Question: Michael, what is your opinion on the recent change in "hold music" on congressional phone lines, which was instituted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi?
Answer: First a little background. Until just last week, when constituents or anyone for that matter, would call their congressional rep's office in DC and be placed on hold, patriotic American music would be played. Nancy Pelosi has slimmed down the choices for hold music in Congressional Offices to (1) Jazz or (2) No music at all. It is important to note that this change has not saved money for taxpayers nor has it cost taxpayers anything extra. So why the change? Well, with the "death panels" being stricken from the Universal Healthcare Bill, I guess the Democrats figured that they'll still be able to bore older constituents to death with elevator music instead. Thanks for your question.
