If your Rep voted No to to the bailout, then please ask him or her to vote No, again...
...the next time the House votes:

House Roll Call

Phone:
(202) 224-3121


Example: "I would like to be transferred to the office of Representative _____."

(after being transferred)

"Can I give you a message for Representative _________."

(If so)

"Thank you for voting against the bailout. Please vote No, again, the next time there is a vote on the bailout."

3. I tried all day yesterday to get through to my senators' offices to no avail.
Going to call my congresscritter but being he is one of four in TX to vote "Yes" the last time doubt he will change. Hope the lines are burning up!

8. My rep voted No
And will again. Headline this morning. They tacked badly needed funding to the bill,funds we need here, but he's still voting no. This is why he wins year after year.

9. I called him first thing this morning

Darell Issa (I know, it's revolting) voted no on Monday and has said he will vote no again. He's scared to death of being voted out if he doesn't, I think. Even though his district is compeltely gerrymandered as a safe Thug seat - but this year things are different. I can't believe it - it's the first time in the whole time he's been in Congress that he's voted the way I wanted him to.:shrug:

Edit for clarity
