I am calling all of the people in the slinkerwink's diary and demanding a strong public option. Which BTW I had no trouble getting through, which mean that there are a lot of complainers but not a lot of callers. Seriously folks get off your ass and call these Senators.
So anyway I was on the phone with Senator Kohl from Wisconsin and his office person was rude. Since I do not live in Wisconsin the person on the phone basically said that Senator Kohl only cares about people from his state.
If anyone here encounters this kind of nonsense let me give you a few talking points to shut that person right on up.
1 I may not be from Wisconsin, but the Senate passes legislation that affects every person in this country. Healthcare reform most definitely affects everyone in this country.
2 I may not be from Wisconsin, but I support move-on and will financially support a primary challenger.
3 I may not be from Wisconsin, but I can go on the internet and find phone numbers of people who do live in Wisconsin, don't think that I won't randomly call people in Wisconsin and tell them your office is rude or that you do not support healthcare reform.
4 I may not live in Wisconsin, I can go online a write a diary devoted to how your office was rude, when I called on behalf of a strong public option and healthcare reform, which will save lives and help my fellow citizens.
Thank you/End Rant
Peace.
PS OMG CALL YOUR SENATORS ABOUT A STRONG PUBLIC OPTION.
