CALLING ALL C-SPAN!

Okay, bitching time is over, time for action! It's time for COTO old_phone to put our message where it will do some good.

As habit I awake to C-SPAN, I don't know how many other Washington Journal junkies are in COTO, but those that are, and those that can when time permits, need to let each other know so we can form a sort of We Are Change squad for C-SPAN.

We can post who's coming on, form questions for them and follow-ups for those that can get through. Take note of when we were on, and U-tube it. Maybe even do a direct edited link into our posts.

This could be fun. WJ gets some good guests with and audience of 3 million people. A dedicated small group of persistent trouble making know-it-alls like ourselves could liven-up the show considerably.

What say ye! How many can call?

  1. I am game, but after my call regarding Elliot Spitzer being set up for his investigations into Wallstreet and GlaxoSmithKline, I never got through again.

    It was some time ago and I will try again M. It's a great idea!

  2. I get on all the time. You have to be persistent, sometimes I get through on the first call, but more often than not it takes an average of a half-hour.

    The idea is that most of the time whomever you get to doesn't really answer the question. So whomever gets on second should force the issue.

    There have been a couple of times I got through twice and was able to back-up myself. But than I have to disguise my voice and change identities.
