I called...got one live person who sounded very bored...in the other two offices I got the person's voice mail. One of them actually returned my call while i was out and said he would see that the senator was briefed on my call.

Unfortunatly, this sounds like the letters I received after emailing them in and from my state and Hillary!

Congressional B S!

They need to be deluged with either calls or emails.

I know there is a lobbying group made up of a lot of GLO IHQs but they can always use help in the numbers department.

If we as Greeks do not push this, no one else will as we are all either rich kids or from rich familys.

I called. I called for my parents who are Greek too (I'm cool like that). Everyone was really receptive and either co-sponsors or willing to talk about it. I even went in to talk to one guy more in depth who's a LD for a Senator (I work/live here in DC) and he was really into it hearing about it, which was nice.

But it's NOT too late to call now. The offices clearly knew what was happening that day, because soon as I called and asked for the people, they were like "are you calling for that Greek housing thing."

Also, check and see if your university supports the bill as well. If you're not sure, you can call or email the caucus and they'll tell you. But you can probably just call your Greek life office and find out pretty quickly as well too. They love it up here when BIG groups like that sign on, because it represents so many constituents.

Just to bumb and update this thread!

I have not forgotten and hope no one else does!

I still email my and other Reps/Sen to remind them!

But, as usual I get the BS note.

So, there needs to be more who keep contacting them to help each of us!
