Calling my "representative" in D.C.

While watching Cspan as the House voted to begin the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, I called Ken Buck’s D.C. office 202-225-4676 to comment. A very polite young man answered the phone.

My comment: “Like me, Ken Buck is a cancer survivor. Unlike many of his constituents, upon receiving the cancer diagnosis Mr. Buck had no fear that his health care would be denied. I ask that Mr. Buck think about that in the course of the present deliberations.”

After a pause, the young man responded, “Uh, well, I will convey your message.” He then asked for my zip code, thanked me for calling, and the call ended.

-----

I intend to keep calling. And calling. And calling...

And collecting donations from their owners.
