okay so i made the calls today

Thom Tillis got through immediately on the DC line to Joey. Richard Burr had to call the 336 number but again i spoke with a human.

to me that means not enough people are calling. please, flex your citizen muscles and get on the phone to your senators.

watching the arrests of the disabled people outside the office of the most venal disgusting senator of them all made me cry. really cry. and i'm at work.

I'm also at work, but I made phone calls to Cruz's office and got through to a staffer.

Took me calling every office listed for Cornyn to actually get through to a person. Cornyn hides all the time, so it's not a tell tale sign if you get through or don't get through. You can almost always get through to a voice mail merry-go-round and almost never to an actual human being.

I finally got through to his East Texas office, a fact that I believe is due to the idea that he is probably more inclined to receive calls of support from that area of the state.

Bottom line is - we both called. Everyone needs to call!
