For later.
"Radar Screen" Calls by Freepers to suspect, hiding Democrat Congressman.
Details:
1) Call should be placed to their DISTRICT OFFICE (that way you don't need to call long distance to D.C.).
2) Be polite.
3) Specifically ask for their "District Deputy" or "Chief of Staff" or "Legal Counsel". (Best to research and get their specific name and ask using their name.)
4) Ask this person one you get him or oher if they would e-mail or fax or mail you the "US Congress Rules Under Ethics Committee Governing the Conduct of Town Halls By Congressmen".
5) Say nothing more. Be real silent after that. Use silence as a weapon. It will drive them nuts. Closely politely, ask that they mail you the materials. (And of course, then be a good Freeper and report the results of your phone call here on FR).
Believe me, word of these calls will get back FAST to Capitol Hill that constituents in their District are putting this on the radar screen. This might in fact then prevent them from doing some of the things they are planning to avoid We, The People.
Of course another fun thing would be to say nothing to them, let them play their little games they are cooking up, infiltrate one of these staged meetings which they bill as "Town Hall" and on their Congress-alloted budget, see if they had any violations per the House Ethics Committee, get the goods on them if they did, and then get it to the newspapers and the Ethics Committee and get them in trouble.
At the end of the day, there is more than one way to skin a cat. (Apologies to cat lovers out there). We can't allow Congress to go to the dogs. This seems to be one thing we can do if they think they can start to shut these down and shut us out, and pack them with astroturf shills for their side.
