366.0. "a chance to make a difference" by LEZAH::BOBBITT (face piles of trials with smiles) Fri Jul 31 1987 11:29

    sorry, my previous attempt botched the title, (366.0), so this is
    reposted - apologies
    
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
This is information from my posting in womannotes, (#417.0)
    
The Senate Judiciary committee has a phone number to call to register
your favor/disfavor of Judge Bork's nomination --
please call if you are interested -- it only takes 10 seconds -- and say 
whether or not your are in favor of appointment.

 202-224-5225  

        The line is open most of the day, and evenings, and if no one is
    around to answer it a machine answers with Judicious message of
    some sort....but keep trying if you're interested....the line will
    remain in service until response dwindles, or until the matter is
    settled.
    

    This is a chance I've never had - a chance to be heard
    It's your chance too - whatever your stance.
    
    -Jody

	Remember too, that if you don't try to do something now, you will have no right to complain later when things start to change adversely. The same with voting - those who don't vote - can't complain.

	re: .0 Where does one get factual informaton complete enough to warrant calling up and making a statement one way or the other ? 95% of the "news media" in this country is owned by three men; so no matter what you read will be reflection of what these mens' philosophies are. .bob.

	re .3: Try the Christian Science Monitor. NOTE: it is NOT repeat NOT a religious tract! This newspaper is famous world-wide for reporting indepth information from all viewpoints about american news, politics, etc. Very seldom does any other newspaper do something like present the gist of a bill before the Senate, explain the consequences of it, and present the arguments and evidence of the pro and con sides. Very informative. MM

	Re/ .6: Yes, the Christian Science Monitor is a very good newspaper, but don't expect to find any coverage of medical or health science news.
