Revolution Messaging created drunkdialcongress.org
This site randomly selects a member of congress, you are then connected to their office phone and free to leave whatever message you'd like because I'm almost positive they won't answer.
Try it out? Here's a link from Business Week talking a bit more about it.
I like the idea behind this website, which is that people can call members of Congress in order to share the ways in which the government shutdown is affecting him/her personally, but I think it loses ALL of its effectiveness by being labeled drunkdialcongress.org. Encouraging drunk/silly messages will not result in anything productive and whoever listens to those messages will simply delete them.
ReplyDeleteIt's just harassing interns anyway.
DeleteEh, at worst people get to troll them back. The country got trolled big time.
Deletewhat sucks is that someone will actually have a goo thing to say an it will never be heard
ReplyDeleteThat's the sucky part of it, harassing interns. Also its a waste, who listens to drunk people anyways.
ReplyDeleteShame that this is what it's come down to. Funnily though, there's a lot of truth hidden in this. This is the face of modern democracy, where the views of the citizens are considered as important as a drunk person's rant.
ReplyDeleteI like Devin's comment a lot. It does seem to have good intentions, they just went about it in the wrong way.
