Have you ever gotten through on C-span? I did 3 times.

The first time I dialed, it rang twice and they answered, I was so shocked I could barely breath to get the words out, and I don't even remember why I called.

And the third time I asked some asshole republican senator on a crusade against marijuana how much money he took from the tobacco companies, which I knew in advance he took millions, he sort of drifted off into another subject altogether.

Have you ever gotten through, and for what?

1. I've never gotten thru but of course, I've never tried.

But I always wonder why some callers manage to get in a couple of times a week that Brian and the others have to cut them off for violating the policy. But then you hear some say it took them over a year to finally get on. Is there some trick that most of us don't know with the dialing or something?

2. Most of the time I tire of hitting redial and give up.

And I haven't even tried in years.

3. Maybe you have to register republican. Since they have our phone and

email records, they know who is calling, and the voter registration records, now computerized let them know what party you eblong to and how often you vote.....
