool Conservative has looked into this and found that before a caller can even reach the operator to ask for an extension, the caller hears a message that appears to be an official greeting in that it says in a female voice: “Thank you for calling your Senator or Representative.”

It continues: “Please urge them to vote yes on health insurance reform because the American people can no longer wait for more choices, lower costs and coverage we can count on.”

After a short ring, a live switchboard operator answers. (In the several times we made the call, also female voices, not unlike that of the first recording.) When these operators were asked why their phones were being answered with a pro ObamaCare message, none of them could provide any real explanation except that it was being done by “lobbyists”.

Operators did not believe that the voice mails of individual Senators or Representatives had been compromised.

This is an outrage!
