[I haven't personally tried this number, so I don't know if it still
 works.  If anybody gives it a go, please let me know if it's good.
 It would be darn ironic if a lot of people were forwarding this around
 without anyone actually using it!

[I tried it and, indeed, it's answered "Capitol."  Since I didn't have a spiel
in mind I simply said "Ooops, wrong number."  But you could say more...  -psl]

You can call Capitol Hill to tell your Congressperson or Senator what you
think AND charge the religious right for your call.

Far-right Traditional Values Coalition leader Rev. Lou Sheldon paid for a
toll-free number so anti-gay supporters could call congressional members
and express their political views.

Well, progressives can use the same number and give the opposite views
directly to DC.  The 1-800-768-2221 phone number connects you directly to
Capitol Hill.

Spread this post and the phone number as far as possible.  Let's make
some calls and push up the phone bill for the religious right.
