I think we need to seriously ramp up our efforts when it comes to getting results.

It has become apparent to us that emailing and writing a couple of people is not going to work.

I propose that all of us that are USC's undertake what the consumer advocate group that I know of calls "email carpet bombing".

I propose that all of us send out an email to every United States Senator. All 100 of them.

I realize 100 emails, or form emails, or whatever, is a lot to do...but if you're tired of sitting in the backlog of bureaucracy, if you're tired of being trampled on by the government...it's time to act! Let every single one of these people know that they should use their powers in the Senate for the good of their countrymen and women.

I am collecting web addresses now, and I'll post a list for everyone who is interested to participate in.

100 Senators getting the same email...there is zero way that can be ignored.

Bill, if you had some time, and were feeling generous... maybe you could do some CSC stats?

*puppy dog eyes*

or, you could PM me a step-by-step of how you do it, so I could do it myself...?

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Byron, yes! Do call. When was the last time you called? You too Mel and Syl.

Shoot I got lucky when I called and got an officer on the phone. Hope you do too. I say, keep bugging them! :angry:

I actually called yesterday, i got a guy that was very nice and polite...he explained that once the RFE requested returns, they put it back on a shelf until they get a bunch so that an officer starts adjudicating them... :blink: .....Im tired of calling and getting a run around or someone rude...last time , which was last Friday, i got a rude lady just wanted to know what i was calling for, i explained and then she started telling me how she had a record on her screen of how i have called for the same thing a couple of times...i told her , well of course , im still waiting for an approval..thats why....im just sick of calling that place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Maybe they're waiting for mine!!! As soon as it gets there, then they will start working on them! :D

No reason to apologize. I just wanted to make sure people were not getting the impression that these were new approvals and conclude that VSC was churning out the approvals. As to the update date, sometimes that is misleading because the timeline will be updated multiple times for various reasons. Jane & Don (Pineapple) for instance first entered their NOA2 on their timeline on Nov 5.

Jo and Anthony (Jolouise) on the other hand is a new one I think. :)

* Includes CSC, NSC & TSC through July. August through October includes CSC & NSC

* Includes VSC only through July. August through October includes VSC & TSC

Im confused how the June number for VSC is 5. Im counting 12 approved of June filers????? Am I misinterpreting this chart? Im getting 51 May filers have been approved thus far...4 July filers approved, 0 August, 3 September, 3 October.

I think you are using the NOA1 date. I am using the sent date as indicated.

AHHH thank you for clarifying that.

Bill, if you had some time, and were feeling generous... maybe you could do some CSC stats?

*puppy dog eyes*

or, you could PM me a step-by-step of how you do it, so I could do it myself...?

I will see what I can do. :)
