Title: Capitol Hill switchboard being used to push Obamascare!
Post by: jinxmchue on September 27, 2009, 01:30:05 PM
Well, this certainly can’t be legal… can it? If you call one of the numbers that leads you to the switchboard for Congress, the number you’d call to be put through to your Congressman or Senator’s office, you get a short message selling Obama’s healthcare snake-oil before being transferred to the switchboard operator.

How can this even be legal? After all, this isn’t the Democrat Party hotline we are talking about here. It is the main phone number representing all of Congress, not just Obama and his nationalized healthcare policies. I repeat, this is the phone number for all of Congress, not an activist’s number to sell Democrats and their policies.

While it lasts, try it yourself and you’ll see. The number is 1-800-828-0498.

Here is the transcript of the message you’ll hear:

Thank you for calling your Representative and your Senators.

Please urge them to vote yes on health insurance reform. Because the American people can no longer wait for more choices, lower costs, and coverage we can count on.


After this little message the phone rings once again and is patched through to the switchboard operator.

I just called and its still there.  Probably will be until Monday when the Democrats come back to work and pull it.

You and I both know that said individual won't be.  They'll be "reassigned"--probably as a "czar" of "voter compliance" or something like that.

Did you email this to Hannity?  He's got a show on tonight.

We'll process the paperwork just as soon as we find his birth certificate.

The 800 number belongs to a pro Obamacare front- FamilesUSA.org.

No, it's an official number for the congressional switchboard.

Okay, it looks like it's actually not and Homecreek is right, but the people behind it aren't being very clear on that fact.  It's being spread around liberal websites as if it really were the Capitol switchboard number.

Yep, I was wrong.  It is set up by some lefty group, and after the message it does forward the caller to the legitimate switchboard. I wonder if this is even legal, as they have passed some telephone spoofing laws.

They certainly don't identify themselves before the pitch begins or even after.

The far far lefties always have to lie, cheat and steal to get you to call (this number), register to vote (ACORN) and vote (way too many examples to list)
