These are citizens outside Obama’s rally today in Fairfax, Virginia who were trying to let their voices be heard. They were warning Democrats that if they vote “yes” on ObamaCare, millions of Americans are going to vote “No” on them in November. “November is Coming,” they warned.

And besides all the rallies going on, phone calls to the House numbered close to 100,000 an hour, creating a bottleneck in a phone system only meant to handle 50,000 calls an hour. The chamber has been similarly overloaded for four consecutive days, beginning on Tuesday when radio host Rush Limbaugh told viewers to call the Capitol switchboard phone number.
Phone Calls Continue to Batter Congress
Roll Call
Jeff Ventura, spokesman for Chief Administrative Officer Dan Beard, said the problem was essentially unsolvable. The issue lies with the capacity of the cables buried underneath the Capitol complex — and even if those could be dug up and replaced, Members simply don’t have enough staff to answer so many calls, he said.
“Our capacity rate is about 50,000 calls an hour, and once we hit the 40,000 mark, we start to get these signals,” he said. “We’re beyond that. There’s no other way to say it other than the system is at capacity.”
They may get their “Sweet 216” today but their governing days are over in less than eight months patriots! “WE HAVE NOY YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!!”
