A laughing matter

By East of Eden

Filed Under Congress on Nov 6 

I’m just a housewife in the middle of nowhere. Today I wanted to petition my government; just like that old Constitution says I can. So I called my Representative’s office and what happened to me?

Gulliver the Intern laughed at me.

I’m not kidding. I was laughed at. My legitimate questions and concerns as an American citizen and taxpayer were laughed at.

I’m not mad per-se, but I am going to have fun with this. I’ll be calling Gulliver the Intern at Rep Ben Ray Lujan’s DC office at regular intervals today to see if he can take a call with a straight face. You can too, 202-225-6190.

Late Breaking Update: after tweeting and facebooking it my husband suggested calling a nationally syndicated radion program, say Glenn Beck. Well, I got on with Joe Pags, the guest host. Third hour about 35-40 into the hour. I think this might be my 15 mins of fame, but gosh it feels great!

    Hey EOE,

    I just left a message for Gulliver the intern.

    Told him we will be more than happy to have the last laugh in 2010!

    We got your back.

    Be sure to record it and post it on here so those of us who aren’t able to keep up with the tube can still celebrate your moment of fame with you.

    We did record it, but I don’t know how to upload audio files or if there is a prgram out there that does that…any suggestions?

    I guess you could create a video with Glenn’s face and your audio so you could post it on photobucket.

    A friend suggested a site she uses to upload her music. I haven’t had time to figure it out, but maybe tomorrow.

    EOE, if the audio file is smaller than 10 MB, try emailing it to me.
