More Feedback

Here’s some more of my favorite feedback from people who’ve called-in today. You can still sign up at Save Betamax if you want to call in the next hour. Soon we’ll be switching to a sign-up for notification about future action (in case the bill comes to the Senate floor).

“Damn, that was exciting! I made the first call with my voice trembling and finished off my calls with a sense of empowerment. It was my first time calling the Senate or the Congress, and it was good.”

“Senator Hatch – I felt like I had the most success here. Everyone I talked to was extremely nice, including the young woman in the judiciary office who said that they’d received many calls today and she had learned a lot. I have to say I got the feeling that Senator Hatch’s staffers, at least, realize the pitfalls of this misguided legislation. She encouraged me to do a follow-up email to the Senator.”

“Sensenbrenner’s office asked if I was calling about the INDUCE act and said they were getting a lot of calls. I told her “it’s working, then” :-).”

·····

“Congressperson John Conyers office said they’d been getting a lot of calls about it and said it will be an issue in their meeting tomorrow.”

“I think it’s amazing that in just one week, so many people from around the country can come together to support a common cause. I am proud to have participated.”

“A note: Senator Fritz Hollings has the nicest staff of phone operators I have ever had the pleasure of speaking to. After giving my comments, the operator politely asked where I was from, and then engaged me in conversation about my home state of Florida (with all our lovely weather!).”
