The internet is known for taking small, everyday problems and coming up with creative solutions. There are services that will send you fresh razors every month, neck tie rental programs, and now, finally, a services that gives you all the tools you need to take your drunken stupor into the political arena.

Welcome to DrunkDialCongress.org

This service offers drunk and frustrated or furloughed citizens the chance to get their voices heard. The website acts like an online operator – you enter your phone number into the box, and you’ll get a phone call with a congressional office on the other side. It’s simple, really; so simple even your drunk ass can do it.

In fact, Drunkdialcongress even provides talking points for you to yell incoherently into your phone’s receiver between heavy, alcohol soaked breaths.

Here are some optional discussion points:

It seems the idea stemmed from reports of congressmen/women doing some heavy drinking instead of compromising on the shut down, or fixing the looming debt crisis. And while I respect their desire to drown their problems in a glass of hooch, they are still getting paid while more than 500,000 federal employees face furloughs and have their jobs, and futures, in limbo.
