Phone Call for Gaza

I just got this email twice in about five minutes.

I admit, calling politicians is not generally my recommended course of action.
But, as one friend pointed out, it can't hurt.

Apparently, Obama's staffers are "tallying votes" on the issue.

This is the text of the email that's being passed around, in case you haven't received it yet:

Dear Friends:
I just called 202-540-3000, then pressed 2, and spoke to a
volunteer with the Obama-Biden team about Gaza. They are TALLYING phone
calls. PLEASE CALL. I just elaborated on one point, that Obama must
call for an IMMEDIATE cease-fire. That it's an ongoing massacre, that the
Gazans are fish in a barrel, that Obama must SAY something, that it
will be a historic moment. PLEASE CALL NOW.
