I picked up the following from another list . . .

Subject: Voice displeasure to Congress at Exxon's expense

Hello all,

. . . I thought it is important and there could be
considerable interest on this list.

Exxon Corporation has set up/paid for a 1-800 line to
contact US Senators. It is under the auspice of a group
that wants to refine the environmental laws and the
regulatory tendency of US environmental policy. The thing
to remember is that EXXon is paying. Anyway, a small group
in Boulder has been trying to get this number out to the
other side, if Exxon is providing we shall take. They pay
the bill but the caller is simply connected to the office of
a US Senator.

1) Dail 1-800-444-1555

2) They will give you a short recorded message.

3) Follow instructions if you have a touch tone phone,
public ones work best and they have other advantages. :>

4) Enter a zip code...they ask for yours but it doesn't
have to be...it can be any in the US.

5) Make a choice of the elected politician's office you
want to be connected to.

6) When the staff person answers you are set to discuss the
proposed environmental reform regulations, OR ANY OTHER
ISSUE YOU WANT!

Couple of tricks...we found they limit the number of calls
to 3 from each number. Solution: public phones are
everywhere...enjoy Exxon's corporate attempt to influence
"grassroots democracy".
