Power of the people!

I do not believe that the people of the United States realize how much power they truly have. This country has been spending the last 20 years arguing with each other about ideological differences. That's the way the politicians like it because it takes attention away from their own devious conduct.
People should write their congressmen more. It has a huge influence on them because so few people bother to write them.

Recently I had a problem with the case workers at medicaid. They were really jerking me around. I wrote a letter of complaint to my congressman. He sent me a letter of consent, which I signed and sent back to him. Guess what? One week later and my problem is over, resolved in my favor with apologizes coming over the phone from the ones sccrewing with me.
The last two months my phone was out of order about two thirds of the time. They kept sending techs out to fix it. It is the only phone I have and I need it because my wife can not walk and has had three strokes and I could not even dial 911.

Finally, I called the State Corporation Commision in VA. Two days later the phone cable in the street outside my house was completely replaced. I also got a lot of money knocked off the phone bill with a big credit.

My next action is against the health care monopoly here in hampton roads who own most of the health care companies/hospitals. They even own the lawyers here because of all of the lawyers contacted would not take the case to sue them.

I plan on writing a letter to the virginia board of medicine about them. They nearly killed my wife more than once because of their ignorance and neglect.

Have you been bothered by debt collectors? Did you know that you coulld actually sue them and receive compensation if they break debt collection laws? Check out this website. http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/commentary.htm#806
So I suggest that all of the apathetic people get off their butts and become active.
Power to the people!
 
Good information.

It also has worked for me a couple of times.

I also do the reverse. I spend a few moments to forward positive experiences related to someone's exceptional service, especially when there is no commision made.
