Call yer Congressman- end up in jail

It begs the question- Who elected these arrogant morons? So this guy calls his Congressman and wants express his opinion about the current healthcare bill and he gets hung up on by a staffer. He calls back to get hung up on again. After a few tries at trying to voice his concerns, he ends up being chastised by Capitol Police. So I guess now the morons we elect to represent us have zero responsibility to talk to us. And if you push the fact, you'll end up in jail. Incredible! Here's the full scoop:

I called back. This time, I asked to speak to her supervisor in order to report her repeated hanging up as well as the threat she made. I was placed on hold. Thinking I was holding for her supervisor, I was shocked when a Federal Agent with the Capital Police picked-up the telephone.

No one in America wants to man up.

It's sad.

Everyone uses the so called "law" to evade issues.

I laugh at law myself... because I found over the years, just by adding some "scary" law lingo into something, it saves me troubles.

People at scared of their own government... why not call America a dictatorship? It's getting there, and people are letting it happen.

One the one hand hand it is honorable that he wanted to voice an opinion and participate, but on the other hand after the second phone call he should have realized that he was at a dead end and quit calling. It was harassment imo.

I would like to hear the other parties version of the exchange as well.

The point is he never was permitted to voice his opinion completely.

His tax money pays her salary. He should've been permitted to voice his opposition and reasoning behind it fully.

What's funny is that he voted for the guy. Maybe next time he will vote for someone with integrity.
