My call to Boehner's office this morning

[Monique1]

Called his office and said I have questions- I would like to have answers

1. Where is the job bill? Answer - that is coming. Me, but you all ran on a job bill - jobs were #1 - Her, well we are waiting to pass a budget bill and a deficit bill.
Me, why are you waiting? Where are your bills? Her, that will be coming. Me - but you all claimed to have the answers during the election and I am waiting for them.
Okay, she really had no answers except something will be coming (like they try to destroy all dems) They have no answers and no plans.

2. My next comment was, you want to drop SS and Pension plans or cut them - where is your plan to improve them? Again, there will be a plan. If you cut these programs, what is your plan for the transition? Again, the plan will be coming. What are you going to do with the people who have lost their benefits?

3. What is your plan for the average American? I don't want an answer - I said Boehner and Cantor are invited to come live with me for a while - they will be introduced to many average Americans and those without. They will meet seniors, those losing their homes, those who are having a tough time surviving, those out of work, those who are homeless because you know what they do not have a clue how people are surviving in our country except those who live on Wall Street, those who live in their rich districts. They need to reach out to everyone. Tell them, they have an open invitation to stay with me (they will sleep on a love seat or on the floor). They need I told her to leave their rich neighborhoods and face the reality outside their comfort zone. They are so out of touch.

My final words to her was to tell them to stop criticizing and bring to the people a plan for everyone not just the rich. Put those martinis down they enjoy with the lobbyist and get in touch with the real world. I said that is all I have to say - she said I will pass this information on - I am sure she will.

2. good on you!

[Dappleganger]

3. You invited them to come live with you?

Brave woman!

[Monique1]

4. Yes, I did

Reality will hit them in the face quite quickly. I would have to a fumigation service come here after they leave though :7

6. there was so much more I wanted to say

but I did not want to give a reason for her to hang up on me.

5. I can't call Boehners office.

Capitol Police said I would be arrested next time , something about obscene phone calls , I guess they can't handle the truth.

7. Well done! ... And, thank you.

8. Do these workers know they're shoveling shit? They almost have to.

The paycheck must be pretty good.

13. Their staffers think they are wonderful people and they hate Democrats, unions,

gays, artists, and anyone who does not agree with them. Don't expect their staffers to be any different than the politicians.

9. If you (or anyone) call his office again

And I have to say, you're made of sterner stuff than me to call just the one time, but if you call again and you get the "that is coming" runaround, ask "When?" You don't have to confrontational, but when? By President's Day? The first of spring? Easter? Memorial Day? Just a rough idea, because you'd like to be sure that this very important campaign promise doesn't get forgotten or shunted aside.

10. They care less about what you think...Powerful rich folks would never have to make this kind of call

They get face to face meetings...etc.

Well done however!

11. Thanks for giving them a dose of reality

Too bad Bonehead himself didn't answer the phone!

[Vinca]

12. What if they showed up? How could you afford to keep Boner in booze?

14. Alright, Monique! Thanks for trying. K&R n/t
