ACTION ALERT
Today we're going after "congress-critters" not Senators. (http://faxbomb.us/?p=14)






Youtube or it didn't happen right?

This is part of the Fax-Bomb\F-bomb project that started here on the forums and now has it's own website at http://faxbomb.us

Please check out the site and see if it's something you would be interested in.

Also I would appreciate it if you guys would digg (http://digg.com/political_opinion/23_Seconds_To_Contact_The_Entire_Senate)/reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/74ja9/23_seconds_to_contact_the_entire_senate/)/stumble/propeller (http://www.propeller.com/story/2008/10/01/23-seconds-to-contact-the-entire-senate/)/email to your meetup the video I linked above. I have a feeling that there's a LOT of ya'll that are tired of sending emails/making calls/sending manual faxes :D

I will be adding all the fax numbers to the site when I get home from work but for the time being this spreadsheet has all the senators numbers in it - just sort by "senator" in the first column and it will show only senators.

You rock! Keep this bumped; maybe a sticky? Contact your representatives up to 7,000 times a month for less than $10...

I'd go easy on this if it was me, just use it for important stuff occasionally. If you spam their faxes, they'll end up just being like emails and thrown away in mass.
Then everybody will have less access, and you'll get the blame.

I think apathy will sufficiently counter the abuse factor. This is very important though!

Let's do this today!

Agreed :)

If you really want to stand out write out a letter by hand and sign it, scan it - then fax it to all of them. :D

I just faxed all 100 senators. It was pretty easy after watching the video on faxbomb.us.

Please update the number of subscribers on faxbomb.us. I signed up and the number did not change. The higher the number the higher the possibility of more participation.

Just updated it - sorry, have to do it manually for now, working on getting that changed to be automatic.

We are up to 9 people. That means 900 faxes for the day (assuming everyone ONLY sent 100 ;))

Cmon guys! We need some more.

I made a new spreadsheet with today's tally, more phone numbers, more addresses, and hyperlinks to their websites. It's all been validated fairly well too.

Hammer time.

Enjoy!

Nice, I forwarded this---well done!
