3. after 12 minutes on hold, I got the White House
They were very polite. (so was I)
I demanded nicely that we get a public option now, and that our country's future depends on this fix.

The only question they had (my ID gave them my name) was do I support reconciliation.
I responded yes, and she promised to get the word to the right people. Apparently, the numbers are huge, and all in favor of PO!

Thanks for doing this folks!

5. Virtual March
There's a huge Virtual March happening today to make sure Congress passes real health care reform. I joined, and told my representative/senators it's time to get health care reform done. The goal is to generate a million messages to Congress TODAY - and we need your help to get there.

Will you join me and sign up for the Virtual March? Just click here:

11. Yay! Glad to see MoveOn flexing its muscles (in the right way) again!
Great seeing how many are calling in each state. Here in New Mexico, couldn't get through to Bingaman, but will keep trying. Udall's office was very polite and wanted all my info.

Next the White House.

9. Six attempts and every time the message says...
"We are experiencing a high volume of calls. Please try again later."

BOOYAH!! And this is three calls to each senator so they are BOTH getting swamped.

I'll keep trying.

16. I called my rep and one senator
I am not sure if my other senator will vote (at all) on healthcare reform (he's signed the letter to Reid) due to his own health issues and I really don't want to pesker his office today.
