All day, as I tried calling Sen. Libous' office re: Patrick McElligott's requested meeting on hydrofracking, I tried the '0' and then the call was 'ended'--in other words--they hung up on their constituents. So, I went home, and, availing myself of the 'one party notification' rule of NY state (but prepared to tell the first person who answered that I was recording for possible air use and other distribution), I RECORDED what you hear when calling your NY State Senator's office. I tried '6' for journalists. I got to listen to some Wagnerian music, and I left a message (which you will hear). Then I called back and availed myself of '7' CAMPAIGN line--I left a message there as well. It's 8 minutes, but I think it says a lot.
