Activism Opportunity: Call Paul Ryan about the ACA

[redsixwing]

Found on Tumblr.

Time requirement: <5 minutes
Spoons requirement: phones (no conversation or socialization required!)

For the millions of you that will lose your insurance if Obamacare is repealed please call Paul Ryan. It took me about two minutes, most of that waiting patiently for the recording to end.

Paul Ryan is conducting a phone poll on the ACA (Obamacare), hoping to hear overwhelming popular opposition to it. If you would like to express your support for the Affordable Care Act, call (202) 225-3031. Press 2 to weigh in on the issue. You’ll hear a brief recording about HR-3762, Paul Ryan’s proposal to gut the ACA, and President Obama’s use of his veto power to stop it. Then, you will have a chance to indicate your opinion with the press of a button.

Press 1 if you support Obamacare, 2 if you oppose it.

There is also an option after making your choice to leave a voicemail for Speaker Ryan, which I did, and recommend doing, but is obviously not required.

The voicemail inbox is full, but I did this. Took four tries to get through as apparently people are interested in this. :)

I tried to ring this afternoon (Monday 21 November about 1400 UK time) but there was no button-pressing option for a phone poll, just an invitation to leave a voice mail. Does that mean the poll is finished?

Hm. This may not be current any more.

I need to hook into a better news source; my current one seems awfully last-minute.

I just called from in the US and it worked for me as described- thanks for posting this.
