Operation “House Call” Let Your Voice Be Heard[ November 4, 2009 – 9:28 am]by Bill Waller Posted in » National

Operation “House Call” is in full swing this Thursday. Many are taking a trip to Washington, D.C. to pay a visit to their Representatives and Senators and urging them to vote “No” on the new health care bill that is being presented.

Doug Hoffman, the man many Republicans broke party loyalty to side with (and then got mad when the Republican in the race broke party loyalty and endorsed the Democrat) lost to the Democrat by 4,000 votes.
