As a Texan, I made four phone calls this morning.

Greg Abbott.

Dan Patrick.

Ted Cruz.

John Cornyn.

I want to know why people in the Rio Grande Valley are not receiving any federal help and some are being sent home to die because the hospitals are without resources to treat the number of cases that are showing up at the emergency room. I’m in San Antonio and our situation is also very grim. If death panels are allowed in the RGV, who will be next?

Yes, I understand that it was a waste of my time. BUT if every Texan reading this were to also call, it just might get somewhere. Who knows. But can you spare a few minutes?

Greg Abbott: 512-463-2000

Dan Patrick: 512-463-0001

John Cornyn: 202-224-2934

Ted Cruz: 210-340-2885


I also commented about the miserable way the crisis is being handled and that I expected my representation in Texas to be about helping Texans; not about Donald Trump.


Thank you.

3. I'll call 'em today

Need to shame my representative, roger williams (Tx-25) into doing something useful, too.

Been about a week since I left a vm at cornyn’s office.

I loathe calling patrick, as I really struggle to maintain composure when thinking about him. But, I’ll do it.

4. Thank you.

I understand about having to sit on my anger as I choose my words. I am completely enraged and have a hard time not showing tat.

5. Not a waste of your time at all.

Every completed call tallied in the plus or minus column. They may not admit it publicly, but elected officials at all levels are swayed by public opinion. Every call becomes a part of their internal poll for which way the wind is blowing.

Thank you for posting the phone numbers. It does help.

6. Thank you.

But this thread is sinking fast, so there doesn’t seem to be much interest from others I making phone calls. Without a large volume, the politicians pay no attention.

This is why we need to organize.
