Poll... Are you willing to strike on phone calls? How much do you pay monthly?

[colorblind]

The old days of just writing were a lot more romantic and we got so much closer from that than we do now talking.  We drift into stupid stuff, like playing Jeopardy against each other over the phone.  I would do it, maybe take just one call on the weekend.  I could send more money and he'd like that.

I would strike only if it would make a difference and if many participate.  My monthly phone bills are usually around $300 and that's with Consolidated!  Imagine what I could do with that money....that's a monthly car payment.

It sure is...and for some families it could be a month's rent.  Or a month of groceries.  I know some will say that poorer families shouldn't be accepting the calls....but that's unfair.  They should have every opportunity to talk to their loved ones also.  Only the rich should be allowed to communicate with inmates?  Absurd.

I didn't put how much I spent either. When I was with AT &T/SBC..Or whatever they are calling themselves now...I was spending in excess of $200 plus for phone calls. But since putting him on punishment (don't ask!!! !!!). I've gone back to Comcast and will have the basic $50 plan and I let him know that I'm only accepting one call per week from him. But if you guys were to strike, count me in. I've had many issues with Consolidated and if they weren't the only company that handled Dixon's calls...then I'd tell them where they could go!!!

Count me in!!!

I just realized that we have 570 IPT members and only a little over 200 signatures on the petition.  Hello members, let's get this petition signed.   #&*(

And many of those signatures are NOT our members.  Many are from mailing lists that were sent to other organizations and churches.  Imagine if every member got fifty or a hundred signatures over the next six months?  Maybe we need a challenge here......

I wrote to my congressman here in CA.  We'll see what he says.  I like him and he's a pretty liberal democrat.   &*& So far, I haven't had any luck on the petition here.   :-[
