Dear Jack and listmembers, Thank you ALL for your HELP! When Bilirakis Aide Patricia DeLoatch rudely hung up on me, after I struggled for 10 minutes to get through to her, and then did it again to me, I was so flabbergasted and shaken that I had to tell the story of her refusal to hear my UDALL BILL plea to all of you. Perhaps she was stressed out, but I should NOT have been her target!!It now has become painfully clear how arduous the task of winning over close-mided politicians is. The E-mail address I have for Rep. Michael Bilirakis is DIFFERENT from the one I saw on Saturday's digest. I was given this address by an aide to Congressman Baldacci: [log in to unmask] PLEASE NOTE that there is a "0" (zero), not the letter "O", in this address. The "fl" is made up of the first two letters in FLorida. The "09" refers to Bilirakis's coming from the ninth district of Florida. I used 1-800-962-3524 in both calls that Ms. DeLoatch terminated rudely. I assure all listmembers that I was polite and considerate, despite her disrespectful behavior. Bilirakis should address this outrageous slap in my face--and in all of our faces!!
