I Called Casey’s Office 3 Times at Lunch. I know it’s hopeless, but he’s my Senator. I was routed to three different answering machines, none of them his.

 

I cannot get through to either Webb or Warner...heh!..

Call, call, call, until someone answers, at least a machine.

Standard-bearer for grouchy curmudgeonry since, oh, 1975 or so.

“delete messages from the voice mail system throughout the day and evening.”

So, they may delete your voicemail.

Feel free to keep calling back and refilling it. They are not listening and hiding and using weekends and holiday schedule to try and get away with this.

Would you allow someone working for you to behave like this ?

NO ! Don’t let up !

Eat ‘em up Houston Cougars !

 

Are you using VOIP?

The app I use (Skype for Windows) with the add-in Moonlight21 allows automatic redials when you get a busy signal. I’m set for 100 redials 5 seconds apart and have gotten lucky several times and gotten through using my laptop to do the “heavy hauling” for me.

If you use VOIP on your computer and have an app that interfaces to it check to see if it will auto-redial. You can then check out RedState while your Senator is being called in the background.

When all else fails…….. Shoot!

“We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.” –George Washington, letter to Philip Schuyler, 1777
