I have also tried and they hang up once you tell them the truth as to where you live. The best thing I have found is give them a zip code of the state they represent. I know it is not the right thing to do but it is the right thing to do since they are so protected from all the people in the US. They are chickens. On the concerns of so many bloggers here about he media, well here is an idea. I am one of two organizers for the Alton IL TEA PARTY group and here is something to think about. Let's start with our local TV stations and News Papers across America and protest in front of their offices with signs that say what we think. Let's contact the big money owners that are in the tank with Obama and his administration and let them know we are coming after them and we are fighting for our freedom of speech and expect them to abide by the Constitution of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Let's organize all of these TEA PARTY groups and 912ers groups and do it. It could be done and ready to go in November or Dec. It is important that we change the mode of these greedy news outlets and it will not happen if we do not demand it. We just had an event in Springfield IL and I put our 17 different press releases in the area and finally after calls to The Alton Telegraph it went in a few days before our Patriots March For Freedom in Springfield. None of the others printed anything and they had the same press release. Not only is this unfair and an attempt in muzzling the other side of the coin, it is asking you to pay for the unfair paper. I do not even watch the local channels anymore in this area, I miss the weather but can get the info from the Internet so not a real loss. If you are a TEA PARTY person or if you know the organizer of your local TEA PARTY then contact them and let's get this ball rolling. To every problem is a solution. We are "the People" and we are the soldiers in this battle so let's take on the fight and let our voices be heard in front of the offices of our local media outlets. If you are interested you can contact me at abra@gtec.com. I agree with Cliff that it is next to impossible to address the most dangerous in this administration.

I know because I have tried time after time without results, except for John Boehner. He is the only one that has more than half a brain. I would appreciate if someone at Heritage could send me e-mail address and/or ph.#'s. Like Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein. Primarily, telephone numbers. We, the little people, need a lobbyist just for us, who cannot contact the left wing dunderheads. Please respond.

I do not know who the reporter was that gave commentary, but she started her commentary with, "the people who went in to Acorn officeses with hidden cameras were conservative right wingers." It sounded demeaning the way she said it. The whole story should have been about the corruption with in Acorn. I watched MSNBC Morning Joe, they gave some news on the ACORN scandal.

Thank you. The rally/march on Sat. Sept. 12th was a banner day for America. It was the beginning of the 21st Century American Revolution. Let's keep informing one another and let's keep the momentum going. Over a million, perhaps more, showed up for this event in Washington. We must honor their resolve and committment.

The Senate voted 83-7 to strip ACORN of HUD funding, that's good. But, who are the 7 who voted to keep ACORN funding? Wouldn't it be interesting if we found out that those 7 senators had a bit too much ACORN money in their pockets? Hmmm. The Senate voted 83-7 to strip ACORN of HUD funding, that's good.

You must have a little memory loss. Bush tried for Social Security reform and warned of the impending housing and banking crisis. He was soundly defeated by Democrats and the media ignored the warnings. I find this not so funny. And, for a mediocre President he did keep us safe after 911. Right now, I don't feel so safe - do you? Richard – USA.

After what I've watched them do by comfortably sliding in bed with the Current Admin, I've decided that there will have to be a hard freeze in Hell before I ever trust them, the MSM, again.
