NALC MEMBER:

Hello, I would like to speak to Representative Jones about H.R. 1215, the House Tax Bill.

STAFF MEMBER:

I'm sorry, Mrs. Jones is in a committee meeting right now. May I take a message to give her?

NALC MEMBER:

Yes, my name is Murray Carrier, and I am a letter carrier from Anytown, Fl. NALC Branch 999. I would like Rep. Jones to vote against H.R. 1215 because it would tax postal and federal workers, to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Please ask Rep. Jones to contact me about her position on this bill.

STAFF MEMBER:

I will give the message to Rep. Jones and ask her to respond if you will give me your name and address.

NALC MEMBER:

My name is Murray Carrier, and I live at 123 Main Street, Anytown, Fl., 99991. I hope she votes against H.R. 1215, and I will be waiting to hear from her.

STAFF MEMBER:

Thank you for calling.
