Also bear in mind that some of these politicians get so many faxes that even a whole building full of fax machines would never keep up.

The office admin had to ask me the other day what my fax number was so she could order new business cards for me. I had no idea - in two years, I've never used it. So she just left it off.

Honestly, I don't see where faxing offers anything not already available through email.

Oh, I know, believe me. But more and more doctors are sending prescriptions electronically. Most anything that can be done by fax can be done as easily (and often better) by email or Web.

Still a lot of FAXing where I work. Also a hell of a lot of completely unnecessary printing. People just gotta have something to hold in their hands.

I guess I'm out of that loop.  The optical business, and especially the medical side still use faxes extensively.

And saves about a zillion tons of paper. Faxes are going the way of the telegram (and snail mail, for that matter).

Most of them use a service that converts faxes to emails so they can be easily deleted without being read.

At this point in time, if you still have a fax machine ... use it.

Its real hard to ignore pieces of paper immediately piling up.

Irony is ironic: I just now finished writing and sending another letter to my president about this. Then I come here, open the first thread at the top of the RAFT, and read this.

We need to keep talking about this, before it becomes a foregone conclusion not only to our government, but to the citizens who will eventually check out in boredom or apathy.

if americans had to see the consequences of sitting on their hands about this

if they had to directly pay for it instead of foolishly passing the buck on to their children and grand children

then you'd see some action/reaction instead of making excuses or shameful silence

today we'll see literally hundreds of thousands of people all across america pay out of their pockets and congregate to root for their f*cking sports team(s)

yet there's little or no support for stopping certain death and destruction

i'm embarrassed and ashamed to see this

open your pie hole people

And the phone calls are working.

Zbigniew Brzezinski has already stated that the alternative media (C2C for example) is working and has had a direct impact on slowing down this rush to war.

The tide is turning, finally.

Ed Asner Explains Hollywood Silence on Obama, Syria: They 'Don't Want to Feel Anti-Black'

if you support your rep/leader's thirst for blood, violent murder of innocents by our hand, the massive funding of the military industrial complex and the nebulous corrupt power and aggression of secret courts and spy agencies, bankrupting the nation, and sending our youth into the insatiable fundamentalist meat grinder of war, then you can stop reading now

if you have notions of universal human rights, peace and prosperity, if you believe that we need an open, transparent diplomatic process and representation, to encourage negotiations, to stop the illegitimate misdirection of humanity, then you have an ethical obligation to open your mouth and call every person, and especially every politician at the local, state and fed level daily until they understand that pointing guns, aggression and dropping bombs is not in any way shape form conducive to the next evolution of human rights

please speak up before we let these politicians start world war 3

there is no wisdom in endless wars of aggression

peace
